There are different feelings and stories about the Grapefruit Diet. Some may think that it is highly beneficial, while others may think that  the diet is nothing more than a myth.

Here, we've provided you with some information on grapefruit. You will be the one who will decide for yourself whether the Grapefruit Diet is right for you.

Grapefruit Diet or Grapefruit Juice Diet revolves around eating half a grapefruit or drinking an 8-ozs glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice before each meal. Coffee and tea are also permitted.

The things you may have during this diet are:
Red onions, bell peppers, radishes, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, green onions, leaf spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, chili (no beans), mayonnaise, any cheese, hot dogs, coleslaws, regular salad dressing, green vegetables, 1 tsp dried nuts and butter pickles.

The things you may not have during this diet are:
White onions, potatoes, celery, peas, cereal, corn, starchy vegetables, potato chips, peanut butter, pasta, corn chips, jelly or jam, sweet pickles, pretzels, fruit and low-fat/fat free/diet salad dressings.

The diet assures a loss of 10 pounds in 12 days with no hunger. Furthermore, it permits 3 meals per day with a bedtime snack. It is only intended as a jumpstart for the dieter.

CAUTION: The Grapefruit Diet Plan allows no more than 800 calories a day. Therefore, it is a very strict diet plan for instant weight loss, BUT NOT a healthy diet. Your body is going to miss out some important nutrients not included in the diet. A balanced diet should consist of  4 food groups. With the grapefruit juice diet plan, it is cutting out a couple of the food groups.
