The
grapefruit diet plan has held on for many years, unlike some
other fad diet plans. Let's take a look if this is one of the
best diet plans ever, or just another gimmick.
By
following this plan, you will be limited to 800 calories per
day. This is far too low, and can cause more harm then good.
Grapefruit
Diet Plan includes some of the following steps:
1.
You must eat grapefruit or drink an equivalent amounts of grapefruit
juice with every meal.
2.
You can't eat between the meals.
3.
You can't have any white vegetables, desserts, bread or sweet
potatoes.
4.
You have to eat until you become full.
5.
You gotta drink al least 8-8 oz glasses of fresh water each
day.
Of course,
there are many more restrictions to this plan, but does it actually
work ?
I
already mentioned on the homepage that there was a study back
in 2004, where they claimed people actually lost 10 pounds in
12 days usig the grapefruit diet plan.
Yes,
there are benefits of using this diet, but it gets very boring
and frustrating after a while. Trying to eat half of the grapefruit
with each meal will get old in a hurry. You also have to remember
that you will get mouth sores from the grapefruit acid.
Because
of its interaction, if you are on some kind of medications,
or if you're sick, you should consult with your doctors before
starting a grapefruit diet plan. Research has shown that grapefruit
blocks an enzyme in your intestines, and that can prevent some
medications from working properly.
In
conclusion, grapefruit diet can help you lose weight but you
should be careful with it. It's not proven by any means, and
it can also cause medical problems if you don't consult your
doctors.
