Jay Robb created the Fruit Flush Diet. He claims that long term weight loss is maintained by eating a balanced healthy diet using cleanses with fresh, raw fruit. The book has 48 pages and provides information for a 3-day cleansing diet based on fresh, raw fruit and protein powder.
The Basics of the Fruit Flush Diet
Fruit forms the foundation of the diet and it's fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and low-glycemic index carbohydrates helps improve liver function, and increases energy levels.
Day 1
Protein drinks are taken five times a day, at two-hour intervals.
Dinner consists of a large, raw vegetable salad with lean protein and olive oil.
Day 2 and Day 3
Contains fresh fruit instead of protein drinks.
Dinner is a protein drink and a large, raw vegetable salad with olive oil.
Recommended Foods
Recommended foods are: lemons or limes, fresh fruits, raw salad vegetables, avocado, olive oil, chicken, fish, and turkey.
Sample Diet Plan

Exercise Recommendations
Robb recommends dieters do not do cardio and weight training exercises during the plan.
Pros
- Increases motivation to stay with a longer-term weight loss plan
- Helps to reset the appetite in favor of healthier foods
- People enjoy eating fruit
Cons
- May be difficult for dieters with blood glucose imbalances
- Hunger and fatigue can be a problem
- May interfere with ability to carry out normal daily activities
Conclusions
Robb claims dieters will lose 9 pounds in 3 days. It is not physically possible to lose this amount of fat in such a short time, so most of the weight loss is going to be water. However, this plan is safer than many other detox plans, and will boost motivation and energy.
