FRUIT FLUSH

[mre]

I started yesterday with 4 Jay Rob Egg White shakes, 1 Jay Robb Whey shake every two hours and 2 cups raw vegetable with baked tilapia for dinner.

I was not hungry and was down 5 pounds.

I've been eating a diet of low fat, whole grain, raw vegetables, lower fat cheeses and yogurts prior to this cleanse.

[nisha_mommy2one]

Can anyone suggest which Whey protein they used? I really want to start this tom morning and all I have is (Equate Walmart Brand) When Protein Isolate, it doesn't have any sugar added and pretty much carb free. But I'm not sure about the other No-No ingredients....I don't have the container on hand right now and tried looking on the web to see if they have a site where products are listed but had no success. I was using this PI for eggcream previously, do you think this would be good enough?

Also has anyone tried to add a bit of coffee to the shake? I’m thinking a bit of coffee would give it some flavour and make it more drinkable? Thanks all for the info, I REALLY need to get back on track.

Nisha~ I use Isopure. A site that sells nutritional products should have them ingredients.

MRE~ Way to go!!!!

For example the protein powder I used this morning not JayRobb - was 25 grams but needed 10ounces of water - I doubt that will be a deal breaker - but if my results aren't great, then I'll try his next time.

The version I have also says we can use 1/2 lemon or lime with the flax or olive oil as dressing.

So far so good today!

exactly, that's what I was going by, his e-book which says the drinks are 8 ounces each. I even called customer service and they said each shake should be 8 ounces, not 6.

I doubt it will make a difference if you drink 10 oz and then 7 oz. I know you're wanting to do it from the book, but even if each serving is slightly off from the next, your total with be exactly what was outlined for the day. How are you doing?

I'm doing ok today, I'm on day 2 and the fruit is filling me up pretty good although I have moments...lol. I'm going to have a salad for dinner along with a 12 ounce protein drink and then I'm done for the day. I'll weigh in Friday morning, I want to wait so maybe I'll get a bigger number...

[Hoops]

Denise~ That is wonderful that you called customer service, AND they had answers for you! Definitely let us know your loss on Friday. I don't know how you can avoid the scale like that. I love to weigh myself every morning when I wake up, naked of course. Heck, don't want to add any additional poundage in clothing!

I got the diet from my sister and I am thinking about doing it. My co-worker lost over 200 lbs using Jay Robb's Fruit Flush and the Fat Burning diet. It works if you work it!

[tifferanknee]

I picked up my protein mix tonight, I'll be starting in the morning!

[Tinkerloo]

Day two done succesfully! I had a few cravings due to tom for some chocolate, but since I slept a lot of today it wasn't too tough to deal with them

Looking fwd to seeing how the scale is in the morning - although no disappointment if nothing significant since it's tom (Laura I'm with you - first thing in the mornings, naked, before water or anything!) - I'll let you know!

Well, the fruit flush ended for me yesterday at about 12:00. I just could not eat another bite of fruit and I was hungry. I had tuna salad for lunch and a big omelet for dinner. So, I got right back on my usual plan.

Tinker~ I don't really do these types of things mainly to lose weight. I do these when I need a restart and to get myself in the right frame of mind. I am a slow loser. I've accepted that. I did Atkins' Fat Fast and only lost 3 pounds but I was able to get focused on my plan during those 3 days. Because I am such a slow loser, I don't get on the scale often since that will sabotage me. I am sure I lost something but I doubt it's more than 2 or 3 pounds. I'll weigh myself on Saturday and let you guys know.

I keep hearing that protein shakes are used for gaining weight, how exactly does drinking the protein shakes on day one help to lose the weight?

Thanks! My one seems to be ok...I just started on my first day...feeling great so far, but I do miss my morning coffee

I think those to gain weight are much higher carbs.....the one's many are usuing are very low in carb.

[Hoops]

Nkechi~ That is a great loss for your friend. I have the Fat Burning book now for about a week or so, but I haven't read it because I am currently enjoying Stillman's. Are you going to do the Fat Burning Diet after the Fruit FLush?

Tiff~ Just the low calories is enough to lose weight. Most protein drinks (low carb varieties) are 100 calories, the Isopure I used was 110 for 1 scoop. Did you start today?

Tink~ Sleeping is one way not to give into cravings! Instead of chocolate, you could always have a chocolate protein shake. Even mix it and stick it in the freezer, stirring occasionally until it is icy.

Aunatural~ Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Nisha~ Oh fun! Your first day, and lots of potty break necessary! It is worth it on the scale tomorrow. Best to you!

