Fruit Days

On the Fruit Days is it okay to use canned or jared fruits if you first rinse all the juice off with cold water in a strainer?

No! They usually contain added sugar to preserve. NEVER get it in syrup. Better in natural juices. But even those with natural juice aren't the best choice for the fruit days - some losses of vitamin C occur during the canning process. We recommend to use fresh fruits for your fruit day.

All the best,

On the fruit day, can I eat dried fruits, like raisins or prunes? (by Marie)


Hi Marie, no dried fruits are allowed on fruit day.

Dried fruit has all the sugar retained while all the water is removed. If you compare it to fresh fruit, it is very high in calories and not useful to lose weight.

A cup of raisins contains the same calorie content as a pound (16 ounces) of grapes.
1 cup raisins contains 500 calories while
1 cup grapes contains only 70 calories – what a difference!.
So even after the cabbage soup diet, dried fruits should only be consumed in small quantities.

Another thing you should consider is, that the fiber in dried fruit is less successful in satisfying your hunger.
All the best!
