The Grapefruit Diet
Typically the latest version of this diet means eating 800 calories per day or less, limiting fruit and veg while encouraging eating meat. You must drink 8 glasses of water per day and having lots of caffeine drinks like coffee with no milk or sugar is reccomended. It is said that the high fat, high cholesterol foods combined with the grapefruit are supposed to work together to burn fat. The number of days this diet is followed varies but is usually around 10-21 days, followed by 2 break days and repeated continually if you so wish. You must follow the rules of this diet exactly and not doing so will seriously affect the end result. You can eat as much as you want at meal time and you are encouraged to fill yourself up and you must eat the minimum amount of food at each meal while not eliminating any food from the diet. You are not allowed to eat inbetween meals and eating desserts, bread, pasta, fruit, cereal, potatoes and some veg are strictly prohibited. The meat portions at each meal can be doubled or even tripled and apparently, the more you eat the more weigh you will lose. I will tell you now from a professional point of view that this statement is ridiculous!
My Advice is to forget this diet. Not because grapefruits are bad for you, of course they are not! And one bonus of this diet is that you will be getting ’some’ of your reccomended 5-a-day, But because of the structure of the diet and what you can and cannot eat. 800 calories per day is very low with vitamin, mineral, complex carbohydrates and protein deficiencies, all of which result in you feeling tired and weak and symptoms will show in the form of constipation, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and problems with your immune and nervous system, bones and hair loss. The diet is very boring and monotinus due to the small selection of foods available and the weight loss will be mostly body fluids and water therefore you will gain the weight back upon resuming a normal diet. This diet is also not reccomended if you are on certain medications such as antidepressants or have high blood pressure or high colesterol as grapefruits can have a negative effect on your medication.
