For the week of October 19 - October 25, I will be on the Fruit Fast.
What is the fruit fast, you ask?
"One good option for weight loss, especially for those who want to eat a healthy diet even while they lose weight, is a fruit fast. During a fruit fast, dieters generally eat and drink nothing but fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juices. By eating fruit, dieters get all the nutrients their bodies need to be healthy, but cut most of the fats out of their diet.
Fruit fasts are also good for weight loss because you can eat all of the fruit you want while on the diet. Most people are more likely to stick to a diet if they don't feel hungry all the time and this is a point where a fruit fast shines. You can eat a lot of fruit without consuming many calories. In fact, you can snack on fruits nearly all day long and still not eat the number of calories contained in one meal at a fast food restaurant.
Another benefit of a fruit fast is that the body converts the sugar in fruit directly into glucose. Glucose is the main food of the brain. By keeping your brain will fed, you won't feel the 'fogginess' or lack of concentration you often get with a water only fast.
If you want to lose weight, but don't like the dizziness and light headedness that comes along with a water only diet, you might want to try a fruit fast. This diet will give your body the fuel it needs to keep going, but still allows you to lose weight."

For the next week, I will be eating nothing but fruits. I'm going to modify it slightly, and drink milk once a day so I am still getting a little amount of protein.
Wish me luck!
