A sample meal on the grapefruit diet might include:
- Half a grapefruit or 8 ounces 100% grapefruit juice without adding sugar.
- Salad or a red or green vegetable cooked in butter or spices.
- Meat or fish cooked in any manner.
- One cup of coffee or tea without cream or sugar.
Why the grapefruit diet is bad?
Grapefruit can interfere with certain prescription drugs, including statins (cholesterol drugs) and some blood pressure drugs. It increases the effect of these drugs and can cause adverse effects hours before and hours after taking these medications.
How much weight can you lose by eating grapefruit?
The Grapefruit Diet Plan claims dieters can lose up to 10 pounds in 12 days without hunger and while still eating meals at normal times.
