Grapefruit Diet
SummaryThe epitome of a fad diet, though many say it works. DescriptionThe grapefruit diet is really just a set of standard rules you follow for mealtimes. There are some variations in the rules, but they usually look something like this: o Drink 8 8oz (64oz total) glasses of water each day. o When eating a meal, stop when you are full. o Follow the meal-plan (below) exactly, no substitutions and you have to eat everything listed. No snacking o Do the diet for 12 days, then take a break for 2 days. Breakfast: grapefruit ( or 8oz of grapefruit juice) 2 eggs prepared any way you choose 2 slices of bacon Lunch: grapefruit ( or 8oz of grapefruit juice) salad with the dressing of your choice all the meat you want Dinner: grapefruit ( or 8oz of grapefruit juice) salad with the dressing of your choice OR a red or green veggie prepared with butter/spices any meat or fish 1 cup of coffee or tea Bedtime Snack: 1 cup of skimmed milk or tomato juice The grapefruit juice is suppose to be a catalyst that helps burn fat. Coffee hinders fat burning, so you're limited to that 1 cup per day. You can basically eat all the meat and fat you want. Exercise is generally encouraged as well. There are some supplements on the market that leverage the grapefruit diet as part of their gimmick. HistoryIt is believed this diet started in the 1970s. It was so simple, it could be printed on a single sheet of paper and photocopied to share with others. CriticismMany health professionals and organizations have stated they diet is not healthy. Though recent studies seem to have shown it really does work.

| fattynomore | posted 6-Dec-2009 6:12pm Hello all. I "started" the Grapefruit diet on monday (it is now Sunday) and I have lost 5 pounds. Ok so let me explain. I tried really really hard but the no snacking was not working for me. I decided to modify it. I still cut our the carbs and white/yellow veggies. It was basically atkins with grapefruit juice. Before breakfast, lunch and dinner, I drunk 8oz of the juice. Whenever I would snack (on meat or green veggies) i would drink 4 oz. I have also worked out once this week for an hour. I was hungry and bored so i THEN was fed up and was getting off the diet. By saturday (day 6) i had a serving of rice with my meal (about 35 grams of carbs). I got on the scale and was down a pound. Motivated, the next day i had about 60 grams of carbs, i lost 2 pounds. All in all, i have adapted the diet plan to do 5 days no carbs, 2 days light carbs. It jump started my weight loss and i am down :). I will keep you guys posted. Starting tomorrow, back to no carbs. |

| ritac | posted 7-Dec-2009 12:52pm Your welcome dreamer. I admit I was completely motivated until thanksgiving came, and me and my boyfriend have been going out to eat since then, drinking, eating carbs.... now it's december 7th and I have restarted my diet today. So I am trying to remotivate myself and stick to it. Good luck to you dreamer and stay motivated! The longer you stick to the diet the easier it becomes to not have the bad cravings. and to the other ANONYMOUS, stick to green and red veggies, and any meat. Also look at your salad dressings! Alot of them have sugar and carbs. I make my own salad dressing with balsamic vinagarette and olive oil. Right now in my fridge and freezer I have spinach, brocolli, green beans, asparagus, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers (although some sites say no tomatoes n cucumbers, and some sites say you can have tomatoes cucumber im not really sure) green and red peppers, red onions (not white) then i have canned tuna, turkey, chicken, salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, steak (I try to go easy on the beef) grapefruits, grapefruit juice, V8 juice, bacon eggs. When I first started the diet I was cooking my meat anyway I wanted, just like alot of sites said, and eat as much salad as I wanted, but I didnt notice a hhuge difference in weight loss until I decided to start doing research on this diet, and I also came across the atkins diet, and read about low or no carb diets. The atkins diet is almost like the grapefruit diet, except he says to use 1 TBS of butter per serving, and no carb diets say use a vinagarette dressing with no sugar in it, so I stopped eating my favorite salad dressing, started using only 1 TBS of butter, and tried eating more baked meats, but if you want more flavor you can sautee your meats in olive oil or a LITTLE butter. Try sauteeing red peppers, green peppers, and red onions with your meat....ITS GOOD! and filling along with a salad. I only drink coffee for breakfast because alot of sites have said too much coffee raises your insulin levels, and a high blood sugar level can block fat from burning! So try 1 cup of coffee for breakfast only, and lots more water, and I don't drink the milk before bed I drink V8 juice which I love. So when i started doing all this, I started to lose weight faster. I do not have a scale in my home,so am not sure how much I lost, but I can say that the jeans that I was wearing size 18 are too big now. I can wear my size 16's again! and I am sure I will soon be in a 14 in about another month or less. i know I wrote alot but just wanted to say what is working for me at this time. All these website are quite confusing, so I would just keep researching and do what works best for you. Stay away from the sweets and carbs and you will be ok |
| ritac | posted 7-Dec-2009 1:06pm Sorry, when I say 1 cup of coffee for breakfast only, I did not mean for it to look like I only have coffee for breakfast. I meant I only have 1 cup of coffee for per day, and that is at breakfast time. I eat 2 slices of bacon for breakfast, 2 eggs (usually scrambled with 1TBS of butter), and 1/2 a grapefruit, or grapefruit juice. Sometimes I do drink green tea with lemon along with lunch and dinner. This week during breakfast I will not scramble or fry my eggs. I am going to boil a dozen so I can grab 2 boiled eggs for breakfast everyday this week. It's even less fat, and I am a little tired of the fried egg. Sometimes since I work from home, I do a little excercise and crunches, not much because I get bored with it, but I am hoping the little extra excercise will help in the weight loss. Oh, again anonymous, just stick to all green veggies and you can't go wrong really, and I think any meat is fine, but you should not bread or deep fry your meat no matter what! sautee it, bake it, grill it. When I am feeling too lazy to cook, I might throw to tilapia filets in a baking dish, brush with olive oil or butter, then chop up green pepper, red pepper, and red onion, and eat that with a salad. It can get tiresome to have to stand in the kitchen cooking for each and every meal. Plus I throw my bacon on a cookie sheet and place it in the oven on 400 degrees, turning a few times, and it's ready in about 5 minutes or so. Also I have learned that no diet will work if you continue to drink alcohol! Good luck |
| dreamer | posted 7-Dec-2009 1:13pm thanx ritac your info was helpful, i got off my diet againi think i was only on it for like two days but will be starting again soon, im a big junk food person lol thats all i really eat i think the last time i ate reall food was like a month ago otherwise i usually munch on a couple of crackers or chips and im good to go i really have bad eating habbits but i need to change all that i know im not healthy and i was once diabetic i fear that if i keep gaining weight my diabetes will come back again i really hope this diet works, its so hard trying to stick to a diet in my family i am mexican american and my family cooks up a storm on the daily and when there not cooking i have to cook for my bf all he eats is mexican food it would be hard to convince him to go on a diet with me (he is also over weight) but he loves meat so this seems like the perfect diet for him ill try to get him to try it, sorry so long i guees i needed to vent ill post again soon |

