Honest opinion! How much weight do you think I can lose if I only eat fruits and vegetables for a month?

[Anonymous]

It's definitely not a permanent thing that I'll be doing but just as a short diet I wanna eat only fruits and veggies for almost a month and a half. I'm probably doing this until the 1st or 4th of June, maybe until the 11th but I'm not sure yet. I'l be drinking plenty of water and green tea and doing some exercises here and there too. How much do you think I can lose in this amount of time?

So would you say anything slightly over or around 1000 calories is too little? Should I eat more?

You could lose between 10 and 20 pounds, depending on amount of physical activity, however it will be mostly muscle loss as fat is stored in these cases by the brain thinking the body is starving, as a survival mechanism. I'd eat fewer calories in a well balanced meal. If you do a vegetarian or vegan diet consider eating more protein, to stave off muscle cannibalism that your body will use first to feed itself.

depends on what kind of fruits and veggies you are eating but 3000 calories of anything is still 3000

I was thinking I only eat them when I'm hungry. I did this last week for a day and I was alright and I definitely wasn't anywhere near 3000 calories, not even 2000.

a normal daily caloric intake of a women should be around 2000 calories so if you just eat less then that you will lose weight start with 1700 and move you're way down but don't drop below 1200 or it will have the opposite effect

Thanks!

Depends on how much you eat.. if you eat a lot you'll probably lose a lot but you need to watch protein, vitamin, carb, fat, and all that intake or else you'll piss your body off and put it into starvation mode. You'll probably bounce right back or weigh more after if you go back to your normal lifestyle

Why not try Raw till 4 for 30 days? It's a style of eating that only includes plants (vegan) with an emphasis on raw foods. Definitely eat more than 1000 calories though, you definitely won't hit your RDAs eating that little.

Not a bad idea, thanks!

That's not healthy. You will gain any weight you lose back due to your body hoarding food from starving. Eating grain's is OK. Oatmeal, potatoes, sprouted wheat. Just eat healthy, no need for drastic yo-yo dieting which will only make you miserable and continue doing that forever.
