Grapefruit Diet

This is the complete Grapefruit Diet. You will lose weight fast with this diet so it is extremely important that you consult your doctor before starting it. It is especially important to ask your doctor about using the Grapefruit Diet if you are taking any medication, as grapefruit can interfere with medication.
 

 

The Grapefruit Diet Plan

12 days on - 2 days off

Vegetables Allowed:

Red onions, green onions, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, peas.

Vegetables to Avoid:

White onions, potatoes, celery.


Grapefruit Diet Breakfast Every Day:

1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened)
2 Eggs (any style)
2 Slices Bacon


Grapefruit Diet Lunch Every Day:

1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened)
Meat (any style, any amount)
Salad (any kind of dressing)


Grapefruit Diet Dinner Every Day:

1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened)
Meat (any style, any amount) (fish may be substituted for meat)
Vegetables (any green, yellow, or red vegetables cooked in butter or any seasoning)


Grapefruit Diet Night Time Snack Every Day:

1 glass tomato juice or 1 glass Skim milk

 

Important Instructions and Information:

1. At all meals, eat until you are absolutely full.

2. Do not omit anything from the diet, especially don't skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn fat.

3. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process.

4. Cut down on caffeine- it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup per meal at mealtime.

5. Don't eat between meals. If you eat the combination of food suggested you will not be hungry.

6. Note that the diet completely eliminates sugar and starches, which form fat. Fat doesn't form fat; it helps burn it. You can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables.

7. Do not eat desserts, bread, and white vegetables or sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salad, or vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed. The more you eat of the proper combination of food, the more you lose.

Many medications, particularily for high blood presasure come with a warning not to eat or drink grapefruit products as they can cause a sudden and serious drop in blood pressure.

I did this diet and I lost weight really really really fast so fast that I actually had to stop because it was to much to soon. So be careful because dropping to much weight is bad for your body. Drink tons of water and dont be scared to pile on the dressing. I also recommend taking a vitamin supplement especially one that has calcium! This diet actually does work just be careful!

Lipids are actually fats. That is the definition of "lipid." Straches are starches, and sugar is sugar. Neither are lipids...