| ritac | posted 7-Dec-2009 2:58pm Hey dreamer, no problem! This is what the forum is for, to all help each other with any helpful info. I think the more everyone keeps in touch with the good and the bad of their dieting, the more we can all accomplish these goals. Of course it is up to each and every individual to get thru their own weight loss, but it helps to know others just like you are going thru the same thing. Dreamer, I can relate to how certain cultures eat certain food that is not good for them. I am african amer and live in the south, actually no matter what race you are, if your in the south, and you love food then watch out! lol before I moved here 5 years ago I was in decent shape, but there is good food everywhere here in atl. We have the celebrity chefs, and alot of famous food places that is hard to resist :) I too have a bf that I cook for. At first he didnt help me out very much with this diet. He is in good shape and being a southerner he likes thicker women, so was not very helpful for me when i started November 2nd I think it was. But now he sees how serious I am with it and is trying to not ask for the typical foods. I think your bf is going to have to maybe compromise with you, especially if you are diabetic! I grew up with people in my family who had diabetes and we all ate healthy most of the time. It wasnt until I got out on my own and had kids that i developed bad eating habits, but i want to be healthy and live longer more so than look better. I'm sure it will be hard to stay away from the mexican food, I know how good the food is, but you can try eating some other foods. Or maybe revise your recipes for more healthy ingredients. You can do it. Just take it one day at a time, try not to think of the end result yet, because the end is not here yet, right? I try to take difficult things one day at a time...next thing you know 2 weeks have passed and you've probably lost about 10 lbs! We can keep each other motivated, and you have access to the internet so google search healthy or no carb mexican recipes, I bet you will find something good and inexpensive to make! :) |

| Akela | posted 8-Dec-2009 3:22pm Hey, all. I'm trying this up 'til the holidays... I'm expecting to maybe gain a little back over those couple of days, but if I can lose a few lbs before then and not go too crazy maybe I can keep from gaining 10 lbs. I've been counting calories this year and I've lost a little, but I needed something a bit more structured for a while. I'm on day two and really enjoying it. I haven't been hungry or inclined to snack at all. I feel like I'm eating "too much" but it is nice to have a little break from measuring and weighing my portions. And I'm a cheese freak, so I hope it's true that you can eat as much cheese as you want on this diet... I've heard this diet really works... It seems like it couldn't possibly. But I'm interested to see if it does. Good luck to everyone! |
| Anonymous | posted 9-Dec-2009 10:03am welcome firm-and-fit, and akela! Akela, I never saw any information about eating all the cheese you want. In fact I gave away all the cheese I had in the fridge because I did not see it anywhere on our lists of allowd food. In fact the only dairy I see as allowd is skim milk as a bedtime snack, and possibly cottage cheese. Still not sure of the cottage cheese as there are conflicting info about it |
| Anonymous | posted 9-Dec-2009 2:33pm Anon: I don't know, hon. There's a gazillion different versions of this diet floating around on the 'net. I'm actually a bit confused. I understand about, say, not eating corn (sugar/starch)... But I JUST found a list that corn was on the "Things You May Have" list. Several lists I've found said you can eat "any cheese" and that kind of makes sense as while cheese is calorie dense it's low sugar and virtually zero carb. I'm still trying to have it in moderation, 'cause I've been calorie counting and I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I can have as much cheese as I want and still lose weight, but I am eating it on this diet. We'll see if it works. |
| Akela | posted 9-Dec-2009 2:34pm Oops... The above post was mine. I'm still learning how this thread works. Sorry about that. :) |
| Akela | posted 9-Dec-2009 2:46pm This is one of the first versions I saw and the one I've been using. Going off the diet for the two days every 12 days makes sense to me. 1. It will keep one from getting burnt out and 2. If the diet is running really low calorie for some, the two day break will keep the body from going into starvation mode. And because of that "re-starting" the diet after a break probably keeps it working effectively. (If it works at all.) The Grapefruit Diet: BREAKFAST: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. 2 Eggs any style 2 Slices of bacon Black coffee or tea, no sugar LUNCH: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. Salad and or raw veggies (any dressing, {not low fat or fat free}) Meat (Cooked any way) DINNER: 1/2 grapefruit or 8oz unsweetened juice. Meat (cooked any way) Vegetables (any green or red, may be cooked in butter or Seasoning or a salad as above) Black coffee or tea, no sugar BEDTIME: (opt) 8oz Tomato juice or skim milk INSTRUCTIONS: 1. At any meal you may eat until you are full, and you can not eat anymore. You must eat the minimum listed listed at each meal. 2. Do not eliminate anything from the diet, especially don't skip the bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn the fat. 3. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. 4. Cut down on coffee, it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to one cup each meal. 5. Don't eat between meals, if you eat the combination of food suggested, you will not get hungry. 6. The diet may eliminate sugars and starches. Fat does not form fat, it helps burn it, so you can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables. 7. Do not eat desserts, breads and white vegetables of sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salads or vegetables. Eat till you are stuffed. The more you eat the more weight you will lose. 8. There may be no weight loss in the first 4 days, but you may lose 5 pounds on the 5th day. You may lose 1 and 1/2 pounds every two days until you reach your goal. 9. DRINK EIGHT 8oz GLASSES OF WATER EVERY DAY. 1/2 GALLON. ALL SOFT DRINKS NEED TO BE DIET AND CAFFEINE FREE. YOU MAY NOT HAVE: White onions, potatoes, celery, peas, cereal, carrots, corn, starchy vegetables, bread, noodles, rice, potato chips, pretzels or fruit or diet dressing. YOU MAY HAVE: Red onions, bell peppers, radishes, broccoli, cucumbers, green onions, leaf spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, chili (no beans) mayonnaise, any cheese, hot dogs, cole slaw, regular salad dressing, green vegetables, 1tsp nuts, dill or bread and butter pickles. IMPORTANT: STAY ON DIET 12 DAYS AND STOP FOR 2 DAYS Works out great to start on a Monday because you will have every other weekend off of the diet. |

