Grapefruit Diet, Does It Work?

Grapefruit Diet, Does It Work?: "The grapefruit diet has been around for many years. There have never been any claims that the diet doesn’t work. One of the versions of the diet includes a weight loss of 10 pounds in 12 days. The diet promotes a quick weight loss solution. It is important to remember that the grapefruit diet doesn’t necessarily help people lose fat but it causes them to lose fluids. So, when people lose their desired weight from this diet, the weight usually comes back. This diet is not considered a healthy diet for long term purposes and is best when you need to quickly shed a few pounds to fit in your favorite pair of jeans.

When you are on this diet, you really aren’t eating only grapefruit. A typical breakfast can consist of two eggs, two slices of bacon, coffee, and ½ grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice. Your lunch will consist of a salad with dressing, meat, and ½ grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice. Dinner will be the same. You are not cutting down on your foods. You are just adding a glass of grapefruit juice or ½ of a grapefruit to each meal. As you can see, on a normal diet you wouldn’t be eating bacon for breakfast."