Moretta~

Thanks! I did start today, I'm just getting ready to have another shake at 2. It's been very easy for me, I haven't had any hunger pains at all! And I'm also excited about having fruit tomorrow! I love fruit and I haven't had it in a while due to LCing, so I'm really excited! About the salad tonight, does it need to be lettuce only?? And then some meat? Or can it have carrots, peppers, and those sorts of things on it? I'm a bit worried about the dressing, I always have ranch with mine! How did that work out with you guys?

[Hoops]

Tiff~If my memory serves me correctly....On the salad, I used romaine lettuce, spinach, red and yellow peppers, peas, broccoli, and chicken. I used a very low fat, low calorie, low carb dressing on mine. Just enough to wet it. I am like you, I love ranch, but I also love bleu cheese dressing (chunky)! There are also those salad spritzers that may be good to use. I am not into vinegar! That is enough to make me gag!

[tifferanknee]

Awesome, thanks Laura! I still have to pick up my fruits today after work, so I'll check out the salad spritzers, that should work, besides, it's only for 3 days! lol

[Tinkerloo]

Ugh - I'm struggling today - falling asleep at my desk! Also wanting my next portion of fruit already -but not due for another hour. I thought I was tired from tom, but wondering if it's not from the flush or a combo. I'm trying to make it through the day, but may wind up going home if I don't perk up soon. I won't give up, but wish I had more energy -

Any ideas from those of you who've done this before ?

- Tink

[tifferanknee]

Hang in there Tinker! Your day will be over soon and you'll be finished! I just finished my last shake for the day, whew, I'm glad for that! The first 3 shakes were okay, not a problem, but I had to guzzle down the last 2! lol Now I'm looking forward to a nice big salad for dinner and then on to the fruit tomorrow!

I'm on the same boat, just one more shake and onto dinner I have all my fruits cut up and ready for tommorow.

yeah, it was a tough day for me today also, I'm glad it's over tomorrow...lol. I don't think I can do this every week like he suggests for 12 weeks. Maybe once a month but that's it.

[tifferanknee]

You guys who are having problems getting through the second and third days, do you just not like fruit that much? What do you think is the biggest problem with it?? The reason I ask, I LOVE fruit, I could munch on it all the time, so I'm just wondering if it's possible for me to get burnt out on it with just eating it for two days. Did you all use the same fruits on both days??

I finished my dinner earlier and I have all of my fruit cut up and ready for tomorrow.

I used a ton of different fruit, I guess I just got hungry for something else, the first day wasn't too bad because I could have some protein in my salad, I guess I miss that. I made it though, I'm going to bed soon and then I'll weigh tomorrow morning and see how much I lost in the last 3 days.

[Tinkerloo]

Same for me - I LOVE fruit too - I had all my favorites - and it wasn't so much that I didn't want to eat fruit, a couple of times I wanted more than I was allowed and a couple of times I wanted something else as well. I missed the protein in my salad the 2 & 3 night too - but the shake was good.

I'm done as well and will let you know how it goes on the scale tomorrow.

Denise I moaned when I read your note - I had forgotten completely about the possibility of doing it every week for 12 weeks!!!! Don't think I could either - at least not from where I stand right now - maybe by next week I'll feel differently.

Have a good night all -
Tink

[tifferanknee]

Okay it's day 2 for me, I'll be ready to eat my fruit in about half an hour. My mind keeps telling me that I can't have it, so it's gonna be a difficult day! lol I'm afraid I'm gonna put on weight instead of losing! I hopped on the scale this morning, because it's an addiction to me, and I was only (yes I said only) down 1.5lbs. I was really hoping to lose more.
Can't wait to see how you girls did! Great job hanging in all 3 days!

[Tinkerloo]

Down another .5 pounds this morning - finished the flush yesterday. So total of 2 lbs lost. Considering I was surprised with tom the night I began, not bad and I suspect that I'll wind up dropping more water as soon over the next couple of days - either way, I'm not disappointed because I lose so slowly. I'm going to go into at least a few days of the JayRobb Fruit Diet to use the fruit and see if I can keep going on it for awhile - but I'm already feeling the desire for other things, so I think it will be just a couple days.

Thanks for all of the support! I'll let you know how the next couple of days go.
Good luck Tiff! Enjoy and savor your fruit! - Tink

[nisha_mommy2one]

Wow I'm amazed down 4 pounds today! And the best part is day wasn't even that bad....getting ready to eat my fruits in a few mins..wondering has anyone kept repeating this diet instead of going into the 14 day Fruit diet? I ask this because day one seems to be nice for the body since it's a pretty much all water diet with the exception of the salad at night.

[DeniseBBW]

wow, I lost 12.2 pounds from the 3 day fruit flush!!! Now I have to figure out what to do to keep it off and lose more.... I suspect a lot of it is water weight because I pretty much stayed in the bathroom for 3 days....lol