| ritac | posted 9-Dec-2009 8:54pm And to think I just threw out some expensive cheese! |
| dreamer | posted 9-Dec-2009 11:45pm i cant say ill miss cheese i never really liked it, it has a funky taste |
| ritac | posted 10-Dec-2009 9:36am I like cheese but I can do without it. how is everyone doing on the diet? I admit I am not doing all that great. I had wine :( not a good thing to do if you want to see results |
| dreamer | posted 10-Dec-2009 11:45am lol well ritac your doing alot better then me im off again i have no motavation at all, im so bad at the whole dieting thing :( |
| Akela | posted 10-Dec-2009 2:44pm I had copious amounts of beer on Monday, so even though tomorrow is day five I'm might not see results until Saturday. I'm doing really well, other then that one day. Been having loads off fun with meal planning and been cooking up some good eats. I have to cook for my husband and son, too, so it's been fun coming up with healthy things I can do for them and still utilize stuff for MY eats. So I made them pitas for lunch (for example) and made myself a huge cabbage salad and used some of the meat and veggies I cooked up for them for the pitas in my salad and the cucumber sauce for dressing. Feta cheese. It was to die for. Yummy! Not remotely burnt out, yet, 'cause I've been shaking up the menu a lot. I really hope this works. It's something I could do to take breaks from my "normal" routine without feeling guilty. |
| Blackberry35 | posted 11-Dec-2009 3:24am I am starting the grapefruit diet today. My starting wt. is 253lbs. I am hopeful, and determined to lose this weight. I will be turning 36 in August, and would like to be down to 135 lbs. by then. It has always been hard for me to stick to diets, but with prayer and hope I am determined to do it. I will post my weight after 5 days to see if it is working for me. I wish everybody on this diet the best of results. |
| ritac | posted 11-Dec-2009 10:57am Well dreamer and akela, I wish you both luck. I started the diet I think around Nov 2 and started off good. The hardest part at first was to not drink alcohol, and not eat my favorite carbs like white rice (something i ate everyday) pasta, potatoes etc. I did really good. I gave my brother all my rice and pastas, and potatoes, got rid of the wine (my fav lol) and forced myself to eat breakfast every morning, but now, more than a month later, I am tired of the damn bacon, im tired of eating breakfast because i wasnt a breakfast person b4, I only use to have coffee for breakfast, a whole pot to be exact! And I miss drinking juices, and grapefruit gets a little old! However, I still dont have any carbs in my home yay me! I have only skipped breakfast maybe a total of 2 times, and I have not breaded and deep fried any meat. So all in all I believe that I have made a pretty good effort in changing my whole eating habits. I don't even crave carbs, ok I admit yesterday I bought a cheese filled pasta that is covered in a pesto basil sauce LOL! but only one bag, and I wont eat it alone. I will share it with my bf when he comes over this weekend. Dreamer, I understand how you feel girl. I hope you do give yourself a chance to at least try the diet for 2 weeks, I promise you will see a change, I am one size smaller than before! So it can work. It is hard at first but by the end of the 1st week you will start to get use to it, by the 2nd week, you will feel like you have accomplished something big, and feel more healthy. Good luck and dont eat too much this weekend! lol |
| Firm-n-Fit | posted 11-Dec-2009 10:57am I did fine the first two days and then yesterday I bombed big time. I am right back at it toda though. I have lost 2.5lbs in three days. My goal is to lose 12 by Dec. 31. I think that is doable on this diet. Especially since I know that it can be done (ever watch the biggest loser). I no longer believe that we can only safely lose 1-2lbs per week those people lose anywhere between 3-18 pounds per week!!! |
| Akela | posted 11-Dec-2009 2:52pm Feeling a bit bummed... Despite the beer Monday I was hoping to maybe see a LITTLE loss today but I've actually gone up a pound. (DAMN!) I know that our weight(s) fluctuate daily, so I'm trying not to stress, but I'm not sure how to do much better then I have been. I've been eating all the foods recommended. I'll hang in there. But if I don't see a loss soon, I dunno. Granted, it's not "hard" for me (yet) but it's hard to stick with something if it's not working. Will try to get a bit of exercise in... Maybe that will help. Hope you're all having better luck then I am. Not throwing in the towel, yet, just frustrated. :) |
| Anonymous | posted 11-Dec-2009 2:57pm Firm-n-Fit- Sorry, I've got to comment. I'm not disrespecting the work that The BL people do, because they work DAMN hard to lose that weight... But keep in mind... They're exercising 8-12 hours A DAY and they have doctors and nutritional experts there to keep tabs on making sure they aren't over-stressing thier bodies. We can obviously lose more then 2 lbs in a week, but much more then that falls in the catagory of "crash dieting" and it's really not healthy. Please don't set your standards to those on a reality t.v. program. There are healthier ways to go about doing things. :) |
| Bree | posted 11-Dec-2009 11:07pm I am 5"7" and i started the diet on tuesday and i weigh 257. I plan on getting on the scale on Dec. 23 to see if the diet helped a little. I have been walking a mile each day to help me. Anonymous question: I dont like bacon that much so i been using sausage, is that ok? Also i dont drink coffee. Some days i miss breakfast and just follow the meun for lunch and dinner. Do you think that i should still loose the weight? |
| Blackberry 35 | posted 14-Dec-2009 12:32am I couldn't wait to weigh on the fifth day, so I weighed before Sunday Dec. 13. My weight is 251 lbs. Not bad a 2 lb. loss in 2 days. I must admit, I did eat lots of things I wasn't supposed to eat, by faithfully ate the grapefruit. I've decided to eat a whole grapefruit at night, while at work, to stave off cravings. Will post again in a couple of days, and am more determined to stick to the diet. I feel much better though, and my energy has increased. |
| Akela | posted 15-Dec-2009 2:02pm Well, no luck last week... Took the weekend off for holiday stuff, but back in it today. Maybe I'll get lucky and see some results by Saturday. :) |
| Blackberry 35 | posted 16-Dec-2009 1:05am Dec. 15 wt. 249.2 My goal is to get down to 135 lbs. by the end of August 2010. Also started Tae-bo yesterday. I do about 20 minutes. Will incorporate walking 1 or 2 miles into my routine starting today. I am determined to lose this weight!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| ladyinred | posted 19-Dec-2009 4:42pm I'm going to start this plan once I buy the stuff for it, but I am currently 5'6" and am 178 pounds. I don't really have a goal considering I hold my weight wll and don't know what weighth would lok good with my doby, but let's see how far I get. I will post my results on New Year's Day of 2010 and I'll try to start by CHRISTmas. I've tried it before in '07, but I got bored of the eating the same things for multiple days at a time and I quit, but I do remember it working for me. I think I lost 7 pounds in like a week or something like that. |
| Ritac | posted 20-Dec-2009 2:28pm Totally have not been on my diet at all this week, and it shows! I need to get back on it but it's so boring eating the same foods, but the food IS cheap |
| Akela | posted 23-Dec-2009 8:48pm How's everyone doing? I'm off until after the hols, but still curious if this is working for anyone? |
| gameisplayed | posted 26-Dec-2009 10:11pm Hey, does any meat include fried catfish and bbq chicken?lol And can I use ANY seasonings/sauces I want or do I have to stick to plain chicken and plain fish? |
| Akela | posted 28-Dec-2009 5:12am gameisplayed: I think BBQ SAUCE is pretty high in sugar, but SEASONINGS are usually fine... Ketchup and BBQ are probably out... But like... Spicy mustards would be okay. Just gotta watch that sugar. |

