News Summary About The Atkins Grapefruit Diet
adminThere 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. 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. Hard to find information is a pretty good tip off that a con job is being perpetrated. 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? 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.
Here is what can be eaten in the induction phaseThese are the foods allowed in the Atkins diet Induction phase – sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:
An type of fish
Chicken, turkey and other fowl
Shellfish of any variety
Meat, such as beef and pork
Any style egg
All sorts of cheese
Vegetables
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. 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 phases of Atkins that allow grapefruit limit intake to below 8 grams of carbs of grapefruit per day. That’s a severe disagreement.
A smart person would immediately peruse the Atkins web site in search of the Atkins Grapefruit diet. It isn’t found there, and that turns off a lot of folks.
In general remember this. Any diet that relies too heavily on one food or food group is going to be unhealthy. The Atkins diet frowns on eating the way the Atkins Grapefruit Diet recommends.
