Pride Of The Web –

The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not endorsed by the estate of Dr. Atkins, that plays on the popularity of the grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet name. A closer look into this diet shows that it may not be all it claims to be.

First of all it’s pretty difficult to find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan. Hard to find information is a pretty good tip off that a con job is being perpetrated. This possible con does it’s best to make people assume it has something to do with the official Atkins diet.

Is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or endorsed by the estate of the late Dr. Atkins? The answer is no, not only is there no mention of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins web site, but there is no fruit of any kind mentioned in the list of allowed foods in the Atkins diet Induction phase.

These are the foods allowed in the Atkins diet Induction phase – sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:

An type of fish

All fowl such as turkey and chicken

Any shellfish

Any meat such as beef or pork

Any style egg

Cheese

All sorts of vegetables

Any herbs and spices to make food more exciting

A variety of fats and oils including butter

Water and other low carb drinks including diet soda

Unfortunately for the Atkins grapefruit diet, there no fruit. Later phases of the Atkins diet for fat loss do allow fruit juice and even specifically mention grapefruit. The Atkins grapefruit diet, however, relies on grapefruit to a much greater degree than would be allowed in the original Atkins diet.

The cup of grapefruit juice offered by the Atkins Grapefruit diet has 8 grams of carbs while the cup of grapefruit sections it mentions has 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.

A smart person would immediately peruse the Atkins web site in search of the Atkins Grapefruit diet. When they found no mention of that diet on the site, a red light would go off and an alarm would sound.

Truth about diets review: In general remember this. Any diet that relies too heavily on one food, such as grapefruit on a grapefruit diet, is unhealthy in any but extremely short periods. The philosophy of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet is counter to that of the Atkins diet.