| SHHHH | posted 7-Jan-2010 6:33pm I started yesterday and I also need to know if I can eat just brocolli instead of salad because I don't have salad. Also I am limited on grapefruit juice so can I just do 4 or maybe 6 ounces instead of 8? Thanks. |
| meshall | posted 8-Jan-2010 6:38am Can you drink at least 1 pack of crystal light a day on this diet? |
| leigh | posted 8-Jan-2010 11:28am I did a variation of this diet in the late 90s with a 40-45 pound successful loss in about 3 months. I only did the bacon, grapefruit and eggs in the morning. I'm not a coffee drinker and I only drink decaf tea so these were never a problem for me. The bacon and grapefruit seemed to give me a jump-start in the morning and I started to see results right away. I've been on this plan again now for only a week and I already feel a difference physically. My fingers and feet are not swelling and I have more energy during the day. I can remove my wedding band for the first time in more than a year! I'm in my late 40s now and have not only gained weight (about 50 pounds back) but have also developed hypertension, joint and muscle pain, and a general malaise. I never feel good anymore. I tried an exercise program a few months back but canceled my membership after 1 month because my potassium levels plummeted suddenly because of all the extra water I was drinking. I also found I had diabetes isipidus, not life-threatening but definitely a warning sign of something going on. I discovered my blood pressure meds have a diuretic in them that creates the excessive fluid loss and because of the high blood pressure, I should not consume extra sodium to help prevent dehydration. So, I'm back to square one again. I've decided to try this plan again, similar to the grapefruit diet but eat balanced meals the other two meals of the day, just as I did before minus the grapefruit part. I felt healthy, had more energy and quickly stopped craving enriched, starchy processed foods. I'm hoping the additional 10 years in age will not be a negative this time and that I can make this a lifestyle change permanently...... I would really love to be able to ride my bike again without muscle fatigue, potassium loss and chronic fatigue. I also have asthma. I'm 5'5" and 210 pounds. It's shocking to see that in writing! I should weight around 150. I started this plan about a week ago and I haven't been on the scale since. I have my husband trying to eat better as well. He's 9 years older than me. He has high bad cholesterol and a family history or heart disease, cancer and high blood pressure so the odds are not in his favor. Both of us have excessive belly fat, indicating we are both mentally and physically stressed which puts us even further at risk. We also do not have medical insurance so if one of us were to have one minor health issue, it could be financially devastating. We are eating only whole wheat or multigrain breads in limited amounts, lots of fresh or frozen vegetables; steamed, raw, stir-fried with only olive oil, red beans, black beans and brown or whole grain rice, fresh fruits daily, either smoothies, fresh cut or baked with Stevia sweetner, a little low-fat yogurt with Stevia as a topping, seasoning with herbs and exotic spices for rich flavor and complimentary pairing with fresh fish, seafood, chicken, turkey and fat-free ham, very lean pork cutlets, wild game such as elk, deer, buffalo (very healthy!) and very small amounts of starchy foods such as baby red potatoes, whole wheat pasta, and whole wheat fruit muffins sweetened only with honey, small amounts of molasses, real maple syrup or Stevia. We stay away from frozen prepared, canned or other processed foods to avoid chemicals and heat-processed foods that cut the nutritional value. Frozen vegetables are actually better than fresh in some instances (same with fruits) because the nutrition is preserved by the immediate blanching and freezing process. Fresh produce and vegetables are not truly fresh unless you buy from local produces or farms and much of the nutrition is lost in transit and cold storage to get it to the stores. We buy fresh only from local markets and use frozen as the alternative source when fresh is out of season. This is a variation of the grapefruit diet but it was approved by our doctor and since I had success with it before, I know I can safely lose the weight again. We both have to get healthy and stay that way! Our lives may depend on it now. I'll post an update soon. |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Jan-2010 12:54pm People this diet is not healthy, you might lose weight but as soon as you start eating carbs again you will gain it back. are you going to eat this way the rest of your life? you need to find a better way. do the grapefruit and eat a balanced meal. As long as you eat around 1,200 calories a day and burn more than you eat you will lose weight. stop doing fad diets and get serious. |
| leigh | posted 8-Jan-2010 11:39pm Anonymous, essentially, what you are saying is the point I was trying to get across. The only good weight loss is doing it safely and with a huge degree of balancing all food groups. The combinations of the right foods are more important than just watching how many calories you take in. If you eat too few of the wrong foods, your metabolism will shut down to a crawl in the starvation mode. If you eat too many of the wrong foods, you will not lose weight. The trick is finding the right combination of foods that work with your body and by all means, use good sense in your selections and make sure your doctor approves what you are doing, especially if you already have health concerns. Today, I purchased a blender today to make fresh fruit smoothies for my husband and me. My lunch consisted of a 16 oz. shake that kept me satisfied until dinner. My first try at this was a coconut milk and low-fat lactose free milk based with ice, low-fat plain yogurt, with 1/2 banana and 1/2 and apple. I left the skin on the apple for additional fiber. No additional sweetner was needed and it was similar to drinking a milkshake made from ice milk instead of ice cream. My husband even drank one and he's a bit picky when it comes to diet stuff. Use your imagination and create healthy snack foods from items you already like. Be creative and develop treats that you will enjoy having. Get a friend or diet buddy and share ideas. Finding a plan you can live with for the rest of your life is the key to successful and permanent healthy weight. |
| Akela | posted 10-Jan-2010 5:47pm On that note, I'm back to watching the calories. This isn't maintainable (and for whatever reason, not working for me, though it does work for many)for me... Although when I hit my next plateau I might give it a whirl, again. I did love some of the meal plans, etc. I came up with. Good luck to everyone! |
| Carla | posted 13-Jan-2010 10:02am Ok I'm back since my last post (posted 31-Mar-2009 9:04am), sticking to this diet from 1/5/09 until about May 09 I was down to 172 so that was a 19lb weight loss. Of course on and off of it the entire time. Since then I've been going up and down by about 5lbs but being able to maintain my weight but again not feeling good like I did last year. I wasnt on the diet but in June I got down to 168, I want that back. So I just started this diet again on 1/11/10 @ 176.50 lbs and my goal is to get to 160 with no specific date in mind. I will keep you updated on my progress weekly. I will try not to weigh myself but once a week so i will not get discouraged.....Toodles...Much Success to all... Carla... |
| Leigh | posted 15-Jan-2010 2:03pm Update since the 1/8/10 posts above: I've been at it now since the first of January. I weighed myself finally this week and I'm down 12 pounds already. I bought a pair of new Worthington dress pants about two weeks ago. They were too tight in the waist and looked way too tight in the butt when I bought them but I got them anyway for motivation. I wore those same pants this morning for a meeting with a dress sweater and they fit perfectly! Whoo hoo!! My husband has even joined in now and he's drinking the healthy smoothies, eating the whole wheat pasta and breads, veggies and such and not complaining about it....... he's lost a little weight too already. I have tons more energy already so I know for sure now that processed starches and refined sugars (non-natural carbohydrates) were making a slug out of me! Keep at it everyone.... the rewards are worth the perseverance. |
| Sonya | posted 17-Jan-2010 3:43pm I started this diet today. I actually feel better than i usually did because of the water intake. I saw where someone ask about retaining water. I was told by a nutritionist to heat one cup of water and put lemon juice in it. It acts as a diuretic. So I'm ready. After reading all the post here I'm very excited. I hadn't drank water in ages and just realized it does make you have more energy lol. Good luck all. If anyone has any pointers email me at sonya_payne@hotmail.com |
