Crumple up and get ready to savor grapefruit at every meal. In The Grapefruit Solution, this citrus fruit is the secret to weight loss. But don’t panic: you can choose fruit, juice, or a supplemental version of this wonderful fruit. Grapefruit is so magical that simply adding it to your meal plan, says the diet, will lead to weight loss. The diet’s claim is that grapefruit contains a key compound that prevents excess dietary fats and carbohydrates from being absorbed. When eaten at least three times a day, grapefruit provides a feeling of fullness and reduces hunger. It will also lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
What makes The Grapefruit Solution different?
This diet promises to lose weight thanks to a single superfood, grapefruit. The plan claims to be even more effective when combined with any other diet (such as South Beach, Atkins, or Weight Watchers). Just don’t forget to live the grapefruit lifestyle and consume some variation of the wonderful citrus fruit with every meal.
What is the grapefruit solution?
The “Diet” consists of consuming grapefruit in addition to other healthy foods, instead of consuming grapefruit as the majority of your diet. Eating grapefruit is a committable addition to a healthy diet or eating plan that involves slow weight loss and permanent changes in eating and exercise habits.
Grapefruits can be included in most diet plans like Weight Watchers, The Zone, and Jenny Craig. If the diet prohibits fruit, you can take capsules instead of eating the whole fruit. This diet promises that no matter what plan you choose, grapefruit will help you lose weight. Even if you just add grapefruit without changing any other eating habits, you can still lose some weight.
A serving of grapefruit is half a grapefruit, an eight-ounce glass of grapefruit juice, or 2 CitraSens supplement tablets (or any other pure grapefruit supplement as described in the diet) at each meal. You can choose any form of grapefruit you like, as long as you eat at least one serving per meal every day.
Many helpful tips are offered for choosing, buying, sectioning, juicing, and consuming grapefruits. You can get information on where to buy special slicing knives, juicers, and other easy prep tools.
If you don’t like eating grapefruit naked, you can top the fruit with grape jam, aspartame and cinnamon, or a maraschino cherry. You can also try one or more of the plan’s grapefruit recipes.
A typical day’s breakfast might include low-fat yogurt sprinkled with low-fat granola. Lunch is a fruit salad with grapefruit or a green salad with raw vegetables. Dinner can be a casserole with vegetables, grains and beans, with a small green salad and fruit for dessert. Snack is a good thing. Choose snacks that are low in calories (between 30 and 60 calories) such as 1 whole grapefruit, a cup of fresh or canned fruit, or ½ cup of low-sugar whole-grain cereal.
And don’t ignore your sweet tooth. Satisfy those sugary cravings, if you can, by eating frozen fruit bars or other low-calorie or low-fat treats.
What are the weight loss expectations?
If you eat or drink grapefruit with every meal without any other changes to your diet or physical activity, you can lose up to ten pounds in three months. When you add grapefruit and follow the diet plan of your choice, you should lose one to two pounds per week. For health reasons, don’t lose more than three pounds per week.
Is exercise promoted?
You should incorporate a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise that you enjoy at least three days a week. By slowly increasing the time and intensity, you can work up to 40 minutes five days a week. The diet offers guidelines on how to incorporate exercise into your daily life and tips to keep moving. It also suggests the “ten commandments” of exercise, which include drinking plenty of water before, during and after exercise, exercising at your own pace and fitness level, and keeping a daily written record of your progress.
Are supplements recommended?
If you don’t want, won’t or can’t eat grapefruit or grapefruit juice, take a supplement instead. The supplement is highly concentrated, grapefruit powder and peel.
The pill form gives you over 40 times the benefits of eating a grapefruit. Take this pill three times a day, once with each meal. When buying the supplement, choose CitraSens or Grapefruit Solution to ensure it is pure grapefruit.
You should also take a multivitamin with minerals daily. If you don’t eat dairy, take a calcium supplement with breakfast. If you are eating a well-varied diet, you should have little need for supplements.
