Strict Diet Plan

What is the grapefruit diet plan? Long ago when I was a youngster I saw my father munching away on a grapefruit, and he skipped almost all his meals that day.  I asked my dad  "What are you doing?" and he told me with a sour face that he was on a the grapefruit diet plan, he looked kind of pale at the time.  Then like what every little squirt does, I interrogated him with a series of questions about his mysterious plan on how he was losing weight by eating a grapefruit.

I've heard many versions and they all sound the same, but my fathers main assumption is that the fruit contains some ingredient that will burn away the fat.  With my child imagination I was literally amazed at the idea that fat can be burned away, sounded painful but did it work? Not really, after a day or two he quickly got bored of eating grapefruits and went back to his regular man food diet; burgers, pizza and beer.

Many years after, around my mid 20's I was starting to gain weight. Nothing serious but i think it was noticeable to the females which was not good for a young stallion, so I decided to try the grapefruit diet plan that my father attempted ages ago.  I've done a really good job avoiding grapefruits most of my life, though i have tried grapefruit juice which tasted bad, but I have never really attempted to eat a real live grapefruit.  The first thing I noticed was that its not like peeling an orange, but I did my best to peel it like one and forgot to take off the skin.  I popped a grapefruit wedge into my mouth and was expecting the sweet flavor of a Sunkist orange, instead I was greeted with the really bitter taste of the grapefruit peeling, yuck.  Now I know why my father had such a sour face.  I ate the whole grapefruit and it was my last, I really didn't need to lose weight anyways.

Twenty more years, present time, I'm married, still lazy, really fat, and the perfect test subject for the new and improved grapefruit diet plan.  With the coming age of the Internet and new high tech diet plans, I searched and found over half a million websites that know something about the grapefruit diet plan, and from past experience I know that most of them are not true.  I've tried the grapefruit diet plan and here is the truth about the grapefruit diet plan, it kind of works, probably because I've eaten nothing else all day or I mixed it with some other low fat diet food like some sites suggest.  Honestly, I think I would of been better off eating a watermelon instead.  In my best opinion, just watch your portions, and enjoy the grapefruit with a healthy meal, if your consistent, you will lose weight.  One last thing, my wife did show me how to avoid the bitter taste by peeling all of the skin from a grapefruit, really not that bad once they're totally peeled.