| ingie | posted 18-Jan-2010 12:58am Hello everyone! I've been on this diet before and I can testify that it works. 2 years ago I had lost about 45 pounds and kept it off for a year. I'm an emotional eater so when my son moved far away without telling me I was in mourning so I ate for consolation.So to all the people who say that it doesn't work as soon as you stop, I say they are wrong. Most people who gain their weight back go back to the same bad eating habits that made them overweight in the first place and that is what I did. I gained all my weight back. Now since January 2010 I made a pact with myself that I am tired of this roller coaster ride called "yo-yo dieting" I started the Grape fruit diet on January 7 and I feel good already. I didn't weigh myself on that day but when I was at the doctor 3 weeks ago I was almost 250 pounds. I have not weighed myself but I feel that I have lost something. I've been drinking a lot of water and my skin is looking better (I barely use to drink water) I'm weighing myself tomorrow and I will post to let u no my results. I am debating on whether to buy another scale because scales make me crazy. I would weigh myself everyday! Anyway, I think the grapefruit juice is an appetite suppressor. Eating this way and drinking 4 20 oz bottles of water a day keeps me feeling full and I recognize the difference of feeling hungry or thirsty. I think any diet that promotes eating vegetables is a good idea. I notice when I'm at my unhealthiest I barely eat vegetables but I'm consuming a lot of carbs and my down-fall "cookies". Anyway Wish me luck as I will to everyone. Friends, don't give up. We are in a fight for our lives. This week I will bring in my treadmill from out the garage and incorporate walking with this diet. God bless everyone! |
| Carla | posted 18-Jan-2010 12:27pm OKAY ONE WEEK IN AND DIDNT LOSE ANY WEIGHT AT ALL, DIDNT GAIN EITHER SO THATS A PLUS.. IM NOT GIVING UP BECAUSE IVE DONE THIS DIET TOO MANY TIMES AND I KNOW IT WORKS.. I WASNT AS STRICT AS I NORMALLY AM WHEN I START THIS DIET.... UNTIL NEXT WEEK.... .CARLA |
| ingie | posted 18-Jan-2010 10:52pm Hello Fellow 12 day dieters! I weighed myself today and I am 13 pounds down. I started out at 252 pounds I now weigh 239. I was so happy!I only been on the diet since January 10, 20l0! I notice that i really don't have an appetite. It's like I'm eating to live not living to eat. I am up for my 2 days off this weekend and to tell u the truth I don't crave anything. I'm focused on losing the over 60 pounds that I have to lose. I feel in my heart this time that I'm gonna finally keep it off this time! |
| Ery | posted 19-Jan-2010 2:51pm I just started the diet this morning so ill keep you guys posted and see how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed! |
| Sonya | posted 20-Jan-2010 7:08am Well so far so good. By day 2 I lost 5 lbs then on 3rd day only half lb. But this morning 2 more. This diet is great for me I hope everyone does great. |
| wannabee | posted 20-Jan-2010 12:23pm i started this diet on january 11, 2010. I haven't followed it to the t , but I have been eating half a grapefruit 3 times a day. I have not weighed myself, but i know I have lost some weight because my pants are no longer tight on me. I will keep you posted on my success. |
| time 4 a change | posted 20-Jan-2010 12:59pm Hello Everyone!!! I have been reading up on the grapefruit diet now for about a week and that includes reading all of your post which has lead me to the decision that I do want to try this diet!!! I am a 22 year old female who is 5'6 weighing in at 220punds (ugh) I use to be so active in high school played softball all my life and after high school i quit ball and started working. i have gained so much weight and i hate it so so much, i tried the cookie diet and that worked i lost 30pounds in 2 months but gained it all back and then some when i got off and a lot of it has to do with i didnt eat right. i tried so many diet pills and yeah obvisouly that didnt work. i bought a house with my boyfriend and omg he is a workout freak he is in the gym everyday and he has such a nice body and i hate it i get so embarassed to go with him anywhere with the fear that people are going to look at us and say what is he doing with that fat thing...i know thats horrible but it is starting to depress me. Well my lil sister is getting married in sept of 2010 and i need to lose 40-50pounds by then so i have decided to try this diet. I plan on starting tomorrow so i hope i have good results like the rest of you. If you guys can give me any tips or advice please let me know i will keep everyone posted on my progress!! best wishes to all and hope to hear from you  |
| Soontobeskinny | posted 21-Jan-2010 11:16am Hi folks, I started this diet on January 11th with my coworker and I've lost 8lbs. My coworker has lost 7lbs. We have one more day to go then we get to take our 2 days off. This diet was hard in the beginning, but you get used to it after the second week. I need to lose 22 more pounds. I'll keep you guys posted on our progress. This diet really does work! |
| WishToLose50 | posted 21-Jan-2010 11:48am Hi Everyone, I have been thinking about doing this for a while but had a few questions first. If anyone could help that would be great. 1. It says you can eat meat how ever you like with your salad and grapefruit. Does this mean I could eat as many (frozen) chicken nuggets as I wish? Or maybe the Chicken Strips from a fast food restaurant? 2. Can you substitute the bacon for Turkey Bacon? 3. When you are off the 2 days....what are you allowed to eat? Thank you! |
| Sonya | posted 21-Jan-2010 1:47pm Meat doesn't need to be breaded but yes as much as you want. |
| time 4 a change | posted 21-Jan-2010 4:29pm Hey everyone today is my 1st day of the diet and so far so good, i feel engergized and motivated!!! i plan on going to the gym today to do nothing but cardio to burn fat!!! but i have a question are you supposed to eat the 1/2 half of grapefruit before u eat your meal, or after or just during?? |
| Chubtub | posted 22-Jan-2010 8:12pm Hi!! I'm starting this diet tomorrow and I'm so so excited. All of your posts are so inspiring!I am 20 and weigh 140. I'd like to get down to at least 105 because I have a small frame. Anyone have similar stats? I really could use the support. WishToLose50, the batter on strips and nuggets has tons of carbs. Only "naked" meat with spices and seasonings. You can do your reg diet the 2 days off, but you still want to watch the sugar. Don't overdo the junk. |
| Chubtub | posted 22-Jan-2010 8:17pm Forgot to say...Height 5'4". A great way to get all the foods is to have a grilled chicken salad. Combines the meat and veggies. Also if you're gonna have ranch, should be regular, not low fat or light, as the low fat has more carbs. I did this diet when i was in high school. Was already thin so just needed to lose abt 7 lbs. It took 5 days!!! I love the food options and the fact that you're not starving. The more you eat of the combination of foods, the more weight you lose. Unlike other diet plans, you get those 2 amazing days off. I can't wait to start |
| Chubtub | posted 22-Jan-2010 8:21pm tim 4 a change, I feel the same way when I'm out with my husband. But he has inspired me to go to the gym...EVERY day. It's so much fun getting active and having a good time with him. But, I'm simply wasting my time until i start a diet program. Havn't lost any weight but starting tomorrow I'm boarding your boat sister!! Yay. |
| ingie | posted 22-Jan-2010 10:17pm Hello fellow 12 day dieters! Today is my 12th day of the diet. Whew...I made it. Actually it wasn't that bad. I bought a scale to weigh myself in the morning. I know I lost some more weight because I'm fitting a pair of pants that I couldn't get into. I was so excited! To all the naysayers,"This diet works". This is the only diet that ever worked for me. Being that tomorrow is my 2 days off, I really don't have a big craving for anything. I will eat sensibly though because I don't even want to go back to eating all those cookies like I was doing. So of course I'm staying far away from them. I'll write back tomorrow with results of my weigh in. |
| ingie | posted 23-Jan-2010 10:32am Hello! I weighed myself this morning and I weigh 237.4 lbs!My start off weight was 252 pounds. I lost 15 pounds. I started the diet on January 10, 2010. I'm gonna enjoy my 2 days off. Good luck to everybody who's sticking to the diet. Stay Focused! We can do it! |

