Get ready to taste grapefruit with every meal you eat. On The Grapefruit Solution, this citrus fruit is the secret to weight loss. But don’t fret: You can choose a fruit, juice, or supplement version of this miracle fruit. Grapefruit is so magical that according to the diet, just adding it to your diet will help you lose weight. The diet claims that grapes contain a key compound that prevents excess dietary fat and carbohydrates from being absorbed. When you eat it at least three times a day, grapefruit makes you feel full and reduces appetite. You’ll also lower cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
What makes grapefruit solution different?
This diet promises weight loss thanks to just one superfood, grapefruit. The plan claims to be even more effective when you combine it with another diet (such as South Beach, Atkins, or Weight Watchers). Just don’t forget to live the grapefruit lifestyle and eat some variety of the wonderful citrus with every meal.
What is Grape Solution?
The “diet” involves consuming grapefruit in addition to other healthy foods, rather than consuming grapefruit as the bulk of your diet. Eating grapefruit is an addition to a healthy eating plan or diet that you can commit to and that includes slow weight loss and permanent changes in eating and exercise habits.
Grapefruit can be included in most diet plans such as Weight Watchers, The Zone and Jenny Craig. If the diet has fruit restrictions, you can take capsules instead of eating whole fruit. This diet promises that, no matter which plan you choose, grapefruit will help you lose weight. Even if you just include grapefruit without changing other eating habits, you can still lose some weight.
One serving of grapefruit is one-half to one grapefruit, an eight-ounce glass of grapefruit juice, or 2 tablets of CitraSens supplement (or any other pure grapefruit supplement prescribed by the diet) at each meal. You can choose any type of grapefruit you like, as long as you eat at least one serving per day.
Here are several helpful hints for choosing, buying, slicing, juicing, and consuming grapefruit. You can learn where to buy special sectioning knives, juicers, and other handy preparation tools.
If you don’t enjoy eating grapes naked, you can top the fruit with grape jam, aspartame and cinnamon, or maraschino cherries. You might also want to try one or more of the plan’s grapefruit recipes.
A typical day’s breakfast can include low-fat yogurt sprinkled with low-fat granola. Lunch consists of a fruit salad with some grapes or a green salad with raw vegetables. Dinner can be a casserole with vegetables, grains and beans, with a small green salad, and a piece of fruit for dessert. Having breakfast is a good thing. Choose snacks that are low in calories (between 30 and 60 calories) such as 1 whole grapefruit, 1 cup of fresh or canned fruit, or ½-cup of low-sugar, whole-grain cereal.
And don’t overlook your sweet tooth. If you can, satisfy those sweet cravings by having frozen fruit bars or other low-calorie or low-fat treats.
What are the weight loss expectations?
If you eat or drink grapefruit with each meal without making any other dietary or physical activity changes, you can lose up to ten pounds in three months. When you include grapefruit and follow the diet plan of your choice, you should lose one to two pounds per week. For health reasons, don’t lose more than three pounds a week.
Is exercise encouraged?
You should include at least 20 minutes of exercise that you enjoy at least three days each week. By gradually increasing the time and intensity, you can work your way up to 40 minutes, five days per week. The diet provides guidelines on how to incorporate exercise into your daily life and tips to keep you moving. It also suggests the “Ten Commandments” of exercise, which include drinking plenty of water before, during and after exercise, exercising at your own pace and fitness level, and keeping a daily written record of your progress.
Are Supplements Recommended?
If you can’t or don’t eat grapefruit or grapefruit juice, take a supplement instead. The supplement is highly concentrated, powdered grapefruit and peel.
You get 40 times more benefits than eating grapes in pill form. Take this tablet three times daily, once with each meal. When you buy a supplement, choose CitraSens or Grapefruit Solution to be sure it’s pure grapefruit.
You should also take a multivitamin with minerals daily. If you don’t eat dairy products, take a calcium supplement with breakfast. If you’re eating a well-varied diet, you should have little need for supplements.
