Atkins Grapefruit Diet
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.
It’s a challenge to find clear cut information, such as a web site, for the Atkins grapefruit diet. Smart people know that when someone is perpetrating a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over facts. The Atkins grapefruit diet is purposely deceptive in its origin to convince people that it is a legitimate combination of two popular fad diets.
Is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or endorsed by the estate of the late Dr. Atkins? No, in fact the Induction phase of the Atkins diet is bereft of fruit, and there’s no mention of the grapefruit version on the Atkins web site.
Here is what can be eaten in the induction phase – sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:
Seafood
Chicken, turkey and other fowl
Shellfish of any variety
Meat, such as beef and pork
Any style egg
All sorts of cheese
Any vegetable you can name
Herbs and Spices
Fats and Oils
Low carbohydrate beverages including diet soft drinks
Unfortunately for the Atkins grapefruit diet, there no fruit. Grapefruit and other fruits such as fruit juices are specified in other phases of the Atkins diet for fat loss. The Atkins grapefruit diet, however, relies on grapefruit to a much greater degree than would be allowed in the original Atkins diet.
There’s a lot of grapefruit in the Atkins grapefruit diet – up to 18 carbs. Even the most generous phases of the Atkins diet, when it comes to grapefruit, recommends limiting intake to below 8 carbs per day. That’s a direct contradiction of one diet to the other.
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.