Today my husband finally pulled the treadmill out of the garage so I started my exercise regimine today and walked for 35 minutes. Keep in touch! We all need each other for support because we all know how hard it is to lose weight. |
| wannabee | posted 25-Jan-2010 4:17pm I finished my 12 days. I have lost 5 lbs. I am happy to lose that weight. The only thing that bothers me a lot is this.... eating grapefruit affects the blood pressure medication I am taking. For some reason , the medications are not 100% effective. Does anybody experience the same situation I am in. Please let me know. |

| just wondering | posted 26-Jan-2010 6:01pm does grapefruit juice have carbs? |
| Chubtub | posted 26-Jan-2010 6:33pm jus wonderin...grapefruit does have carbs, so keep it at 8 oz per meal. The grapefriut juice is what helps your body burn fat. bikinibound...you can have fresh green beans on the diet. Stay away from canned veggies as there are usually some additives, equalling carbs |

| Chubtub | posted 26-Jan-2010 6:39pm AshleyBrooke, you CAN have cheese. Just make sure you don't overdo it. Some cheeses have more carbs. Stay away from cottage cheese, cream cheese, and cheese sauces/dips |
| bikinibound | posted 27-Jan-2010 3:26pm I started the diet yesterday and when I weighed today I was 2 lbs lighter. I know that it's water of course but it's very encouraging. :) I felt pretty weak yesterday and was starving by the time I went to bed, but it's a little easier today. |
| Chubtub | posted 27-Jan-2010 4:10pm bikinibound... Maybe try eating more of the allowed foods, esp meats, to stay feeling energized. I'm a sugar junkie so if you are too that could be the reason. Today is my 5th day and I'm down 6 lbs |
| bikinibound | posted 27-Jan-2010 4:14pm Chubtub, Thanks for the advice. I did eat more portions of the meats so I think thats helping. I am a sugar junkie as well and love bread so I think not getting to have those is the reason. Congrats on your weight loss so far. |
| justwondering | posted 27-Jan-2010 4:19pm i noticed on my grapefruit juice it says it has like 20g sugar? I got the oceanspray 100% grapefruit juice. is there another preferred brand or do they all have sugar? |

| LeahDarling | posted 2-Feb-2010 12:23pm I just started this diet yesterday morning. I had been on the Daniel Fast with my church for the previous 21 days. I decided to only take Sunday evening off, and then hop on this plan while still disciplined. I was tired of doing the Daniel Fast because, although we could eat vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds, I was feeling as though I was taking in too many carbs. I did lose 6 lbs on the fast. I am very excited about the possibilities of this diet. I am 5'0, 39yo, 220 start weight, size 18. I have so much weight to lose that I am not really sure at what weight I would look good. For now, I will say that I need to lose an even 100lbs, but will focus on smaller goals. I am hoping this diet at least helps me with the first half of my needed weight loss. I weighed 218.4 this morning when I awakened. I walked two miles yesterday. My goal is to walk daily to increase my fat burning potential. It has been raining all day so far so I am not sure I will be able to walk today. |

| ingie | posted 5-Feb-2010 11:53pm Hello 12 day dieters! Today is my last day of my second go of 12 days. Tomorrow morning I start my 2 days off. I weighed myself this morning(and I shouldn't have) and so far I weigh 231.8 pounds! Actually I should have waited until Saturday morning to weigh myself but I just couldn't resist. That brings my total to 20 pounds!I feel great and I'm beginning to fit into most of the clothing that I haven't been able to wear in months. I hate that I didn't measure myself but I know I lost inches in my thighs, arms, calfs, and stomach. I'm gonna enjoy my 2 days off (of course sensibly)I got a taste for Papa John's Pizza. Other than that, I'm good. Good luck to those who are staying true and focused on the 12 day weight loss journey. We can do it! |

| purple | posted 10-Feb-2010 9:01am I am interested in this diet. Is it 1/2 of grapefruit with each meal or an entire grapefruit? I have seen both when googling the grapefruit diet. Also I like chai tea with skim milk. Can I take the bedtime skim milk and have it in the am with the tea? On the 2 days off what are you allowed to eat? 5'11 and 315 pounds. I want to loose 150 pounds. it took 24 years and 5 kids to put this weight on so I realize it may take awhile! Has anyone lost large amounts of weight on this diet and how long will it take? |

| Godsproperty | posted 14-Feb-2010 12:08pm Hi everyone, I am 5'1 and I weigh 155 lbs. I am totally depressed about the way I look! I am starting the diet on tomorrow. I want to lose 30 lbs by the summertime. My problem is sunkist sodas. I will starve myself if I can have a sunkist. But, I will try my best to give them up for the next 12 day. Wish me luck and include me in your prayers. I need willpower and committment! Thanks! |
| Motivated | posted 15-Feb-2010 12:29am Hi Everyone. Today is my first day on the diet. I weigh 230 and i'm 5'8. I will keep you all posted. I am also going to start working out on this diet. I will report back in a week. |
| Anonymous | posted 15-Feb-2010 1:01pm Hello fellow 12 day dieters! I am on my 3rd round of the 12 days I haven't weighed myself in a week because i found myself getting on the scale every day which is not good. I decided to weigh myself at the end of the 12 days which is February 19. I noticed something about myself, when I was on my 2 dsys off and i got to eat whatever i wanted i found that when I ate more carbs I was hungry and I thought about food all of the time. I couldn't even go to sleep at bedtime so I ate a salad and I finally went to sleep. I also noticed that I eat less vegetables, and I drink less water. Also, i have trouble falling asleep when I began to add more carbs. I know now what i have to do...make this a way of life for me. I've been researching on the internet about the "low carb way of life" and I found a lot of info online. I believe my body needs only a small amount of carbs to run efficiently. Since I been on the grapefruit diet I feel better, I'm finally sleepy at bedtime, I drink lots of water, I eat vegetables every day and I only eat when I'm hungry. The only thing I need to improve on is my exercising. I work so much that when I come home late at night it's hard for me to get on that treadmill. I have to find a way to get more exercise in. Also I'm responding to Godsproperty question, I know u said u like sunkist soda, they offer a diet version try that. Also, how is your water intake? I find that when I drink diet soda, I don't drink enough water. I replace water witht the diet drink. So, mostly I drink water all day and I may drink diet tea with my dinner. I may drink a diet soda maybe once or twice a month. I know its hard but we have to think of our health and our life. I don't want to die because of the way I eat. My addiction was to cookies. I gave them up cold turkey. The longer I eat the right way the more my body and pallete is getting used to eating this way. I find that I'm no longer craving cookies. When I go to the market I try to avoid going down the junk food aisles which was hard for me at first. I am trying to change the way my mind thinks because losing weight has a lot to do with "our minds". Okay, I'm gonna end this post. Like I said before we need each other for support. Any questions or comments please feel free to ask. Good luck everyone, I'm praying for all of us. |

