One thing that you must keep in mind before
you start the grapefruit juice diet is that grapefruit juice interacts
negatively with many medications. Make sure to check with your doctor
before you start this or any other diet.
The Rules: You must drink eight 8oz.
glasses of water daily (64 oz. total per day). At any meal you may eat
until you are full. You must eat the minimum listed at each meal. You
cannot eliminate anything from the diet, especially the bacon at breakfast
and the salads. You must eat the bacon and salads. These combinations
of food burn the fat, omitting one part of the combination will cause
the whole thing not to work. The grapefruit or fruit juice is important
because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. Don't
add or reduce the amount of grapefruit or juice. Cut down on coffee,
it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try
to limit to 1 cup at meal time. Don't eat between meals. If you eat
the suggested foods you will not get hungry. You can fry food in butter
and use butter generously on vegetables. Do not eat desserts, breads,
and white vegetables or sweet potatoes. You may double or triple helpings
of meat, salad or vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed. The more you
eat the more weight you will lose. Stay on the diet 12 days, then stop
the diet for 2 days and repeat.

(I like the bedtime snack aspect of the grapefruit
juice diet. There's nothing worse than going to bed with your stomach
growling!)
