ABOUT THE
DIET
Back To Top
The grapefruit diet is about as simple as it sounds. It has been
established that grapefruits have fat burning ability and the diet
incorporates grapefruit supplementation to achieve losses in
weight. Although it is not as short as some diets, it is also not
incredibly long either (between seven to 21 days). The diet
restricts overall caloric intake to around 1,000 a day.
DIET
GUIDELINES
Back To Top
Drinks:
The diet recommends drinking high quantities of coffee with no
sugar or milk. Coffee is a diuretic and
added consumption will likely result in losses of water weight.
EXERCISE
DURING THE DIET
Back To Top
Due to the severe restriction of calories, exercise during the
diet would not be recommended. Exercise should only be performed
when energy levels are high, and this diet does not allow for
enough overall calories to guarantee that.
ADVANTAGES
OF THE DIET
Back To Top
This diet is incredibly easy to follow and due to the limited
number of overall calories you will be consuming, you are sure to
lose some weight.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE
DIET
Back To Top
As with all other diets which restrict overall calories to such a
low quantity, the weight you lose will likely be regained back over
time. The diet is also lacking in essential vitamins & minerals and as a result you may
feel dizziness or low energy levels throughout the diet.
CONCLUSION
Back To Top
Although grapefruit is a healthy fruit and many believe it has
miraculous fat burning properties, none of these claims have been
proven scientifically. You will lose weight on this diet, but it
has less to do with any magic in the grapefruit and everything to
do with the severe restriction of overall calories. As a result,
this diet is not recommended for anyone seeking long term weight
loss. However, for the short term, it works well if you do not mind
the low energy levels you will experience during the length of the
diet.
