The Grapefruit Diet (aka The Hollywood Diet)
This diet instructs you to eat half a grapefruit at each meal ?and not much else.
The claim: Grapefruit has a special fat-burning enzyme.
Sample lunch: Half a grapefruit, TWO EGGS, two cups of cucumber-and-tomato salad, one piece of dry melba toast, and plain tea or coffee.
Weight-loss wisdom: As demonstrated by this meager 245-calorie lunch, the grapefruit diet lops off weight by restricting your calories, not by providing your body with some special enzyme. While you wouldn't want to follow this diet forever, its foundation is fairly healthful, says Jackson.
Healthful take-away: Grapefruit is full of antioxidants and vitamins? just like other fruits and vegetables. Up your intake by including produce in every meal, as this diet instructs.
Who said this grapefruit/egg diet is not good for health???
It's time to start it again!!!
