Ladies, have you ever eaten only fruit for one whole day? Or maybe a few days? Women are increasingly subjected to this diet, hoping to shed kilos instantly. Their reason is clear – fruit has a low-calorie value, small amounts of carbohydrates and does not contain fat, so it will help them get into shape. However, there are many problems with this mindset. First of all, fruit has a lot of sugar and its excessive consumption can lead to a completely opposite effect, i.e. to weight gain. Secondly, as it is rich in fibers, fruit leads to bloating, so during this diet, women can expect their stomach to appear larger. Moreover, serious consequences can arise if a fruit diet lasts more than three days, such as fatigue, anemia, osteoporosis and a suppressed immune system.
Although fruit dieting is not recommended, more and more nutritionists recommend something called “Fruit Day” once a month as an ideal detox program. This regime includes drinking 3 liters of water and eating only fruit within 24 hours, after which you continue to eat normally the rest of the month. In this way, the body and bowels are cleansed of animal and processed products and a great number of vitamins are taken in. Maria, having read about the benefits of “Fruit Day“, decided to try this miraculous treatment with Marko!
