I believe the fruits only have sugar and vitamin C...and yogurt has protein, Vitamin D, lil iron, and other stuff. THen yogurt keeps your digestive system clean and active. Raw vegetble has more that what fruits can have...such as protien, fiber, iron, enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants and other substances that your body needs. Then Drink a lots of water...which helps you to loose weight. So yah if you are trying to loose weight...eat fruit but not too much...which prevents you from loosing weight because you injest more sugar than you really need. Eat alots of raw vegetables...and natural things... and yogurt...and drink WATER WATER WATER!!!!  because water keeps ur body clean and balance from bad nutritions!!! then remember our body is 70% of water..so it needs H2O!!!  =)

It can help.  Generally high fiber foods will keep you fuller longer than low fiber foods.  Oatmeal should keep you satified longer than Captain Crunch, for example.  So if you substitute a higher fiber food for a low fiber food, you should lose weight.  But if you just add fiber in addition to what you regularly eat, you probably won't lose weight.  The addition of fiber should result in a reduction of calories in order to lose weight.

Fruits have natural sugars, and that will actually put weight on over time. \n\nThe quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas.\n\nEat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.\n\nIn moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)\n\nPractice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.\n\nEat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)\n\nGo exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea.\n\nGood luck!!

No not really. Nature intended for us to eat the fruit not just drink the juice. How many oranges are you drinking with a glass of juice. The fruite by itself has the pulp in it which helps regulate the sugar. With out the pulp you are getting a sugar blast.\n\nIf you are seriouse about weight loss then check out these links below.

Yes, you would lose weight, but there are better ways to do it.\n\nFruit is good for you, so I would support a diet high in fruit, but you never want to go to extremes.  A balanced diet is best.  Eat different types of fruit.  Eat whole grains and vegetables.  Apples will give you carbs and fiber, which is good.  You also need balanced proteins, omega fats, vitamins, and minerals.\n\nYou are on the right track with reducing calories, but be sure to get a balanced diet too.  After all, if you can lose weight and be healthy, why not do both?

You can lose weight eating almost anything, so long as you consume fewer calories. Oatmeal may be beneficial because it contains fiber and it has bulk. The fiber and bulk cause you to feel fuller faster, so you eat less. The fiber also might help you expel faster. Finally, your blood glucose levels shoot up slower because the fiber acts as a sort of buffer in your stomach.

Yes and no. Yes to the question of eating alot of veggies and stir fry really does help, as long as you don't end up drowning yourself in other fatty foods and eat these moderately. No to the question of loading up on fruits. Fruits are fattening because they contain natural sugars and carbs and so if you used to have three pears in a day, try cutting down to one and eating alot of veggies instead.

These answers are funny, but to be serious ... I've recently lost 40 pounds with diet and exercise. I'm on a 1200 calorie-a-day diet with Jenny Craig till I reach my goal. To keep it off, I plan to keep these healthy things as a part of my lifestyle - being active and eating the right things. The most encouraging thing I've found is that I don't have to go hungry if I eat the right foods - including veggies and other healthy things. Also I've changed some of my thinking because there's something wrong if I'm rewarding or pampering myself with food all the time. I don't think there's a magic diet pill or quick fix for losing weight and keeping it off - diet and exercise are the way to go.

Bananas can make you gain weight but I think, in general, that this is very false. Fruit is great for you.\nToo much may give you the runs but fruit is very good for your GI tract and helps clean it.\nI went on a fruit diet for 3 weeks and had nothing but fruit.\nI lost a lot of weight but felt great.

Sure you can, but it is not healthy. You can lose weight by eating only candy, but you don't want to. Not only do they have vitamins and minerals you can't find in other foods, they are a very good source of fiber. \n\nSo eat your veggies!

Im vegetarian too, and I eat lots of vegetables like 6 servings a day and 4 servings of fruits. Then I eat 1-1 1/4 servings of nuts. It helps you lose weight, regulate your metabolism, won't get any disease except you need to buy vitamin b12 supplements (found in meat products especially in beef and chicken breasts). Eat peanut butter good source of protein so you won't lose hair or slower skin development.

Eating only one type of food, even "healthy" food, is never good, as you will be missing out on a lot of nutrients and vitamins. You may make yourself sick. While you could lose weight eating only oatmeal, I wouldn't reccomend it.\nIf you want to lose weight, you'll need burn more calories than you consume. This may mean eating less or exercising more, or both. But no matter what be sure to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods.

