Grape Fruit Diet Part 2

There is no limitation on butter or salad dressing. No in-between snacks and drink 8-10 glasses of water. Only eat the foods recommended in the diet plan. No processed foods, chocolates, pizza, hamburgers or sugary foods.

The grapefruit diet is about 800-1200 calories per day- this is considered very low calorie. For those who have no idea what 800 calories/day mean- one word should describe it- starvation.

The experts say that the diet is so low in calories that one can lose weight without the grape fruit. It has nothing to do with grape fruit. So how does one lose weight? Simple, getting rid of water- which you gain back right away as soon as you get fed up of the diet in 3 days. By the way if you were to eat /drink oranges with this diet instead of grapefruit, you could call it the orange fruit diet and get the same result.

Grapefruit is a very low calorie fruit but has tons of vitamins and fiber. There is nothing magical about grapefruit. The fruit has no sugar and thus your insulin levels will also drop. The majority of individual who have tried this monotonous diet claim that the hunger pangs are severe that one is simply unable to function with daily life activities (now you see why no exercise is recommended).

The experts further claim that grapefruit is like any other citrus fruit and has no special properties. For individuals who are interested in weight loss, grape fruit diet is certainly not the best way. It is a monotonous diet, which is very restrictive and is a prescription for making you whine and gripe all the time.

The weight loss which occurs with grape fruit diet is not healthy, either. The grapefruit is an okay fruit that can be eaten every now and then but certainly is a very poor fruit for weight loss.

Whether you select a pink or green grape fruit really does not make a difference. For those wishing to lose weight, choose a diet that is flexible, has long term success, helps you change your lifestyle and behavior. Moreover, choose a diet plan that allows you to enjoy the process of losing weight. The only thing the grapefruit diet will do for you is to give you hunger pangs and hemorrhoids.

Grape Fruit Diet

The fad to lose weight began some 30-40 years ago. One day, someone in California woke up and thought the nation was getting fat and developed a diet fad. Since that time, thousands of weight loss diets have come and gone. The most common reason why diets have become popular is that the available drugs for weight loss are not safe.

One of the longest surviving diets from the 1970s is the grape fruit diet. The diet has been so long in existence that no one really claims to be the inventor anymore. The effectiveness of the diet is typically spread by word of mouth. The premise of the grape fruit diet is that there is something in this fruit that can help you burn fat and cause weight loss.

In cyberspace, the advocates of this diet claim that one can lose a lot of weight in just a few days by eating grape fruit. Some claim that you can lose 10 pounds in weight in just 12 days. For those who want to lose more weight, there is a waiting period of 2 days before you can restart the cycle again. The role of exercise in the grape fruit diet is a puzzle. Some say exercise, others say do not exercise. Either way you lose weight. Not bad!

The grapefruit diet plan goes as follows:

Breakfast: eggs, bacon, black coffee, grapefruit juice, or half a grapefruit

Lunch: Salad, unlimited lean meat and more grapefruit juice or half a grapefruit

Dinner is more greens, unlimited meat or fish and grapefruit
