At the moment Iam eating Grapefruit at least once a day. I don't think I could eat it with every meal though.

....and I am sure that you do...great review. I think I've tried them all including the "grapefruit diet." The results? Not any more or less than any other diet.

Barbara Jo -
Good point - and I may have skimmed over some of the value of the grapefruid SEED extract, which has several pertinent attributes. Unfortunately neither the rind or the seed are generally consumed (especially on THIS diet), and so I just skipped that part, which may have been an inaccurate ommission on my part :) Good point!

Hey Mom! (Reply to this comment)

I rated you HR on this because as always, your work is outstanding and I don't believe in fad diets. I think that they are dangerous. You may remember my take on my Atkins review and my comments on yours.
Ironically, I have been on a Candida Cleanse, under the supervision of professional health care practioners. This is an anti-yeast diet due to yeast overgrowth.
After 2 months, I had to start anti-fungal supplements. I am now taking a formula that is partly comprised of grapefruit seed extract. I never take anything without researching it thoroughly and here is what I came up with. My sources were a few books, various sites on the web and discussions with a few people that I trust in the medical field.
Here is what I have found:
It was discovered that Grapefruit seed extract and pulp are mold inhibitors. They also both help balance yeast.
We all know that yeast is a catalyst that causes things to rise. We all have yeast in our bodies, some more excessive than others. I believe based on what I have read, that when one diets on grapfruit, they are killing off yeast. As the yeast dies off, weight will drop. Yeast creates bloating of the cells.
My purpose is not to contradict you but rather to provide a possibility that there may be some truth to the benefits of grapefruit.
No matter what though, the grapefruit diet is to me, unhealthy.

Cabbage and Flatuence? (Reply to this comment)

Aw, Amy didn't your Mama tell you girls don't do that? It's not lady like! LOL
I have been on my diet for two months and have lost 15 pounds so far but I have been naughty. I ate four cheesecakes at the Cheesecake Factory. Then I went to Godiva Chocolates and ate more sweets. Well, back came five pounds!
My twenty year reunion is coming up in May 2001. Now I have another thing I am worrying about. I have to get my muscle tone in gear. Excuse me, I have to do my ABS exercise.
Great review Amy (BTW, I hate Grapefruit, yuck!)

Very a very dangerous diet addition, for people on certain medications, also. Be warned! Great review!

Something for NOTHING (Reply to this comment)
by AnniWitch
It's the American way. We want money without having to work hard, and we wanna be skinny and still eat like porcine units. NOT
Until people realize that the only way to loose weight and KEEP it off is to consume fewer calories and burn more, our nation is gonna get chunkier and chunkier. I am a fat chick who has finally wised up and realized that small changes in our diets, continued for a long period of time, will produce a much better result than instant weightloss and just as instant weight re-gain.
You did a wonderful job with your review. I know about some of those diet debunking sites, and its hilarious what we will allow ourselves to believe if we are told that we can loose weight and not work at it!
