Grapefruit/Fruit Juice Diet

Some fad diets have an underlying priciple (such as eliminating carbohydrates) while others are mainly starvation. This particular diet just seems weird.

The Promise:

In 2 1/2 months you should lose 52 pounds…

The Rules:

• You must drink eight 8oz. glasses of water daily (64 oz. total
  per day).


• At any meal you may eat until you are full.


• You must eat the minimum listed at each meal. (yep, this diet
  list the minimum you should eat).


• You cannot eliminate anything from the diet. Especially the
  bacon at breakfast and the salads. You must eat the bacon and
  salads. These combinations of food burn the fat, omitting one part
  of the combination will cause the whole thing not to work.


• The grapefruit or fruit juice is important because it acts as
  a catalyst that starts the burning process. Don’t add or reduce
  the amount of grapefruit or juice.


• Cut down on coffee, it affects the insulin balance that
  hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup at meal time.
  


• Don’t eat between meals. If you eat the suggested foods you
  will not get hungry.


• You can fry food in butter and use butter generously on
  vegetables.


• Do not eat desserts, breads, 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 the more weight
  you will lose.


• Stay on the diet 12 days, then stop the diet for 2 days and
  repeat.