There can be too much of a good thing.  You should not require any additional supplements other than your daily vitamin - especially if you have a relatively healthy diet. Extra vitamin C/E pills can acually harm you if you take too much.  \n\nYou are better off to concentrate on a healthy diet, and maintain a healthy body weight.  This will ensure you are not consuming too many calories.  Try avoiding deep fried foods or refined carbohydrates such as found in candy, deserts, and especially soft drinks.  Keep bread, rice and pasta to small portions as they contain significant amounts of sugar.\n\nSome foods may promote healthy skin if they contain antioxidants and Omega Fatty Acids.  Antioxidants can prevent inflammation, contribute to proper growth of collagen which supports the skin, and prevent accelerated aging thought to occur when antioxidant levels in the body are low.\n\nFruit is an excellent source of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and vitamin C, which can prevent inflammation and prevent a condition known as oxidative stress.  Berries have the highest antioxidant to sugar ratio and blueberries are top of the list.  This is important because a high sugar content can "cancel out" the effects of the antioxidants. For example orange juice is very high in vitamin C (an antioxidant) and very high in sugar.  So for antioxidants you are better off with berries than you are with sweeter fruits like oranges and  pineapples.  You can still drink OJ or grapfruit juice but limit to a small "shot glass".  Apples are also a good fruit - not too sweet - and a good source of fiber.\n\nOmega fatty acids are good for your skin because they are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties. Salmon is a good source of OFAs, however there are concerns over mercury contamination -especially in salmon grown in fish farms.  So you might want to limit salmon to less than 4 times per month and supplement with walnuts which are another great source of OFAs.\n\nMany people believe that water is good for your skin and overall health, however  you do not need to drink an excessive amount.  In a 2002 American Journal of Physiology review, Heinz Valtin concludes that the average person drinks enough water by drinking only when they are thirsty.  So drink your water but there is no need to guzzle 2 Liters of water per day thats for sure.

um yeah.\n\nUnfortunately, guys this is just a myth.  The myth apparently says that grapefruit contains a fat burning enzyme.  I am yet to see any research proving that.\n\nThe original grapefruit diet, I believe, consisted of restricting your diet to 800 calories per day.  A 1200 calorie diet or less is usually only recommended for very sedentary adults - so 800 calories is just starving yourself unnecessarily.\n\nThe diet recommended eating half a grapefruit before every meal and consuming large quantities of caffeinated drinks.  So given that caffeine can increase your metabolism (the rate at which you burn calories) and that you've only consumed 800 calories for the day - of course, you're going to lose weight, but it wouldn't have been because of the grapefruit.\n\nThis kind of diet, is not only unhealthy but in some circumstances can be dangerous.  Some experts have made the point that the grapefruit juice can interact with the way in which your body absorbs certain drugs.\n\nGrapefruit is although very good for you.  It'd be pretty good though if it could burn fat - then grapefruits would be sold in place of weight loss supplements.\n\nThe idea that certain foods can burn fat more than others is really like suggesting that you only need to eat certain foods to lose weight.  This is essentially not true.  What is necessary is getting realistic about your eating habits and your exercise.\n\nI really hope that this answers your questions.\n\nBe kind to yourself.

Here are some tips:\n\n-Do moderate excercise everyday.\n-Try to avoid junk food\n-Find time to relax\n-Drink lots and lots of water, because this will wash out any toxins and fatty stuff that can accumalate and add weight\n-Do not oversleep; don't be slack and tired. Be as energetic as you can and this will help you lose weight and be positive about yourself\n-Smile as often as you can. Sure, it doesn't really help you lose weight; it just makes you look more nicer, and sometimes slimmer and prettier\n-Instead of 'dieting', eat as many fruits as you can till lunchtime, then eat veggies, bread and meat.\n-When you are seriously hungry, but it's not time for lunch or dinner, eat fruits. I know fruits can be repetitive and boring; but it can really help in cleaning your system, and because it contains high water content, it will reduce the amount of energy you eat, therefore less is converted to fat.

Not really because any weight that you lose while on the juice, you will gain right back once you start eating again.  And likely you'll gain even more weight than you lost.