Im hoping i can start losing weight fast ive tried so many other things this past two weeks and lost only 2 lbs. Somebody please tell me this will work and to try and stick with it?? Thanks all |
| Fat Tony | posted 22-Feb-2010 12:38pm I've been doing this for the past 6 days and have lost 6lbs. Well to be fair, I'm on the Atkins diet, but I incorporated the grapefruit. I only eat the grapefruit twice a day, and 1/2 a grapefruit with each meal. Is it the Atkins making me lose weight or the grapefruit? Most likely the Atkins but that wont stop me from eating the grapefruit as it may help some too! |
| Candy | posted 22-Feb-2010 2:20pm I have been on this Diet for 2 days and I have lost 1.5lbs so far. My goal is to have lost 7lbs by next week. We will see what happens, I will keep you posted. I am also riding the bike 30 minutes per day. |
| Candy | posted 22-Feb-2010 2:22pm Does anyone know if it matters if you eat the grapefruit before or after the meal? I have been eating my grapefruit after the meal. |
| MS. JUNE | posted 22-Feb-2010 4:21pm To Candy: It doesn't really matter. I do it both ways and still have shed some pounds. But, I do prefer before meals. |
| Fat Tony | posted 22-Feb-2010 5:57pm I do it right after meals. |

| Wine Lover | posted 25-Feb-2010 8:34am Hi All - Started the GFD on Jan 18th and had very good immediate results. Lost 6 lbs in 4 days but have only lost 5 additionals lbs since then. I'm on my 3rd 12 day round and haven't cheated one bit (I miss wine a lot). So frustrating to see the scale hasn't budged in 17 or so days. Sticking with it but wondering if anyone else hit a roadblock so fast. I have about 60 more lbs to lose so I shouldn't be hitting a plateua so soon. Does this diet not work for some? Any advice? |
| Wine Lover | posted 25-Feb-2010 8:43am Also - Some sites say 1 cup GF juice and some say 1/2 cup. I've been eating 1/2 GF with breakfast and drinking 8oz GF juice with lunch and dinner. Should I be drinking 8oz of 4oz? Maybe I'll cut back to 6oz and see how that goes? I know we can't have Ruby Redy GF juice but can we eat Ruby Red GF? I appreaciate any feedback. |

Just trying to shed a few winter pounds(7-12). Can anyone clarify the salad portion of this diet-does salad mean just lettuce or can you add 1tsp of nuts, dry fruit like cranberries, or some of those red or green veggies... help? As you may know their are tons of versions of this diet out there-conflicting menu choices. I also seen one with veggies and cheese added to the eggs at breakfast. I appreaciate any feedback. |
| trying! | posted 28-Feb-2010 8:26pm hi all! need to loose 40 + 50 pounds too!! im bored of myself ! always been even though i didnt used to weigh as much as i do now,, family and friends pressure comparing me to skinny girls, anyway im geting a grip on my life, tried the atkins diet this past fall i can say i lost a dress size whatever that is in pounds, since i hate to weigh myself,, and i want to be down at least 2 dress sizes by summer, as i will be transfering universities,, and after a break up i want to look good,, soo will get on this diet ! hope to see results |
| Grapefruit Nut | posted 28-Feb-2010 9:21pm does anyone know about the foods we are allowed to eat. if we're not suppose to eat in between meals...when do we find the time to eat nuts and suchs if our menus are so specific? |
| kate's almost 50 | posted 1-Mar-2010 1:18pm Hello - my husband and I started this diet this morning. I am turning 50 this month and want to drop some pounds before the big day... and then lose the rest after. It's been very encouraging reading your posts. What's the verdict on nuts and cheeses? |
| Jamaican Bod | posted 3-Mar-2010 1:08pm Please someone clarify... 2 salads a day(lunch and dinner). Not clear on the salad at dinner or not? Either meat & veggies or meat, veggies & salad. Thanx in advance. |
| Jamie | posted 4-Mar-2010 6:43am Jamaican Bod at lunch they want you to have salad. At dinner u can choose to either have a salad or green veggies not both =) I rotate back in fourth some days ill have a salad twice a day and then veggie another night at dinner only=) I hope this helps!! |
| Wine Lover | posted 4-Mar-2010 8:18am I haven't had any nuts since I've started the diet. So many versions are so different. Some say yes to nuts and cheese and some don't say anything about them. Sometimes I have some cheese in my salad at lunch. It's been about 7 weeks for me now and I am still stuck at 10 lbs. Maybe I'll try adding some nuts to my salad as well... |
| Jamaican Bod | posted 4-Mar-2010 1:25pm Jamie- It did help, thanx. Hate to be a bother- what do you add to your salad besides meat? |
| Happigolucky | posted 5-Mar-2010 4:18pm I started the diet on Monday (3/1) and haven't lost anything...(today is my 5th day 3/5)Could anyone give me advice? I'm 5'5 175 pounds. It's hard to stick with something when you haven't seen any results! My menu: Breakfast 8oz grapefruit juice 2 eggs - usually scrambled 2 slices of bacon Lunch 8oz grapefruit juice Shredded lettuce with HV ranch dressing and salsa Ground hamburger (sometimes with taco seasoning) Dinner 8oz grapefruit juice Salad with honey mustard Chicken breast Herbal tea I also drink around 80 oz of water a day! Thank you. |
| Terri | posted 5-Mar-2010 8:50pm I know what u mean Happygolucky! I've been on the diet 6 days and havent lost any weight! I eat the same diet as you, but I eat half a grapefruit, I also drink alot of water. Some people say they lose alot of weight quick, but for me I dont see any change...that's when you wanna give up!, when you DONT see results. I dont know, I'll stick it out a lil' longer to see what happens... |
| anonymous | posted 6-Mar-2010 12:09am hi terri,grapefruit is very good at regulating blood sugar.which i think its meant to work.i think you would get better results eating an orange with a whole wheat sandwich.the fiber in the bread slows the fructose down,regulating steady insulin release.give it a whirl. |
| anonymous | posted 6-Mar-2010 12:11am sorry ... i meant which is why the diets meant to work.jst spotted my type o. |
| kate's almost 50 | posted 6-Mar-2010 10:25am We are seeing results in our house, but it is difficult to stick to. I like to cook and still have 2 children at home so sometimes that helps and other times it hinders. I started on 3/1 and as of today I have lost 6 lbs. Woot! My husband has only lost 3, but he has 2 cups of coffee at breakfast with a total 14 tsp of sugar plus cream, and that is his choice to go slower. I don't like coffee so it isn't a problem for me. I miss bread and pasta I have added an ounce of cheese and handful of nuts for a snack (I teach school and get very hungry)and if I am home and hungry between meals, I have a glass of grapefruit juice. I add many ingredients to our salads for variety. At night I am certain to drink a glass of skim milk. we both can't wait until our cheat days next weekend! |
| kate's almost 50 | posted 6-Mar-2010 10:26am p.s. Safeway bottles an organic grapefruit juice that has fiber added. We use that one frequently. |
| billy | posted 6-Mar-2010 2:20pm your husbands doing a good thing spiking his insulin first thing.just need to keep it steady after that.14 is a bit much but right there is natural anabolism. |

