Introduction
- The grapefruit diet combines the consumption of grapefruit with each meal in an effort to promote weight loss. This 12-day alternative diet, which has been around since the 1930s, includes low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, high-protein meals. Most versions of the grapefruit diet promise a 10 pound weight loss.

Step 1: What Is It?
- Experts have said that the grapefruit diet is nothing more than a simple low-calorie eating plan, arguing that the addition of grapefruit has no bearing on additional weight loss. In most versions of the diet, dieters are only allowed to eat between 800-1000 calories each day.
-
Step 2: How Does It Work?
- The idea behind the grapefruit diet is the theory that an enzyme in grapefruit, when combined with protein, triggers fat burning. Other theories claim that grapefruit may lower insulin levels in some people, leading them to feel more full after a meal.
-
Step 3: What You Can Eat
- Grapefruit is the mainstay of this diet. You will eat 1/2 of a grapefruit or drink eight ounces of unsweetened grapefruit juice with each meal. You are also encouraged to drink 64 ounces of water each day. You may also have unlimited amounts of black coffee.
- Other foods you can eat include:
- Eggs
- Meat
- Fish
- Pasta
- Peanut butter
- Corn
- Cereal
- Fruit
- Red or green vegetables
- Milk
-
Conclusion
- The grapefruit diet has been around, in various forms, for several decades. The diet involves eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice with every meal. It is essentially a very low-calorie, low-carbohydrate diet. Some experts say eating as little as 800 calories each day will promote rapid weight loss regardless of the grapefruit.
