From Claire, Age 18 - 06/15/07 - IP#: 64.131.205.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 162 lb, Goal: 130 lb - So my friend was talking about a fruit diet...where all you do is eat fruit for like a week and you can lose lots of weight. Has anyone done this? and is it effective? I told her the weight will just come back after you start eating like regular but I'm not sure. I'm thinking of trying it. I'm thinking of having my regular breakfast (Cheerios + 2% milk) and then eating fruits the rest of the day and exercising of course. Will I lose any weight by doing this? let me know, thanks guys and hope you're all doing well! Better than me atleast.

Reply from Vanessa, Age 14 - 06/16/07 - IP#: 69.159.59.xxx ahhhh the fruit diet. At first it seemed fine, just drink watter for a day, fruits for one day, veggies for one day, easy right ? I did it once a month which turned into once a week, twice a week, and then I did it every day. For 20 days i lost 18.5 pounds. I was starving i would drink hot water for me to be filled up, by now i guess you could say i was anorexic now. My parents made me eat. Id cry ,swear , as they force fed me (i think i even bit my mom one time) I didnt wanna eat. Id cry and cry, and if my parernts did get something into my mouth i would chuck it up. By now i had lost 35 pounds, my goal qweight but I wanted more, i cut out fruit(too much sugar), i had lost 45 pounds,my parents forced food down my throat,and watched me the whole day and they asked my teacher to watch me. Id throw up at 3:30 now.My throat started bleeding. The next day i got on the scale and lost 75 pounds i was so happy!!!! i was also 79 pounds.I thought i looked great, but i really looked gross now that i look at the pictures. Im okay now, i eventually just broke down and ate, i remember the first real thing i ate after the incident was a roll i cried so much it was soaked with tears. Im a good weight now, id like to lose 5 pounds.Im trying to eat healthy, its not as quick but it is working. Its just funny that a simple little weekend fruit fast can ruins someones life? everytime i see this diet somewhere i think this:Food is not life, if i eat this (timbit/doughnut/frenchfry) my life will not be any more exciting or glamourous. But i eat becuase theres nothing wrong enjoying the food you eat.

Reply from Maggie, Age 16 - 06/15/07 - IP#: 75.86.238.xxx The fruit diet, while it may burn a couple pounds, will only come to bite your friend in the butt. By not making lifestyle changes, she will most likely gain all of the weight back plus some. By making simple lifestyle changes, it is more effective to lose weight and keep it off. For starters, your breakfast is good, but try it with skim milk, shaving almost 100 calories off of breakfast. && don't forget to eat lots of fruits & veggies!
