The grapefruit diet restricts intake of carbohydrates by removing foods rich in sugars, which includes even natural sugars from fruits, as well as fibre-rich foods like cereals, grains and vegetables. The diet is typically followed for 10 or 12 days, followed by a resting period of two days, when you don't follow the diet and instead prepare your body to get back to its normal dose of nutrition. This means that the diet promises to make you lose as many as four kilograms in just 10 days! This extreme low-carb diet encourages you to consume meals made up of grapefruit paired with foods high in dietary fat as well as meat, eggs and other protein-rich foods.
However, in the 1980s, it was re-popularised as the "10 Day 10 Pounds Off" diet. The grapefruit diet for weight loss is also known as the "Hollywood Diet" and was introduced in the United States during the 1930s. The grapefruit diet has been claimed to get you the results that you mean to see, without having to exercise or engage in any other physically intense activities. The extreme diet is obviously potentially dangerous, as eating such low amount of calories is akin to malnutrition and can result in serious deficiencies. The 10-day grapefruit diet has a very strict meal plan, which only delivers between 8 calories to the body per day.

The diet is based on the belief that grapefruit contains 'fat-melting' enzymes, or have similar fat burning properties, which make it a great weight loss food. The diet has been around since the 1930s and has many variations now, with all of them being low in carbohydrates and calories. One such weight loss fad diet, which has been around for some time is the grapefruit diet. The craze around these diets generally builds around anecdotal evidence of these claimed 'results' by a handful of people, until health experts and dietitians finally speak up and reinforce the basic rules of healthy eating and denounce crash diets completely. This generally happens when certain celebrities start talking about a particular diet, which they claim got them the desired results in a short period of time. Weight loss diets are very popular around the world and the popularity of various fad diets that promise to get you quick results, waxes and wanes.
