Does the grapefruit diet really work? How to eat grapefruit to lose weight

Is the grapefruit diet really effective? I believe many female friends are particularly concerned about this issue. Let me introduce it to you.

Does the grapefruit diet really work?

Grapefruit weight loss menu

If you follow this diet, you can lose 52 pounds in two and a half months (about 75 days). This diet is for patients in the hospital who have heart problems and need to lose weight quickly to undergo heart bypass surgery. (It's very healthy, right? Even heart patients can eat it, and there's no need to worry about the effects on the body.)

This diet should be taken for 12 consecutive days, then stop for 2 days. If necessary, repeat the diet for another 12 days, then stop for 2 days, and so on. (One stage lasts less than 2 weeks, which is suitable for people like me who don’t have perseverance)

Except for grapefruit, you can eat as much as you want at lunch and dinner until you are full. (At least you don't have to starve yourself. Thumbs up)

Breakfast: Half a grapefruit (can be juiced) sugar-free

Two eggs, any boiled method is fine

Two slices of bacon

Lunch: Half a grapefruit (can be juiced) sugar-free

Salad (any sauce)

Meat (any cooking method is acceptable)

Dinner: Half a grapefruit (can be juiced) sugar-free

Meat (any cooking method is fine) Fish is preferred

Choose one of the following:

1. Green or red vegetables (can be seasoned with any seasoning, butter is also OK)

2. Salad (any sauce)

If necessary, you can only drink one cup of decaffeinated coffee or weak tea with each meal

Snack: A glass of tomato juice or skim milk (I feel better after having this afternoon tea, otherwise it would be depressing to watch others eat)

Notes on the grapefruit diet

1. Do not remove any food from the menu, especially bacon and salad. (I like this the most, you can eat meat without worry, haha) Therefore, the menu is to use the above foods to mix and produce chemical principles to burn fat. Grapefruit is very important because it is the trigger of this menu and it leads the whole burning process, so it is indispensable.

2. Reduce the amount of coffee, because it affects insulin and slows down the entire combustion process. (I don’t drink much coffee, so it’s not a big problem)

3. Do not take any other food or drink (except water) except the above menu. If you follow the above eating method, you should not feel hungry.

4. Do not eat desserts or bread.

Vegetables do not include: white vegetables, sweet potatoes, potatoes, white onions and celery.

Includes: red peppers, carrots, onions (red or green), tomatoes, broccoli,

Radish, cucumber, zucchini, cabbage, lettuce, spinach.

Postscript: You can eat any meat, salad or vegetables you like, and you can cook them with butter, but you must completely reduce sugar and starch, which are foods that produce fat.

The most important thing is the effect.

Grapefruit can help you lose weight

Results: The above diet can help you lose 10 pounds in 10 days. Under normal circumstances, you will not lose any weight on the first day, but you will lose 5 pounds after the fifth day, and then lose half a pound every two days, and so on. Continue the diet until you reach the desired weight. (We usually follow the diet for 12 days)

This treatment and menu is divided into two phases. In the first phase, you can lose eight to thirteen pounds in two weeks. If you cannot lose eight pounds, you can extend the time. In this phase, you cannot eat any starchy foods, fruits, or any alcoholic beverages. You cannot eat cereals (wheat products, such as oatmeal, etc.) for breakfast. You can only eat eggs and lean meat. You can eat any vegetables (but not potatoes). You cannot eat any desserts such as ice cream. After losing eight to thirteen pounds, you can enter the second phase.

During this stage, you cannot eat white starchy foods such as white rice, but you can eat brown rice and brown bread, you can eat fruits (except bananas and watermelons), and you can drink red and white wine, but not everyone can do this. Some people need to spend a month to do the second stage to lose an extra eight pounds.
