The Grapefruit Diet Plan

Fad Diets - Review 

For those seeking a grapefruit diet plan that's logical, we've attached The Diet Bites' Grapefruit Plan menus at the end of this article.

For information and reading purposes only.  Diet Bites does NOT recommend the Grapefruit Diet Plan due to its potentially harmful health risk.  And have you ever known anyone who achieved LONG-TERM success on this diet? We haven't.  

This fad promises a loss of 10 pounds in a dozen days without starvation.  Isn't that nice?  It also allows 3 meals per day with a bedtime snack.  Isn't that nice?

And supposedly, the juice of the grapefruit enhances the fat burning process.  So does exercise, which by the way, is part of The Grapefruit Diet Plan.  Hum.

Let's not forget about that oh-so-important beta-carotene found in the exotic pink grapefruit which helps to reduce the cholesterol level and build a healthy heart.  Too bad that any heart benefits are squashed due to low calorie food consumption, as well as bingeing on unhealthy meats for lunch.  Note: Meats are a healthy part of a balanced diet when eaten in MODERATION.

The Grapefruit Diet is intended as a jumpstart for the dieter.  We are still trying to determine if that is a jumpstart to a pre-mature heart condition OR a jumpstart to an unsuccessful diet.  Again, we have never met anyone who achieved LONG-TERM success using this potentially harmful diet plan.  

The Grapefruit Diet Menu

Whenever 'grapefruit' is mentioned below, the dieter has the choice of eating 1/2 a grapefruit or drinking 8 ounces of unsweetened grapefruit juice.

Breakfast:   grapefruit + 2 eggs prepared any way you choose + 2 slices of bacon

Lunch: grapefruit + salad with the dressing of your choice + all the meat you want

Dinner:  grapefruit + salad with the dressing of your choice OR a red or green veggie prepared with butter/spices + meat or fish + 1 cup of coffee or tea

Bedtime Snack: 1 cup of skimmed milk 

Unless you go totally a-i-p at lunch and clean the local butcher out of business, the diet is ultra low in calories - actually, insufficiently so for daily nutrition. Our advice?  Skip those citrus mouth ulcers and stick with common sense - a diet packed with nutrition.  And if you're hip on going on a Grapefruit Diet, we've attached the Diet Bites' 3 Day Grapefruit Diet below that embraces healthy meals and yes, food.