| KlassB | posted 7-Mar-2010 11:30am Hello, I will be starting this diet tomorrow March 8,2010 wish me luck, I think that the biggest obstacle will be my snacking but I can do this and I have to. I need to loose 40 Lbs due to being Diabetic, is anyone doing this diet who is diabetic and if so can you give me any tips. Take care |
| telma | posted 7-Mar-2010 11:36am Hi KlassB I am nnot diabetic but i am going to start this diet tomorrow too :) My gool is lose 23-24 pounds. Do you think this diet will really work? Best of luck take care |
| KlassB | posted 7-Mar-2010 1:01pm Hi Telma, I really do think that this diet will work from everything that I have read so far. I have made a food plan for the next couple of days and it really does not look so bad. For breakfast I have bought steamer bags that you can make an omelette in and I will just add some cheese, green onions and peppers. For lunch I will have a greek salad and steak and for supper I will have a chicken breast and vegetables. I will find it hard for the first few days not snacking that is my biggest problem and also not having any fruit. I will keep you posted on how my progress is going and hopefully you can do the same. Good Luck. Take care, Barb |
| paty | posted 7-Mar-2010 3:00pm Hi All i want to start doing this diet but i wonder if after losing weight will i get it back as soon as i stop this diet. Please help. This is really important to me. I am getting crazy to lose weight. I really need to. Thanks |
| KlassB | posted 7-Mar-2010 3:35pm Hi Paty, I guess with any diet you have the risk of putting the weight back on. I think that the only way to maintain your weight loss is to exercise and eat sensibly. Hopefully this has helped you with your questions. Take care |
| telma | posted 7-Mar-2010 3:44pm Hi KlassB Thanks so much. I cant wait to see my weight lost. and fit again in my old clothes. Just a question, is for we eat 1/2 greapefruit or 1 ? Take Care |
| KlassB | posted 7-Mar-2010 6:58pm Hi Telma, the diet that I will be following is 1/2 a grapefruit with breakfast, lunch and supper or 8oz of unsweetened grapefruit juice. I can't wait to start this diet tomorrow and start seeing results, every year I say I will not be fat this summer and every summer the same thing so hopefully this will be the summer. I was also wondering if you could have turkey bacon some days instead of regular bacon everyday. Take care |
| telma | posted 8-Mar-2010 7:12am Hi KlassB, I start the diet and so far so good. I havent been feeling hungry at all :) I will be following the diet list on the top of this page. hows being your day so far? Take Care |
| Terri | posted 8-Mar-2010 7:40am Hey, it's Terri again! I ended up messing up on the diet on Saturday when my fiance' took me out for chinese. I ate some rice, then on Sunday, I had 1 taco, so im starting back today. Like I said before, I was on the diet for 6 days, but felt like I didnt lose any weight, but on Saturday I wore a pair of jeans that was previously kind of tight, and they felt looser that day. So maybe I lost a pound or two? (lol) I really want to see results! I would love to slim down and look pretty for the spingtime. I followed the diet exactly, but this time I might add a fat burner diet pill with it, has anybody else tried this? |
| telma | posted 8-Mar-2010 8:09am OMG i have just realise that i bough the wrong grapefruit. I started my diet today, does anyone know if it still going to work out? I really really need to lose weight. i feel ashame of myself everytime i go out. I wish i could be this, and i will be. Thanks |
| julia | posted 8-Mar-2010 8:21am Hi There I wonder if we are suppose to eat 1/2 grapefruit per meal ot 1? Whar kind of grapefruit shall i use. Thanks you...... |
| Jamie | posted 8-Mar-2010 8:29am Jamaican Bod I do not add anything to my salad besides meat and dressing just different types of lettuce pretty boring but i have lost 10lbs in 12 days i feel amazing =) I hope its working for u too.. |
| klassB | posted 8-Mar-2010 11:19am Hi Telma, this is the diet that I'm following but I have increased my grapefruit juice to 8 ounces. I'm sure that what ever grapefruit you bought will work just fine, and don't be ashamed of yourself when you go out I'm sure that you look great. I think that we are sometimes to hard on ourselves and we think that we look worse than we actullay do. Here is the diet that I'm following 12 days on – 2 days off Breakfast 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) 2 Eggs (any style) 2 Slices Bacon Lunch 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) Salad (any kind of dressing) Dinner 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) (fish may be substituted for meat) Vegetables (any green, yellow, or red vegetables cooked in butter or any seasoning) Bed Time Snack 1 glass tomato juice or 1 glass Skim milk Vegetables Allowed Red onions, green onions, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, peas. Vegetables to Avoid White onions, potatoes, celery. Find other high protein meal ideas here. Instructions At any meal you may eat until you are full – until you can’t eat any more. Don’t eliminate anything from the diet, especially don’t skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn fat. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. Cut down on caffeine – it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup per meal at mealtime. Don’t eat between meals. If you eat the combination of food suggested you will not be hungry. Note that the diet completely eliminates sugar and starches, which are lipids and form fat. Fat doesn’t form fat; it helps burn it. You can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables. Do not eat desserts, bread, and white vegetables or sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings of meat, salad, or vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed. The more you eat of the proper combination of food, the more you lose. Take care, |
| telma | posted 8-Mar-2010 2:03pm Hi KlassB Thanks so much for the recipe. I will do that one too :)but i am eating 1 grapefruit instead half...Hope this is ok... Please keep me updated about hows your days are going. We can support each other. :P Take Care |

| Jojo's Mommie =] | posted 10-Mar-2010 10:46am I am starting this diet today, well - tomorrow. I did not make it to the grocery store early enough this morning. I'm not sure how much I weigh right now, I have no scale. . . but the biggest pair of jeans that I own are a size 13, and I'm not able to button them any more, especially not even get them over my big butt!! I'll start with hanging them on my wall, I'll try them on at the end of each week to see how much weight (if any) that I'm losing. And another thing, I've been on every website that talks about this diet, some say NO PEAS and some say that they're ok?.... Anybody know for sure?? Thanks!! |

| Jamaican Bod | posted 10-Mar-2010 3:04pm Jamie- Thanx for the info. I have been adding some of the required veggies, just a few red onions or a couple of mushrooms for varitey and color. |
| KlassB | posted 10-Mar-2010 6:07pm Hi Telma, so far it has not been to bad but I think that I need more variety when it comes to the salad's. You should notice a difference after the fourth day. Let me know how things are going for you. Take care |
