Is a fruit/vegetable and water diet good for you?

So today I started this diet. I drunk about 5 or 6 bottles of water today but all I had today was bowls of fruit. For dinner, I had salmon and pasta. Then for a snack I had an apple. But for the most part I want to focus on drinking more water and eating fruit so is a water and fruit diet actually healthy for you? Plus I want to know some good workouts I can do along with this diet

    Fruits and Vegetables and Weight Loss

    Since fruits and vegetables tend to be low in calories, you may think consuming mostly these foods is the key to losing weight. For effective weight loss, though, your overall caloric intake would still need to decrease. A 2014 article in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" substantiated this train of thinking by noting that increased fruit and vegetable intake has not been shown to lead to weight loss. Focusing on eating mostly these food groups without considering calories is not necessarily going to lead to weight loss. In addition, water is always a great choice as it is a calorie-free beverage, but unless you are substituting it for a high-calorie beverage, it is unlikely to cause any drastic weight changes.
