Fruit only diet....thoughts?

Very stupid!
If your 5th meal is about 4pm, it means you will have had no protein for 2/3's of a day - watch your muscles disappear.
Plus, all that fructose will give you no energy in the gym, as the fructose will be stored (and converted into fat) in your liver.
If your going to eat fruit while cutting, keep it to minimum, and choose low calorie fruit such as strawberries

Fructose (fruit sugar) is SUGAR.
It is not as good at having insulin release, so it has to be stored in the liver.
Liver gets full of glycogen from the sugar in fruit, it will get stored as fat.
Great way to waste your muscle away.
Where are you lads coming up with these diets?

Timeout? No, timeouts are for Plats
I don't recomend it.
I'll drink fruit juice (with whey protein) post workout only, otherwise I consider it equal to candy, and avoid it.

A friend of mine utilises a strong Pumpkin and Cellary diet. I don't fully understand the benefits but he claims that it's essention in post workout.

I don't know any recipes, I'm a pretty basic cooker.
But I just make pumpkin soup - blend say 1-200 grams with some hot water. Then I use this on dressing for brocolli, or other green veggies. It is a pretty low cal and healthy way to make them taste better. I normally add some (natural) garlic sprinkles and salt to it, but that's about it.
Just so you know, GI of pumpkin 75, so its high if this is a concern to you, but the GL is load

For real foods on a cutter, I could see how pumpkin would be great as its high GI and fills you. Potatoes would do the same, but are not quite as filling per calorie.
As for celery, can't answer that one. Presuming there low GI and not great PWO. Of course there good any another time, but I can't think of anything (perhaps except brussel sprouts) that taste worse
