Grapefruit diet : a quick way to lose weight

Grapefruit diet : The pineapple grapefruit diet is a variant of the Hollywood system.

Thus this diet is based on exclusion (you have to eat only a specific kind of food).

I. Basics of this vegetarian diet

As its name suggests, this scheme is based on the exclusive consumption of pineapple and grapefruit, until satiety.

How do you lose weight with this diet ?

Eat those two fruits indefinitely. Because of the important restriction, you will greatly reduce energy intake, and thus your weight will decrease.

The grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium and beta carotene. Moreover, its white flesh contains pectin, excellent anti-oxidant, It contains fructose (sugar low glycemic index).

The pineapple has anti-cellulite and anti-water retention effects.

Apart from the quick weight loss, there is no other benefit from the the pineapple grapefruit diet (or grapefruit cure).

III.> Weaknesses

Only do it on a fairly short period of time. Otherwise, the grapefruit pineapple diet is strongly discouraged (like the Hollywood system) mainly due to the risk of deficiencies that it induces.

Weight loss is very quick due to extremely low calorie intake, but it exposes you to multiple deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and proteins.

Even if weight loss is rapid and important, it should be noted that the pineapple-grapefruit diet is dangerous for health. It brings no protein in your body, causing deficiencies and can disrupt your cardiovascular system. Use this diet only on the very short term.

Indeed, the pineapple grapefruit diet is an example of extreme diets. It brings almost no protein metabolism. It therefore causes a melting of your muscle mass and disrupts your cardiovascular system, which can be very dangerous for your health!

Actually, with this diet, you will feel exhausted quickly during your daily activities, because of insufficient daily energy intake.

In addition, you will not want to watch others eat traditional dishes around you.

Because of the lack of balance and the monotony of the diet, you may almost inevitably abandon the pineapple-grapefruit diet, before regaining weight rapidly. Not only the weight loss occurred before the abandonment of the plan is lost, but again, you put your health at risk over the medium term.



> DID YOU KNOW IT?

a) It is often believed that pineapple and grapefruit are "fat burners" for slimming, however it is not scientifically proven that any food coud do that.

b) The pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain. This enzyme promotes the degradation of proteins (in a test lab). Fans of this exotic fruit soon proclaim that bromelain could "burn" fat from their adipose tissue, wrongly.

c) 100 grams of pineapple bring you 66 calories.

d) 100 grams of grapefruit bring you 49 calories.
