Grapefruit diet question.

From: Sal_55 on 15 Jun 2008 11:24 I read about something called the Grapefruit diet,where you drink a glass of grapefruit juice before each meal. However in the diet there is a strict list of food menus you have to eat. My finances are streched right now,so is there anyway I can cheat and do the diet,but without following the foods listed? I mean, maybe I can just eliminate all carbs and only eat fats and protein, but without following the exact requirements listed in the diet,like having 2 strips of bacon for breakfast etc etc? Anyone tried the grapefruit juice diet,did it do any good? Thanks and bye.

It is like totally bogus. Been around for many years. Google for reviews.

Lots of people seem to subscribe to the fat- burning idea where one food or nutrient is supposed to be a magic bullet or a cure-all. dkw

What I mean is,has anyone here tried drinking one glass of grapefruit before each meal,for say 2 weeks, and noticed any weight loss? Thanks friends.

Being able to lose some in a short time doesn't really matter. There are so many different ways to lose. What matters is being able to keep it off for years on end. And so any diet that lacks a maintenance mode is a fad diet. Since ASD is a support group with folks who've been around for years, you'll find support for plans that work long term. It's a bad idea to support folks who want to go on crzay fad diets because it points them in the wrong direction. Gain it back and the effort will have been wasted so better to pick a plan that doesn't come with a guarantee that it will all be regained. The problem with all fad diets lacking a maintenance phase is they don't mention that the come with such a guarantee but they really do. Diets without a maintenance phase, diets that have strict menus for anything other than a brief starting phase, diets without long term results. Fad diets all. |
