What is Grapefruit Diet?

Question

Has anybody heard that grapefruit helps you to reduce weight? and How does it work?

Answer 1

It was and still is a fad diet. The jist of it is that you eat a half or whole or drink grapefruit juice before meals. Some of the meals were pretty restrictive. But people did lose weight and if you like grapefruit it is a good way to continue dieting with a normal eating plan and exercise as it make you feel full you eat less and grapefruit helps move the toxins out of your body.

Answer 2

The Grapefruit Diet also known as the Hollywood Diet, an 18-day diet, dates to 1930 Hollywood.

This so-called fad diet regained popularity in the mid-1970s as a bit of Xeroxlore. It is occasionally attributed (erroneously) to the Mayo Clinic, which has expressed a decidedly negative opinion of the diet, considering it unbalanced and possibly dangerous. However, a 2004 study led by Dr. Ken Fujioka at the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic found in a 12-week pilot study that on average, participants who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost 3.6 pounds and those who drank a serving of grapefruit juice three times a day lost 3.3 pounds. Additionally, many patients in the study lost more than 10 pounds.

Answer 3

I think you just eat grapefruit before every meal. I think it does work in that if fills you up so you don't eat so much other stuff and also grapefruit is meant to have qualities that help flush out fat or stop it being absorbed or something, I don't know about that but I love grapefruit and it always makes you feel so clean and healthy that you don't feel like unhealthy food, also it stops and makes you think before you eat so you take more notice of when you are not hungry anymore. The slower you eat the more time you give your stomach to communicate to your brain you've had enough.

Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info

Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.
While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.
