The 3-Day Fruit Cleanse Diet, also known as the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox Diet, is a diet program created by Jay Robb, a nutritionist, fitness trainer and entrepreneur. The diet is intended as a detoxification program to remove harmful materials from the body to increase stamina, as well as overall health.
History
Jay Robb started Jay Robb Enterprises, Inc. in 1988, but did not begin marketing the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox until 2005, when he published a book under the same name. Before developing the Fruit Flush diet, Robb worked as a nutritionist and fitness trainer for more than 20 years. In addition to the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox program, Robb also developed the Fruit Flush Extreme 7-Day Detox following the same principles of the original program over a longer period of time.
Significance
Although the Fruit Flush does require the subject to consume fruit, the diet also includes vegetables and protein shakes. Robb claims that his Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox is a unique program because it provides a balance of fruits, vegetables and protein that allow the subject to lose weight while maintaining muscle mass and removing toxins from the body. The Fruit Flush differs from other detoxification diets because most do not contain a source of protein.
Function
The first day, the Fruit Flush diet suggests drinking a protein shake with no sweeteners or artificial colors every two hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On his website, Robb sells a protein powder that can be used with the diet. At 6:00 PM, the diet calls for 3 to 6 cups of salad with only raw vegetables and 3 to 6 ounces of lean chicken with 1 tbsp of raw vegetable salad, 3 to 6 oz of lean chicken and 1 tbsp of olive oil on top. The second and third day, the diet is the same and includes a variety of fruits, including cantaloupe, strawberries, banana, apples and mango eaten throughout the day. At 6:00 PM, the subject should eat 3 to 6 cups of salad made of raw vegetables and half an avocado and drink one protein shake.
Time Frame
The Fruit Flush diet should be used for only three days and is not intended for long-term use. Following the success of the Fruit Flush 3-Day diet, Jay Robb created the Fruit Flush 7-Day diet, which should be followed exactly according to directions rather than extending the Fruit Flush 3-Day diet plan for an entire week.
Warning
Robb advises individuals not to do strenuous exercises such as cardio or weight training while participating in the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox diet. Jay Robb is not a doctor, nor is the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox diet approved by doctors. Individuals should use the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox diet at their own risk. Individuals with health problems or allergies should consult a doctor before using the Fruit Flush diet.
