The Fruit Flush is a 3-day detox diet that was created by nutritionist Jay Robb. According to Robb the specific combination of fruits and other natural products outlined in the diet naturally flush out toxins and their associated access pounds. The foods outlined in the diet have high water content, fiber, and natural plant-based medicines that naturally cleanse the body.
What makes this detox plan different from other fruit diets is that it includes lean protein consumed in protein drinks to maintain the body’s muscle and help burn fat.
"When you eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean protein for 36 hours, you go into a fat-burning mode which preserves your muscle mass," says Robb in his book Fruit Flush 3 Day Detox.
Advocates of the diet further claim its benefits include dissolving toxins; boosting energy levels, removing toxic build-up in the liver, intestines and kidneys.
*It is important to ensure that protein powder chosen is free of any sugars, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavorings or colorings. Also water can be consumed in unlimited portions.
