Answer:
The grapefruit diet is actually the Mayo clinic diet used to reduce weight quickly for people needing surgery... You can lose 10lbs in 3 day. Here is a version of it Breakfast 1/2 Grapefruit or juice (unsweetened) 2 eggs any style 2 slices of bacon any style Coffee or tea Lunch: 1/2 grapefruit or juice (unsweetened) Salad - with any dressing Meat - any style, any amount 1 cup coffee or tea Dinner: 1/2 grapefruit or juice (unsweetened) Meat - any style, any amount. (Fish may be substituted) Vegetables - any green, yellow or red (cooked in butter or any seasoning) or salad as above 1 cup coffee or tea Bedtime Snack: 1 cup tomato juice or skim milk Instructions: At any meal, you may eat until you are full, until you can't eat anymore. Don't eliminate anything from the diet; especially don't skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn up fat. The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning up process. Cut down on coffee. It affects the insulin balance and hinders the burning up process. Try to limit to one cup at mealtime. Do not eat between meals. If you eat the combinations of foods suggested, you will not get hungry. Note that the diet completely eliminates sugar & starches, which are lipids and form fat. Fat doesn't form fat; it helps burn it up. So you can fry foods in 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 of the proper combination of foods, the more you lose. You can lose 10 pounds in 10 days. There will be no loss for the first 4 days, but you should lose 5 pounds on the fifth day. Thereafter, you will lose 1-1/2 pounds every 2 days until you reach the proper weight. Doctor said that you could fry my chicken and fish.
