The Grapefruit Diet

Introduction
A 21-day so-called 'diet' of grapefruits, a little protein and not much else.
Despite many ludicrous claims, grapefruit (like cabbage) does not possess any 'fat-burning' properties. 

What you eat

Typical breakfast
Half a grapefruit & black coffee.
Typical lunch
Half a grapefruit, 1 egg, some salad, a piece of toast & tea or coffee w/o milk
Typical dinner
Half a grapefruit, 2 eggs, half a head of lettuce with tomato, & tea or coffee (no milk).

Advantages
Grapefruit is fat free, low in calories and full of vitamin C. Pink grapefruits also contain some beta-carotene. However, eating a few grapefruits hardly justifies calling it a 'diet'.

Drawbacks
Lacking sufficient iron, calcium, and many vitamins, this 'diet' is unhealthy as well as monotonous. Also, it contains far too few calories. Needless to say, it doesn't help you to change your eating habits which is the No 1 secret of permanent weight loss.

Verdict
Avoid.
