What Happens When You Eat Only Fruits for a Week

My experience when you switch to fruit-only diet for a full week

I’ve tried eating only fruits for a week and skipping non-veg and veg food entirely. That is, full week on fruit diet. So there are my findings.

1. I felt light, more energitic, and refreshed for first 2 days. It was a mild detox effect as I relished on fruits like oranges, apples and some grapes.
2. Since fruits has sugar and fiber, but not protein or fat, my energy level fluctuated a bit leading to sugar cravings, felt bit weaker and light-headed too from 3rd day on ward.
3. I also had banana, watermelon which are high in fiber, but that cause a bit of bloating and gas. But my energy levels were still high on day 5 and 6
4. There was muscle depletion on day 6 and 7 due to no protien intake, no inclusion of complex carbohydrates (that we get from healthy meal) and health fats.
5. My weight went down by few kilos but I did had frequent hunger pangs.
6. The best benefit I received was my body got detox due to fruit-only diet, but it lacked iron, and protein.

So, fruits are part of healthy diet (lifestyle) and some times in a year we can start fruit only diet for a week to detox our body – that’s the best tip I can give. But it should be for 7-8 days only and then we should switch back to regular food diet and include veggies, eggs, chicken, meat, leaf greens, as well as fruits too for a complete balanced meal.
