WHEN? Begin Wednesday, 7/5/06 or anytime you can get your apple supplies.

WHERE? Wherever you are, as long as you can get a hold of APPLES!

HOW? Eat unlimited amount of apples, doesn't matter what kind/color/size/organic/with or without skin. Just apples and water for 3 full days. By the end of the 3rd evening, drink 2 TBSP of olive oil.

WHY? Cayce Detox - cleanse intestines, kidney, skin, etc.

RESULT? Please see my weightloss dairy below. I've done it 3 times in 2 months.

If you're at a plateau or want to jump start your weightloss journey, you might consider this an option. It has helped me a lot!

I'm in.

But I thought everyone said - no skin.

Just need some clarification on that.

Are we checking in here daily?

Hi. i sure wouldn't mind doing anything to help me lose weight faster. i was just unsure about how many apples. i know i can eat only apples for three days but unlimited scares me. i guess i'm just nervous eating fruit because its sugar even though i know in my mind that it is very healthy. So what would be the minimum apples we would need to eat in a day?

While i obviously don't know anything about this apple detox - i know my dietician always preferred that her patients ate the skin because of the fiber content. Don't know if that has anything to do with this detox process.

Thanks

I'm in!!!!!!!!!

Hi to all! From the book that I have, it said to peel the skin because you'll be eating nothing but apples for 3 days, your stomach might not be able to withhold all the acid. I don't think it has to do with fiber.

It's actually impossible for me to eat more than 5 apples a day! Apples are very low in sugar, and is one of the best fruit to eat during diet.

Great, are we checking here daily after we start?
also how many times can you do this in a month?

[sexygrandma]

i'm in and going to get my apples tomorrow. I need a good cleansing to jump start my diet. Good luck to all!!!!

[jaspernotting]

I planned to start on Friday... but my nephew is getting married on Saturday, gosh... So I will try to start on Thursday instead. If I'll to just try a 2 day (that is on Thursday & Friday) and 1 day break (Saturday) followed by another 1 day (Sunday) will this work?

Sorry if I confuse you, Shirley!

[cndygrl80]

I would like to join you guys! I think I will have to start Thursday though! Thanks for bringing this up. It's been a while since I did a detox/cleanse. This should be nice.

[jaspernotting]

I've just got 6 huge Fuji apples (my favourite) and a bottle of olive oil. Starting tomorrow... wish me luck!

Hey everyone! Hopefully it's not too late to join in. This sounds like a good jump start to get out of the rut i've been stuck in. I was doing really good, but have been stuck for the past few weeks. I've already had breakfast today, so I'm gonna start on Thursday.

Two quick questions- How nasty does it taste to drink straight olive oil?

And Shirleysyu- After your other apple detox, did you regain the weight right after it was over and you resumed your normal eating? I eat pretty healthy, but I don't wanna detox on apples and then go back to normal eating and gain the weight right back.

Thanks for the any answers. Good luck everyone! And don't forget to come back here and update us each day!

count me in too!! just to get off to a good start, im sure that instead of the olive oil you can substitute this for a large glass of hot water with a tablespoon of suger in, as this is similar concept to the shanri-la diet where the body requires calories rather then the taste of the food, a tablespoon of sugar is roughly 400 calories, and drinking sugared water again tricks the mind into thinking that it has taken on excess calories therefore you should nt have a sweet craving they say not to eat anything an hour before the drink, and drink the water over a period of an hour so you need a two hour gap, dont know if it works, but scientifically should do all the best but i will give it a whirl let you know how i get on,

[shirleysyu]

Hello to all! Glad you've decided to give this a try. I've lost quite a few tough pounds on this apple thing and kept it off so far. Hopefully it will do the same for all of you!

Bulimic - this detox calls for unlimited # of apples for 3 days. Don't worry, you won't be eating that many anyway! You'll be stuffed before you know it! It's preferred that your take the skin off due to indigestion. You'll be having nothing but apples, so try to avoid skin to make it easier on your stomach.

Tony - Yes, this is where our support group is. Feel free to use us! On my detox book, it didn't say how many times a month you can try, but it did say not to exceed 3 days each round that you do. I was so sick of apples after my first round, I didn't start again until 6 wks later. Just listen to your body! If you don't feel well, stop the process!

jaspernotting - don't forget to update us on your first day!

reallyhopethisworks - Haha...sugar water does sound much better than olive oil. However, I know that the olive oil is what's needed to draw toxics out of our system at the end. I don't know if sugar water will do the same thing...

JenniferInGA - after the 3 days detox, I did not overeat. I stayed within my 1200 cal/day, plus, your stomach somewhat shrunk after the 3 days so you won't be able to eat that much even if you want to. That's the good news!

Candygirl - The way I figure, a detox is good for my body anyway, it's worth a try!
