Grapefruit Diet
What do you think about the Grapefruit Diet which is also known as the "Hollywood Diet" and is considered a big fad?
This was one of the biggest fad diets ever, but some of the concept is good. What is good is a diet with fruits (not just grapefruit) as it will help the body flush itself of toxins, however thinking that the grapefruit of itself makes you lose weight is all bologna.
Maybe this is why celebrities are looking so anorexic these days! I do not agree with this latest diet fad. To lose weight, I would recommend that the person should visit a doctor, who will determine how much weight you need lose, in order to be healthy. Having an expert opinion (from your doctor) is a step in the right direction. Eating a sensible diet and not starving yourself, is the best way to lose weight.
Rather off topic, but... I have heard that the grapefruit assists in lowering high blood pressure. One of my friends suffers from high blood pressure and was fed up of taking medication to control it. She met a doctor while on vacation in Hawaii and he suggested to her, to try incorporating grapefruits in her diet, to assist with her high blood pressure. She is a lot happier, healthier and most of all, her blood pressure is much lower than it used to be! |
