Has anyone had actual sucess on the Grapefruit Diet??

Question

I need to loose a good 20 pounds to jumpstart my new diet and excersise program. I'm not too-over weight my BMI is only 26.9 (two points above highest normal weight). I loose weight fast since I'm only 22, but I want some feed back on whether or not this is a good JUMP START diet (meaning NOT permanate, or used beyond two months).??

The lemonade diet sounds good and I looked it up. I like it as well because there is no meat and it clenses the body out. However, how was coming off the diet? Any weight gain after a month? Hard time eating solid food?

Answer 1

I'm on a lemonade diet now (day #4), which is probably similar. Search the net for "lemonade diet" or "Master Cleanse". You essentially drink lemonade all day and take no solid food (read the book or instructions - this is not your run-of-the-mill sugary lemonade). I'm loosing about a pound a day. The diet is recommended for 40 days (to achieve maximum health and immune-strengthening benefits); 10 days minimum. I don't feel hungry. I had a headache the first 1.5 days, but now I'm perfectly fine, full of energy, and NOT HUNGRY!!!

Answer 2

I went on the grapefruit diet (the one where you eat eggs & bacon for breakfast, etc). I didn't follow it for a full 12 days. I did it Monday -Friday for about a month and lost 10lbs. It's been a month since I've gone back to eating normally, but still watching calories, and I have kept off the weight. The first couple of days of the diet is hard if you're a carb addict, but the cravings will subside and it'll get easier. I would recommend it to anyone. As far as a liquid diet goes, those may work, but I have to eat food!

Answer 3

when i mention a book everyone ignores it b/c they don't want to read a nutrition book. But this book is so informative and helpful it is like a good page turner you won't want to put it down.

This book is for a healthy life . But you can lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks in a healthy way. If you or anyone have any questions about this book email me at [e-mail]

Answer 4

I never had success on the grapefruit diet. I have had success with the lemonade diet. Definately GREAT to jumpstart. I did. You can use it for 10-40 days. I suggest 10 for your first time. Really look into it. You can't imagine how great you will feel!!!!
