The Grapefruit Diet

Pros: You can eat a lot of fruit if you like Grapefruit.
Cons: Have to eat Grapefruit even if you don't like it.

Pros: Give me a minute to think about this..
Cons: The entire diet is rediculous

I am what the world would call a "yo-yo" dieter. Through my mid-teen years and into my early twenties, I had anorexia. I topped the scales at a whopping 98lbs. After getting pregnant with my first daughter I stopped and ate as I was told to by my doctor ...

Pros: You will lose weight. It takes no brains to follow.
Cons: You will not keep off the weight. You will slow down your metabolism.

If you have grapefruit for brains, this might be a great diet for you. After all, you are what you eat and most of what you eat here is grapefruit - morning, noon and night.

Okay, before we go any further, here's the diet...
What you eat:...

Pros: Usually works for short term weight-loss
Cons: Doesn't stay off, some versions actually dangerous, grapefruit just isn't a magical fruit

Every dieter, at one point or another, has been told to consume grapefruit. For some reason, grapefruit is believed by some to contain magical “fat burning” properties. The Grapefruit Diet takes this belief to a new high (or low, if you’re a...

Pros: it works - you can loose weight
Cons: grapefruit juice tastes bad and leaves an aftertaste!

Let me preface this opinion by saying that I can only speak from my experience with this diet. I am not a doctor or a dietian. If you have any doubts, questions, or concerns about this diet -- talk to your doctor.

The grapefruit diet is very...

Pros: None
Cons: yucky taste, doesn't work

Okay, first off, grapefruit, for me, didn't burn any extra calories and as I sit here, having finally lost all my weight (I went from 244lbs to 155lbs) I can put the figures on paper and see that it doesn't make sense.

A normal person is...

Pros: claimed rapid weight loss
Cons: eating grapefruit

Like a lot of people out there, I am constantly on a mission to find the diet to solve all of my weight loss needs. When I heard about the Grapefruit diet from a friend I immediately got excited. I suppose I am not cynical enough when it comes to...

Pros: easy, fast results, and no drugs
Cons: get your Doctors ok first

My Dr. gave me a copy of this diet along with several others and so far this is the only one I can follow and lose weight on.

All the other diets out there can be hard to follow especially if you are on a tight schedule. Preparing meals to...

Pros: It does indeed make you lose the weight very quickly
Cons: You will put it on just as quickly (maybe more so) when you go off of it. And may do your body serious harm in the process.

The Grapefruit Diet, in all of its myriad forms, is one of those plans which sounds good on paper, but which, under hard scrutiny, really offers nothing more than a standard low-fat, low sugar diet.

The main claim to fame of the grapefruit...

Pros: none
Cons: it's unhealthy to eat so much of the same food, you need to have a balanced diet and exercise

The "Grapefruit Diet"??? Give me a break!! Why are americans so darned LAZY nowadays, looking for miracle cures for everything... No one wants to face the simple truth that if you eat well balanced meals, take everything in moderation, and get...

Pros: did see results...on other people
Cons: grapefruit is bitter

I figure it was only a matter of time when this diet craze hit the retail store where I work last year. Wow !!! Everyone was buzzing about all the weight they were saying they could lose. I like lot's of others, would love to lose a few extra pounds....

Pros: none
Cons: not healthy

Out of desperation to lose weight I decided to try the grapefruit diet. I figured it had to be easy since it was so limited. I did lose a few pounds but it was so hard to force myself to eat eggs everyday that I finally gave up. I also feel because of...

Pros: Easy concepts, lots of veggies
Cons: Tough diet; fewer menu choices; no carbohydrates

I decided to try this diet after one of my bosses tried it and lost a great deal of weight (about 45 pounds). However, he had great motivation because his family had a history of heart disease. At age 45, he wanted to be as slender as possible.
...

Pros: Lose weight, kinda fast.
Cons: Limited food selection

Well, I would first like to say that there are two types of the grapefruit diet. One of them is stupid and is not wise to follow. The other is good and pretty enjoyable. It cut out the problem of what am I going to eat. I was a vegetarian for 14 years,...

Pros: Some Weight Loss
Cons: Juice is horrible, unhealthy and not realistic

Last year I went on this diet and lost a couple of pounds. Let me tell you of all the diets I have tried this one was the worst, and just so you know I have tried; Weight Watchers, Covert Bailey's Fit or Fat, Chicagoland Weight Loss Centers, Jenny Craig,...
