Atkins Grapefruit Diet

There is a diet that really has nothing to do with the Atkins diet, called the Atkins Grapefruit diet, that combines elements of it’s famous namesake and an all grapefruit diet. Here is some information that shows the diet may be a fraud, or at least misleading.

First of all it’s pretty difficult to find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan. Smart people know that when someone is perpetrating a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over facts. This is what the Atkins grapefruit diet seems to do in an attempt to get people to associate it with two supposedly effective diets.

Is the Atkins grapefruit diet something that was found locked away in a safe by the late Dr. Atkins? Nope – the Atkins company doesn’t mention the diet on its web site, and the most critical phase of the famous diet called the Induction phase does not allow any fruit.

Here is what can be eaten in the induction phase – sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:

An type of fish

All fowl such as turkey and chicken

Any shellfish

Meat, such as beef and pork

Any style egg

All sorts of cheese

Any vegetable you can name

Any herbs and spices to make food more exciting

A variety of fats and oils including butter

Low carbohydrate beverages including diet soft drinks

Not a piece of fruit to be found. Grapefruit and other fruits such as fruit juices are specified in other phases of the Atkins diet for fat loss. But when compared to the amount of Grapefruit recommended on the Atkins Grapefruit Diet, again there is a disagreement.

There’s a lot of grapefruit in the Atkins grapefruit diet – up to 18 carbs. But the Atkins diet calls for no more than 7 grams of carbs in a day. the two diets just don’t mesh.

Most reasonable people would look directly at the Atkins site the moment they heard of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet. It starts to sound fishy when there’s no mention there.

Truth about diets review: Don’t forget the following. Any diet that relies too heavily on one food or food group is going to be unhealthy. The Atkins Grapefruit Diet is not associated with the Atkins diet, and may interfere with the results of the Atkins diet in its early phases.
