The Grapefruit Diet

Basically the grapefruit diet is eat a grapefruit at every meal, and an enzyme is supposed to burn away body fat. This diet has been around for at least 70 years, and different versions of it are popping up all over the net.

The basics of the diet are as follows; consume grapefruit pulp, juice, or capsules, choose from one of many different grapefruit diet programs online or from a book, combine grapefruit diet with a strict low-calorie or other diet of your choice.

The grapefruit diet has been around since the 1930's. There is nobody who claims to have created this diet, but it is still a very popular diet that tends to get around by word of mouth. People interested in this diet may have a difficult time finding a specific plan because there are a lot of different versions of this diet circulating around the Internet. The most common of these diets is basically that the dieters eat grapefruit, drink grapefruit juice, or swallow grapefruit capsules at or before meal time.

The theory is that grapefruit has a special enzyme that burns fat. No one has been able to explain exactly how it is supposed to work, or if it is also true for other citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. Most of the grapefruit diet plans out there require a really strict low calorie or other type diet along with the grapefruit plan. Some even require an intense workout. The grapefruit diet is almost like an add on to any other diet where the only difference is that you eat a grapefruit before every meal.

So if you would like to try out the grapefruit diet, I would just add it to whatever diet you are already using, and see if it offers any more results. Just eat a grapefruit before you eat anything. That's basically it.
