is it healthy to go one week eating nothing but fruits and vegetables.?

Question

i'm not fat or anything, but i do eat a lot of unhealthy juke food (mostly fastfoods).
i'm sure that i may look good on the outside, but it may not be good on the inside. i know i may not be perfect.
so i decided that starting from today, and for the next week, i'll eat nothing but fruits and vegetibles.
maybe i'll forget, and continue this trend for even longer.
i just wanted to know if this is a healthy diet.
Like i said, i'm not fat, i'm only 26 (male) years old. i only weight 115lbs. Ii've had the weight of 115lbs since i was only 15 years old.
for what ever reason it is, i don't gain anymore pounds.
If i eat pizza from pizza hut and get full, i'll walk home and i'll be hungry again, and would have lost just 5lbs. ( if i'm going anywhere, i'm walking there).

Answer 1

Vegans do it all the time. Protein can be acheived with Soy or nuts or beans. Try to stay away from breads unless they are whole grain. Also, take a multivitamin. If you are worried about amino acids, there are multi-amino acid pills too (but they are HUGE).

Answer 2

Going on nothing but fruits and vegetables is not healthy.

There's actually a diet especially made of nothing but fruit, and it's unfortunately very unhealthy given the high levels of sugar you consume.

And there are diets obsessed with vegetables and only vegetables, which is also very unhealthy because of the improper nutrition and therefore the scarcity of needed nutritients to which you subject your body.

So no, this is not a healthy decision. It is not healthy to go for a week on a diet like the one you mention.

For example, you wouldn't have any protein content. And protein is crucial for not only your energy, but for your muscle composition. Otherwise, muscles begin to deteriorate. Now, if you don't want to eat big and chunky slices of beef or hamburgers, try salmon, which is an excellent choice of protein and omega-3 acids. Or maybe even tuna, if you happen to like tuna. They are both very low on fats, and are quite sensible with calories, giving you both an immediate boost that you won't believe until you try it.

Answer 3

Absoluetly. Extremely healthy.
Just a few pointers.
1. Raw veggies better than cooked.
2. if Cooked, lightly steamed veggies better than cooked.
3. Dont over eat. Eat to about 80% full.
4. Eat more veggies than fruit. About 2 to 1.
5. Drink lots of water, but not with meals, It dilutes stomach digestive enzymes and necessary HCL acid.
6. Take a digestive enzyme supplement.
7. Organic fruits and veggies better but more expensive.
8. Dont mix fruit with vegetables. Eat fruit with fruit. Eat veggies with veggies.
9. Never eat any melon with anything but melon
The last two ensure food fully digests, because undigested food ferments in the body and is not healthy.

Answer 4

Yes very healthy, it will clean out your body. Wash veggies and fruits real good. Eat a good variety of them! Organic is the way to go if you can. Sounds like you need a lot of protein. How tall are you? 115 lbs isn't very much for a man. Average weight :100lbs for 5feet and 5lbs for every inch after that. (5ft 2" would be 110lbs) You must have a speedy metabolism.

Answer 5

You mean, like a vegetarian?
It may have the result of, um, purging your bowels, but you should suffer no long term harm from it. I would recommend introducing whole grans and protein back into you diet afterward, however.
I don't really understand why you want to restrict your diet initially, when eating full balanced meals and just cutting down on junk would bring you back to eating healthy food, but do what you feel you need to do.

Answer 6

well i think that when u go from eating meat to like nothing but fruits and vegetables it could interfear with your digestive system, but other then that i think its absolutely fine just as long as your getting all the right proteins and vitimins. I've done the same thing many times and i'm still perfectly healthy.

Answer 7

First of all eating alot of fruit means getting alot of sugar in your diet. It is recommended to eat fruit in the morning so your body can use the sugar instead of store it. If you limit yourself to just fruits and vegies you may get burnt out on them and start to hate eating each one, one by one.
Your body needs a little of each of the food groups and not just one or two. Something you may not think about but alot of foods compliment each other and give you nutrients or vitamins you wouldn't get by eating just one of the two items.

Answer 8

eating fruits an vegetibles is always healthy some have lots of sugar but you want weight anyways just dont over do it

Answer 9

NO don't ever do that because that sort of diet doesn't have any proteins in them only carbs and lipids and vitamins. you have to have a mix diet. like eat steaks and chicken and green beans an fish and dairies for calcium and fruits in appropriate proportions. coz if u stay a week on fruits and vegetables ur body would start feeding on the muscles in your body for proteins and thats not right ok. Just don't do it OK.

Answer 10

I dont' think that it's healthy. Infact for your age you weight should be more. It's good to eat fruit and vegetables, but don't over do it.
