GRAPEFRUIT DIET - FOOD COMBINING - CLEANSING DIETS

THE CONCEPT

The Grapefruit Diet is a typical fad diet in that it is based on a feeble fat-burning concept. It is a food combining diet, as it relies on the concumption of certain foods in unison, and only these foods. The diet permits eating large amounts of the required foods, and also provides a minimum amount of everything. The "fat burning qualities" of the grapefruit are the center of this diet.

THE PLAN

The Grapefruit Diet is based on the assumption that grapefruits possess natural fat-burning qualities. By consuming a portion of grapefruit with every meal, you will be losing weight with no physical effort.

The plan calls for users to eat the required meals for a 12 day period, followed by 2 days of normal eating, followed again by another 12 day cycle. People on this diet are supposed to expect weight loss of up to 50 pounds

The weight loss on this diet is caused primarily by the low caloric intake. You are also consuming basically fruits and protein. This can lead to a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body that are essential to a healthy body.
