 My Grapefruit Diet
Reviewer: Scot 06-22-2004
I decided to go on a grapefruit diet, but discovered I don't like the
taste of fertilizer. |
 eating the grapefruit
Reviewer: Pedro 06-18-2004
I have been eating grapefruits with my breakfast and supper for 3 years now and I see nothing wrong with it. A grapefruit is a nutritous fruit and is very healthy. I'm not much of an exerciser but in the last 3 years I have not really added any weight. In fact I am 4 pounds lighter this year than I was last year at the same time. |
Does the grapefruite diet work?
Reviewer: Seth 05-29-2004
yes! i run ~105 miles/week and eat only grapefruit. during the past
month i've shed 53 pounds of bodyfat, and i also have *no* muscle left due
to the wonderful process of ketosis. the inside of my mouth is full of
canker sores 'cause of all of the acid from the grapefruit.
now, repeat after me..."diets don't work". eat *real* foods such as
veggies, fruit, lean cuts of meat, tofu, etc... and train in a consistent
manner.

 GRAPEFRUIT WARNING!
Reviewer: Laura 03-31-2004
Please be advised that if you are currently taking SELDANE for allergies,
DO NOT GO ON THIS DIET!!! The interaction between this drug and the
consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice could be deadly. You CANNOT
eat grapefruit or drink the juice AT ANY TIME while taking this drug- the
side effects are VERY dangerous and could be fatal.
(I work on a pharmaceutical radio show and this is one issue that has come
up time and time again.) PLease be careful. |
I remember the Grape Fruit diet

Years ago I tried it and it did not work. |
Not worth it!
Reviewer: Ben Green 03-30-2004
The grapefruit diet will cost you much muscle, even if you survive it. Read
a nutrition book! |
My dad is on this diet
Reviewer: Curt 03-30-2004
From what my dad does, he eats 1/2 of a grapefruit in the morning and low
carbs the rest of the day. It works very fast for him. He is in his 70's
and loses weight faster than anyone I know. He does a couple things that I
don't. He eats grapefruit and he chews his food an awful lot. I never saw
anyone lose weight faster than my dad, but he is a yo-yo dieter. He loses
and then starts to binge. Has been a yo-yo for as long as I can remember.
He will eat a whole bag of chips and then down a 1/2 gallon of Bryers
vanilla ice cream at night. Not sure why he does that. He also doesn't get
much exercise. He is a marvel. Not sure if it is the grapefruit or what,
but he does lose faster than anyone I ever met and being 70 I find that even
more amazing. |
 Grapefruits
Reviewer: Cee 03-30-2004
If I liked grapefruits more i would eat them more. There is more to
dieting than just carbs IMHO. I think outside the box and I believe
for some people adding grapefruit is a help in losing weight. |
 It may work
Reviewer: Patty 03-28-2004
The grape
fruit diet uses caffeine from coffee and narnigenin from the grapefruit to
burn fat. Caffeine alone burns fat, but the narnigenin allows it to stay in
the sysytem longer. |
maintaining
Reviewer: Linda 03-28-2004
Now that I'm just maintaining I eat grapefruit fairly often. I go
through lots of Splenda. The two go great together. |
Grapefruit Diet
Reviewer: ahmad 03-27-2004
I have a book on this diet. I have never actually started it. I have only read the book. The book states that you can lose as much as 10 pounds in 10 days and you could even drop as much as 50 pounds in 3 months. |
