Grapefruit diet

Anybody tried this?

All you have to do is eat half a grapefruit with every meal.

It works by stopping you getting a big insulin rush after eating and it also aids in the conversion of food to energy.

I've been trying for about a month and i've lost half a stone and put 20kg on my bench press.

And of course everyone knows the benefits of eating fruit everyday.

Let me know how you get on.

OK, Ed, I'm assuming this isn't a time-delayed April Fool's joke. :D

Could you get into the biochemistry behind this a little? I remember from your previous post (raw meat and citric acid cycles inthe body) that you have a deep background in nutrition. I have enough layman's knowledge of nutrition (more than Ori Hofmekler :wink: but less than Bill Fox) to be dangerous, but I did start out as a chemical engineering major in college, so my chemistry is still pretty good.

If it's true, it's an interesting idea. Plus, I love grapefruit!

Sorry man, this is the first thread I have started, I just joined today lol.

Is their someone else called risingsun on here?

I don't have the article out in front of me so I can't tell about the chemistry behind it except that I remember it saying it also stops toxins from being broken down in the stomach thus increasing the potency of any drug taken.

Peace.

Don't be so sure. Not enough to delete yet, but it sure smells funny to me.

I promise you this is a genuine thread.

Do a search on the internet and see what you find.

I'm not gonna mess around on this forum, I promise.

Peace, Edward Metcalfe

That's why I didn't delete it. There are those 10-15 years uot of touch with nutrtional research that see this kind of thing and wonder. Let's end this thread by saying the grapefruit diet is total crap, a nutrtional nightmare for any athlete, and move on.

Do some internet research on the Paleo diet, The NHE diet (extique.com), the Warrior diet, the Athlete's zone.
