How It Works
This low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein diet with grapefruit booster is a great way to see results quickly!

A study published in 2006 and funded by the Florida Department of Citrus found that the addition of a half grapefruit or 4 ounces of juice with meals resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 pounds in 12 weeks, with some participants losing 10 pounds. Researchers suspect the addition of grapefruit to the otherwise healthy meals reduced insulin levels and promoted a small weight loss. Study participants also "slightly enhanced" their physical activity, which could also explain the weight loss.


Protien is needed for your muscles and your body has to burn more energy to break down protiens. By restricting carbohydrates drastically to a mere fraction of that found in the typical American diet, the body goes into a state of ketosis, which means it burns its own fat for fuel. So instead of relying on the carbohydrate-rich items you might typically consume for energy, and leaving your fat stores just where they were before (alas, the hips, belly, and thunder thighs are popular fat-gathering spots), your fat stores become a primary energy source. The purported result: weight loss.

Eating every meal is vital it keeps your body from thinking it is going into starvation mode.

The reason after 12 days you change up your diet to a calorie based diet for 2 days is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

This diet is very simple and has great results. If you cheat you only cheat your own results!

Dieters who want more than 14 days of monotony must wait two days before starting the diet again. (During your 2 days still keep calories below your ideal weight goal. If you want to be 150#s your calories should

not be more than 1500 calories per day. Eat anything you want for these 2 days just keep calories below your calorie threshold. (Ideal weight x 10 = Daily Calorie intake) 150# x 10 = 1,500 calories. Then restart another 14 day cycle - 30 Mininutes of exercise is recommended daily. Remember that muscle burns fat so exercise more and loose more weight.
