Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain which aids digestion and will act as an “anti-aging agent”. There are 66 calories in 100 grams of Pineapple.

Shortcoming
The 14 day (even 10 day) grapefruit and pineapple diet is dangerous. Why? It’s too restrictive. You’ll be missing out on so many important vitamins, minerals, lipids and proteins. Do not do this! You are going to get tired easily in your daily activities. This restrictive diet will be responsible for a significant muscle wasting and will disrupt both your metabolism and your cardiovascular system.
Truth
The common idea that this type of exclusive fruit diet has fattening properties is not scientifically proven. For most people, this diet ends in failure. After following this diet you will probably regain the weight you lost, plus some more!
