How does it work?
The grapefruit diet is a protein-rich meal plan with a primary focus of grapefruit or grapefruit juice at every meal. Used for more than 80 years, the diet's goal is quick weight loss—it's a 12-day plan. While several versions of the diet exist, the majority of them include a daily caloric intake of less than 1,000 calories.
Under the guidelines of the diet, the foods can be prepared with as many spices, salad dressings, or butter as the person would like. Some caveats of the diet include no extremely hot or extremely cold foods, nothing prepared in aluminum pans, and keeping "protein meals" and "starch meals" at least four hours apart.
