Can you eat only fruit for a week to lose weight?

Answer 1

Most likely yes. Everything you eat has calories. Most people need around 2000 cals a day. If you eat more you will gain weight, if you eat less you will loose weight. It takes 3500 cals to either gain one pound or loose one pound. Assuming an average person for an average week your body needs 14,000 cals. Therefore if you ate nothing but fruit and vegetables, as long as you did not exceed 10,500 you would loose one pound. This is different for every person but diet and exercise is the only sure fire way to loose weight. You just have to remember it takes as long to get off the pounds as it too for you to put them on. Neither will happen over night.

Answer 2

you cant just live on fruit because you wont be able to keep it up forever and when you stop you will most likely gain the weight bak on just as fast because your body craves for sweets it hasn't had in ages.

but if you do eat only fruit for a week, through out that week you will get headaches and suffer from tommyaches due to the lack of unhealthy eating. your body needs an equal amount of vitamins and proteins. so if u r planning to do that i'd think again because it is not a very good idea especially when trying to lose weight considering you will gain it bak on again.

the only way to lose weight is to have a blanced diet all physically, socially and mentally. and eat a variety of lean meats mainly chicken and avoid deep fried foods. in saying this im not telling you to not eat fruits, yes it is very important to eat fruits and vegetables. drink plenty of water, green tea. do lots of exercise.

but to completely answer your question you will lose allot of weight if you only eat fruits for a week but u will feel unusual and sick of eating fruits after it.

Answer 3

High levels of fruits, vegetables, greens and beans help you lose weight because they are low in calories, high in volume and high in critically important nutrients. On a very practical level they fill you up, without loading you up with fat and calories. And when your stomach is filled up with high volume, low calorie food, there is less room for other bad stuff.

There is also a growing body of evidence that shows that plant-based foods help to control food cravings and overeating. They are nutrient dense, which simply means they are packed with all sorts of good things for you, which is something most of us know.

But what is new is the idea that a diet very high (much more than the recommended 5 servings a day) can help turn off our cravings for processed foods. They can short circut the food addiction cycle, and help provide a jolt to your weight loss efforts.

Answer 4

Depends on how much fruit. But the healthier alternative is to just avoid junk food, eat moderately-sized healthy meals, and get exercise. This will take time; healthy weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week.

Answer 5

Yes, but truthfully, calories are what actually matter. The key to weight loss is to consume less calories than your body needs. Some people engage in fruit-only dieting because fruits are filling and lower-calorie than many foods, so they may be effective in promoting weight loss.

Answer 6

yes . its a healthy way to eat fruits rather than junk foods

Answer 7

Yes as long as you consume less calories than you require according to your height, sex, age, activity level, and desired weight.

Answer 8

probably, but fruit can be quite high in sugars, so it'll depend on how much you'll eat. Also keep in mind that fruit only isn't a sustainable diet in the long run.

Answer 9
