The 12 Days Grapefruit diet
This diet is based on the premise that grapefruit has fat burning
properties. The grapefruit diet lasts 12 days, but if an individual
wants to continue they must take at least two days off before
doing so. While there is no hard evidence that grapefruit burns
fat, the diet does have some success stories.
Most meals are accompanied by grapefruit. It is also recommended
that participants drink about 8 glasses of water per day. This
regimented diet does not allow most complex carbs, and doesn't
allow for snacking in between meals. However, the consumption
of most vegetables is encouraged and you are allowed to prepare
them in generous amounts of butter.
