The Fruit Flush Diet promises a 9 to 10 weight loss in 3 days!
“During the 3-Day Fruit Flush, your system is relieved of the digestive burden of eating other foods and can clean out its system while burning fat because fruit is nature’s perfect cleansing food," says personal trainer and certified clinical nutritionist Jay Robb, author of the Fruit Flush 3 Day Detox.

Robb says that his quick weight loss plan is different from others because you can eat lean protein.
"When you eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein for 36 hours, you go into a fat-burning mode which preserves your muscle mass," he says.
He admits that 1/2 of that weight loss is water and some think it may even be a higher percentage.
The Fruit Flush Diet works by drinking protein shakes only for the first day and then for the next two days eat fresh fruit every two hours and for dinner have raw vegetables and a small portion of lean protein or a protein shake.
The diet provides about 900-1,000 calories each day. So this is what I say to everyone and anyone who asks: it is all about the calories. You can eat 1,000 calories of Snickers bars and lose weight or you can eat five 200 calorie meals and lose weight though you should from a fitness point of view be eating at least 1200 calories and that's a minimum. Still for 3 days 1,000 calories won't kill you (Don't quote me) and may be what you need to fit into the dress for your high school class reunion.
Other than fresh fruit, raw vegetables, protein drinks, and lean sources of protein, there isn't a whole lot you can eat on this diet. You can't eat dairy, caffeine, coffee, tea, alcohol, diet and regular sodas, starches, cooked vegetables, juices, most fats, and all sweets.
The American Dietetic Association spokesperson Elisa Zied, MS, RD, says that if you don’t have diabetes, it is fine to eat fruit alone but a better option is to eat some protein along with the fruit.
Exercise is not recommended during the 3 Day Fruit Flush because of the very low calorie intake, but is encouraged afterward, when dieters move to a higher-calorie diet, Robb says. Of course that goes against everything in which I believe.

Woah, this mentality will never lead to long-term weight loss! A 9-10 lb weight loss will only occur if you have that much to lose. I'm a raw foodist who basically eats this diet every day, and your info is just outright inaccurate: you can eat far more than 900-1,000 calories on just fruit, for one. Secondly, I exercise with no problem, since fruits include fats like avocados and protein can come from spirulina, kale, and other plant-based sources. Please, please be careful when posting gimmick headlines like "lose 10 lbs in 3 days" since it only entices 1) people with eating disorders or 2) people who are going to be set up for failure in a diet-like mentality instead of a lifestyle change.

Hi, I'm just reporting on this diet. I understand where you are coming from but eating disorders are a far more complicated issue than trying to fit into a gown for your daughter's wedding. The headlines are everywhere. They cannot be avoided. I do report some strange diets but I also report a lot of healthy eating and living and healthy ways to get fit. Jo
