Fruit and Vegetable diet - too much weight loss?!
Question: I recently found an article about eating primarely fruits and vegetables to obtain optimal health and weight loss. I started this about three days ago and have been eating as close to 9 servings of both fruit and vegetables as I can with some meat and non fat dairy. I also started working out about a week ago. I do 30-60 min of cardio and some mild weight training.
I've lost 10LBS in the last week.
I've gotten on and off the health wagon multiple times in the last few years, and have NEVER experienced this type of weight loss at the start of a program. I don't fad diet, I just keep my calory consumption under 1500 and work out. This is the first time I've made a concious effort to increase my vegies and fruits though. But I've never seen weight loss within the first month even. Is this normal? Is there something I should be concerned about? Why would I lose weight so quickly this time and not the others?
I appreciate any information that can be provided on this.

Make sure you are getting enough grains too, but other than that, it sounds healthy! Good job!
It's ok. That is a VERY good plan you're on right now!!! That, combined with the fact that most people see the most dramatic weight loss in the first few weeks, is the reason for losing 10 lbs. As long as you're still getting enough meat, dairy, and whole grains, you're doing great. Good for you and keep it up!
Hello.
My opinion is that is pretty dangerous and unhealthy to actually live only on fruits and vegetables.
It's healthy to combine more vegetables and fruits to your diet but to rely only them !
You'll be missing many vitamins and I think that your weight loss won't be so health because your are practicing pretty hard and barely get protein.
I've heard about soy to but that's not enough you have to have some sea fruits like fish for example ! fish contains high amount of protein and other things that I think that won't necessarily be in vegetables and fruits.
Furthermore I think that consuming only 1500 is very low calorie rate and you have to eat a little more.
Please go counsel a professional and Dr.
Hope I've helped you and take care.
This seems good just add some legumes and it great.
