Grapefruit Weight Loss 411
How you ever heard of the Grapefruit Diet? The chances are you have. Grapefruit weight loss has been around since at least the 1930s when this diet became part of popular culture as a quick weight loss regime also known as the Hollywood Diet or the Mayo Diet. For those who actually enjoy the bitter sweet flavor of grapefruit, grapefruit weight loss is perfect for them. Those who are not thrilled by the flavor are not going to be thrilled by the grapefruit weight loss plan as it involves the consumption of a considerable amount o grapefruit.
There are two main principles as to why grapefruit weight loss 'works'. First and foremost, grapefruit is high in dietary fiber helping your excretory system release toxins and waste in a more efficient way. The fruit is also known for aiding the lymphatic system in cleansing out toxins as well as excess water retention. This means that grapefruit weight loss is primarily based on the release of excess water and unwanted matter that was not supposed to be in the body to begin with. Grapefruit is also said to have an ingredient that when eaten with protein, it is theoretically supposed to trigger fat burning process in your body to cause weight loss. This is also the premise of the Aktins diet's connection to grapefruit weight loss. The second premise is still scientifically disputed.
For example the Atkins and the traditional grapefruit weight loss plan is that over 12 days you will loose roughly 10 pounds. You eat three main meals, breakfast lunch and dinner as well as a snack at bed time. Coffee drinking is allowed, and even encouraged for all of you that are looking for a diet that allows you to feed your routine. Some state that grapefruit juice can swap out eating a piece of grapefruit. Generally you have a half of a grapefruit or an 8 oz. glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. Snacking throughout the day is discouraged unless it is your bedtime snack and you are to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. There is a list of approved foods to eat and they suggest you exercise as well to complement the diet. The main difference between the Atkins and traditional versions of grapefruit weight loss is the amount of calories and the list of acceptable foods to eat.
Weather or not you are going to loose fat weight or water weight the grapefruit weight loss program does help encourage people to cut calorie intake and eat better and receive many of their nutrients through natural foods such as the fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in grapefruit itself. So even though you may not loose a pound, you are on the road to a healthier lifestyle.
