The Atkins Grapefruit diet seeks to cash in on the popularity of the fad grapefruit diet and the less fad but still fad Atkins diet, although it has nothing to do with the Atkins estate or company. A closer look into this diet shows that it may not be all it claims to be. See out fat loss plan.

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. This is what the Atkins grapefruit diet seems to do in an attempt to get people to associate it with two supposedly effective diets. Take a look at fat loss exercise plan.

Does the Atkins grapefruit diet have anything to do with the actual Atkins diet? 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.

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

[spin]Fish of all kinds
Flying game such as turkey and chicken
Shellfish of any variety
Meat, such as beef and pork
Every type of cooked egg including poached, scrambled and even fried
All sorts of cheese
All sorts of vegetables
A variety of herbs and spices
Butter, lard, any oils
Drinks low in carbohydrates such as diet soft drinks

Unfortunately for the Atkins grapefruit diet, there no fruit. Later phases of the Atkins diet do include limited amounts of fruits such as cantaloupe and even lemon juice, and the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases even specifically allow small quantities of grapefruit. But when compared to the amount of Grapefruit recommended on the Atkins Grapefruit Diet, again there is a disagreement.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet recommends a cup of grapefruit juice or a cup of grapefruit sections, with 8 and 18 carbs respectively. But the Atkins diet calls for no more than 7 grams of carbs in a day. That’s a severe disagreement.

Most reasonable people would look directly at the Atkins site the moment they heard 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.

Don’t forget the following. Only fad diets – diets to be followed for short periods – rely heavily on one food because eating that way isn’t healthy. The philosophy of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet is counter to that of the Atkins diet. Click here to visit fat loss workout plan.
