You probably have some questions.
Well, we've got answers...
Why a fruit cleanse?
The Fruit Cleanse is a boost into a whole new you. You’re establishing habits that will address the root cause of major diseases: microbiome and gut dysbiosis. These diseases include obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders. Further, emerging research suggests that a balanced gut microbiome may improve mental health and happiness.
The benefits of The Fruit Clease stem from what you’re not eating, just as much as what you are eating. Get ready to reduce inflammation, optimize nutrient absorption, gain energy, strengthen immune function, and feel confident in your body!
How much fruit?
There is no limit. Eat fruit when you’re hungry until satisfied—any time of day. Eat as often as you’d like. Fruit is self-limiting because it’s high in water content and fiber. Overeating is not a concern; go big! Learn more.
Isn’t fruit too high in sugar?
No. The sugars in whole fruits come in a package containing fiber, water, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. These sugars are metabolized differently than refined sugars.
Will fruit spike my blood sugar and insulin levels?
No. Consuming fruit while on a high-fat diet will spike your blood sugar and insulin levels. The Fruit Cleanse is a low-fat approach, so you’ll be reversing insulin resistance, which is the root cause of elevated blood sugar and insulin levels. Learn more.
Frozen fruit?
Yes, it fits into rule #1.
Can I eat dried fruit?
No. Dried fruit will slow down your bowel
transit time.

What about smoothies?
Yes, it fits into rule #1.
What if I can't eat enough fruit to maintain my weight?
Focus on fruits with the highest calorie density, including fresh dates. Smoothies will help you consume more calories; feel free to consume several smoothies daily. Eat more frequently.
Will I lose muscle mass and strength?
No. It’s just 30 days. Rule #3 is essential; enjoy your life. Keep doing your workouts.
Can I consume green juice?
No, read rule #1 again. Greens are not fruit. Additionally, juicing greens removes fiber. We’re focusing on whole foods with fiber intact.
What about eating a salad with greens and sprouts?
No. You’ll bring those foods back after the challenge. Why? For simplicity. This is The Fruit Cleanse. It’s clear. It’s simple. It’s effective.
What about sea vegetables?
Please read rule #1 again.
Will I get enough protein?
It’s a 30-day cleanse. You’ll be fine.
You don’t know anybody with a protein deficiency. Seriously. Whole fruits contain ~6% of calories from protein.
Additionally, your body has mechanisms to recycle and utilize amino acids efficiently, ensuring a continuous supply for protein synthesis and other metabolic processes.
Will I get enough fat?
In general, you don’t see people walking around with too little fat on their body. Fruit contains ~5% of calories from fat. You will not run into a fat deficiency during The Fruit Cleanse.
Is this going to be too hard?
No. You got this! Dr. Goldhammer supports people through 40-day water-only fasts with no food! During The Fruit Cleanse, you’ll eat Nature’s finest foods, gain boundless energy, and have loads of fun!
When should I start?
Tomorrow. No matter what time you signed up, your first meal is tomorrow. No excuses. Let’s go!
What do I eat when the cleanse is over?
During the cleanse, we recommend you read the book Fiber Fueled. You’ll gain an understanding of what is happening to your gut microbiome and prepare you for eating after the cleanse. Learn more.
