Egg Grapefruit Diet

The diet mainly works, though, like any other fad diet, by restricting the amount and variety of food in order to control the amount of calories you take in.
Though the dieter is allowed to choose portion sizes in some categories, the diet provides a total of 800 calories per day. So, you’ll lose weight simply because your body needs about 1500-2000 calories to maintain your current weight.

 Like most fad diets, you will see results at the end of the 12-day period. You should see weightloss in the range of 8-12 pounds and possibly more. However, note that this is a short-term fix. If you continue on the diet beyond the 12-day period, your body will begin to adapt to the lower amount of calories it is being presented with.


The Meals
The meals in this diet are very regimented. The diet calls for the same three meals per day to be consumed over a continuous 12-day period:
Breakfast

• Half a grapefruit or 8 oz of grapefruit juice
• 2 eggs cooked any style
• 2 slices of bacon

Lunch

• Half a grapefruit or 8 oz of grapefruit juice
• Salad with your choice of dressing
• Meat of any type and amount

Dinner

• Half a grapefruit or 8 oz of grapefruit juice
• Salad with dressing
• Meat or fish any type and amount, cooked in any style
• Black coffee or tea

Other rules note that you should eat until you’re full, drink at least 64 oz of water per day, limit the amount of caffeine you take in and avoid all breads, desserts and potatoes. The diet also requires that you do not stray from the meal plan noted above, meaning no in-between-meals snacking of any kind.
