3day grapefruit dietThe grapefruit diet is based on the fact that the delicious fruit contains a "magical" ingredient that, combined with proteins, leads to burning fats and losing weight. It is a diet renowned for it rapid weight loss, but, unfortunately, the loss is done especially due to the loss of water in tissues and not on fat. The diet promises a weight loss of approximately 5 kilograms in 12 days, but in the plan of this diet nothing on weight control on the long term is mentioned.Allowed food productsIn the morning, at lunch, in the evening and before going to bed consume a small variety of food. Drink black coffee and a lot of water during the entire day.Here is an example of a daily menu: Breakfast: - two boiled eggs - two slices of ham - black coffee - half a grapefruit Lunch: - vegetable salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, lettuce) with chicken, pork or beef (in any quantity) - provided it isn't deep fried - 1/2 grapefruit or a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice Dinner: - red and green vegetables (except for peas, potatoes, dried beans, corn) - beef or fish of an unlimited quantity - no deep fry - 1/2 grapefruit or a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice Proven efficiency of the grapefruit dietThis diet is, actually, low in carbohydrates, and the protein intake is moderate. Thus, we are dealing with a low calorie diet - it contains around 800 to 1000 calories a day. You might say that the presence of the grapefruit in this diet has no part in the weight loss process. Still, there have been studies that have proven that adding half a grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice to a meal with a normal content of calories has led to weight loss - 3 kg in 12 weeks (certain subjects lost up to 10 kg). The explication provided by the scientists refers to the fact that introducing grapefruit to healthy meals reduces the levels of insulin and actually leads to a small weight loss.Why grapefruit?The grapefruit is a nutritious fruit with a low calorie content - 66-84 calories - rich in vitamin C and vegetal fibers. All these qualities, besides the fact that is has a low glycemic index, recommend it as a "fat burner" and there is no mystery to this. Still, some scientists say that this fruit may contain certain special enzymes that help burn fats. The truth may be somewhere in the middle. In any case, if you want to lose weight fast, you can follow this type of diet, and the grapefruit you need to consume during it can be nothing but helpful, being also very healthy.
