What is a fruit cleanse diet?

A fruit cleanse diet limits the dieter to eating fresh fruits to cleanse the body of toxic or unhealthy substances. The diet program generally includes eating a lot of fresh fruit and drinking lots of water.

A fruit cleanse diet lasts for only a short period of time — usually a week or less. It involves eating fruits that can effectively cleanse the body such as bananas, coconut, oranges, papaya, apples, watermelon, peaches, plums and grapes. It may also involve drinking protein shakes and eating fresh vegetables. This type of diet is said to be a quick and effective way to lose weight, but the weight lost will mostly be water, so the dieter may put it on again quickly when the finishes.
