Grapefruit
diet
This is the Famous Grapefruit diet plan, If you
follow it correctly you can lose 12-20 Lbs. Remember to keep the weight off you
must continue some sort of healthy diet plan.
Instructions:
Drink water or diet soda or any diet drink without
sugar (only diet sugar).
You can switch the diet food around any way you
wish or replace the foods you see for another with the same caloric value...
this is a calorie diet.. as long as you eat the same amount of calories in any
type of food you will lose weight.
You can add the following to your food: dry or
natural herbs, salt, pepper, diet sugar, lemon, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy
sauce, mustard, ketchup .
How
Many Calories: Less than 800 per day.
Why
women love it: It's a no-brainer -- you needn't count calories or
make major food decisions. The monotony may even numb your appetite. And because
the calorie cutback is so severe, initial weight loss can be dramatic -- from
three to six pounds for a moderately overweight woman to 12 pounds for an obese
woman.
Pluses:
Grapefruit has no fat, is low in calories and sodium, and is packed with vitamin
C; the pink variety contributes beta-carotene as well. And because grapefruit is
high in water and fiber, it can help fill you up.
Pitfalls:
"Any diet based on one food is much too restrictive to be healthy,"
says Sheldon Margen, M.D., professor emeritus of public health nutrition at the
University of California, Berkeley. You miss out on calcium, vital to bone
strength; iron, which wards off anemia; folic acid, which can protect against
heart disease; and most vitamins
