If you eat the regular SAD diet (Standard American Diet), chances are that if you suddenly switch to eating a diet of all fruit, you may experience detox effects that can become quite rough on a body. You may want to start the first week off by cutting out all processed foods, meat, dairy, grains and bad fats - eating about 45% (of total daily calories) raw and cooked veggies; 45% fruits; and then 10% good fats. Then you can work towards eating a diet meant for us to consume, by nature: a frugivore diet - 80% fruits, 5 - 10% greens, and 5 - 10% good fats - all raw.

Eating this way will help your body to balance itself out, health-wise, weight-wise, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. You can do it for a few weeks, months or the rest of your life! I know of people who do this diet for a while, until they feel amazing effects and then they do it again every change of season - 4X/year. Totally up to the individual and what works best for them.

An all fruit diet is very challenging and one must prepare for it by transitioning slowly into it. (Unless you have a major health issue, then go full force!) I know someone who lived off of organic oranges for 6 months! He said that it was so amazing beyond words what he exerienced, but you become very aware of your spiritual side and cannot keep grounded. If you eat only fruit, without any prep time, you might just want to do it for a day or 2, every week or every other week. Listen to your body, it will tell you what it needs!

    The vertical leg crunch is another effective move for the rectus abdominis and the obliques. It's similar to a regular crunch, but your legs are straight up, forcing you to use your abs to do all the work and adding intensity to the exercise.

    80% of weight loss is diet.
    You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
    You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
    You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
    A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
    You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
    Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
    First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
    Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
    Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
    Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
    Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
    Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
    This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
    I know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
    Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
    Last, you have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the toxins it contains.
    You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.
    Luck.
