Grapefruit diet

The Grapefruit diet is a weight loss plan that incorporates eating half a grapefruit with each meal and following a severely restrictive low-calorie diet.

Like many other 'fad' diets, rumors have circulated that this diet is associated with a major medical center, but this is untrue.</P> The grapefruit diet has not been recommended by medical professionals as a weight loss plan and is not considered to be a healthy way to lose weight.

Rather, it is an example of an unhealthy, 'fad' diet that may contribute to the cycle of weight loss and gain known as 'yo-yo' dieting.
