Is The Atkins Grapefruit Diet Genuine?

by Joy Mitchell

The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not supported by
the firm of Dr. Atkins, that plays on the fame of the
grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet name. A closer
inspection of this diet shows that it may not be all it
purports to be.

First of all, it's pretty difficult to find information on
the Atkins grapefruit diet plan. 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 persuade people to
associate it with two supposedly effective diets.

So, is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or
supported by the firm of the late Dr. Atkins? The answer is
a resounding 'no', not only is there no mention of the
Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins website, but there is
no fruit of at all mentioned in the list of permitted foods
in the Atkins diet Induction phase.

The induction stage recommends the following foodstuffs:

Fish of all species. All fowl such as turkey and chicken.
All shellfish. All meat such as beef or pork. Eggs cooked in
all styles, including fried. Cheese. Vegetables. Herbs and
Spices. Fats and Oils. Low carbohydrate beverages, including
diet sodas.

Notice something? No fruit is mentioned on that list. Later
phases of the Atkins diet do recommend 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, once more there is a disagreement.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet advocates a cup of grapefruit
juice or a cup of grapefruit sections, with 8 and 18 carbs
respectively. Even the most generous stages of the Atkins
diet advocates limiting grapefruit intake to less than 8
carbs a day. That's a direct contradiction of one diet with
the other

Most reasonable people would take a look at the Atkins
website itself the moment they heard of the Atkins
Grapefruit Diet. If they saw no mention of that diet on the
website, then a red light would flash and an alarm bell
would sound.

In general, you should remember this: any diet that relies
too heavily on one food, such as grapefruit on a grapefruit
diet, is not healthy for any but very short periods. The
Atkins Grapefruit Diet is not associated with the Atkins
diet, and may interfere with the results of the Atkins diet
in its early stages.
