The Grapefruit Diet is a crash diet that focuses on a very limited number of calories combined with the intake of half a grapefruit with each meal. Whilst it is true that it is possible to lose a lot of weight with this type of plan, it is also true that it cannot be the answer for any long term weight loss program due to its nutritional deficiencies.
The purpose of this article is therefore not to recommend the Grapefruit Diet in its original format but rather to introduce Grapefruit Solution, a Grapefruit Diet Pill based on the pulverization of a whole fruit into a single capsule.
Grapefruits have long been known for their properties to influence the digesting system. In fact, they are so good at this that they can even interact with some prescription medication and the recommendation for anyone who wants to integrate grapefruits into their daily diet must be to consult with his/her physician who can then easily prescribe a safe alternative in the rare cases when the medication previously prescribed is indeed affected by Grapefruits. As a matter of fact, anyone embarking on a diet should indeed have a chat with his/her physician.
So what is Grapefruit Solution?
Simply a whole grapefruit (peel, pulps, pips and juice) which made to fit into a small tablet. This process may sound incredible but this feast has indeed been made possible and here is how it’s done:
Organic Grapefruit Fruits are washed and then macerated (broken up) into a very fine puree. The resulting mixture is then slowly dried by a pharmaceutical grade process that uses extremely low temperatures to remove all of the water. The result is a fine powder suitable to be put into a capsule which technically can be considered as a food product rather than an additive (or a nutraceutical which is any food nutritionally enhanced with nutrients, vitamins or herbal supplements).
The good news is that in the pulverization process the enzyme responsible for the interaction with prescription drugs is completely removed rendering the tablet, thus making this tablet safer for consumption. The weight loss properties of Grapefruits were made public by various studies including one conducted by the Scripps institute. Indeed in this study, Dr. Ken Fujioka observed that when patients were given one Grapefruits with each one their meal, the weight loss they experienced was greater than with other patients who ate and exercised exactly the same way, but did not consume any of the grapefruits.
Said Dr. Fujioka: “For years people have talked about the grapefruit diet, and some even swear by it, but now, we have data that grapefruit helps weight loss.” And, “Our study participants maintained their daily eating habits and slightly enhanced their exercise routine; the only dietary change was the intake of Florida grapefruit and grapefruit juice.” In fact, patients who ate a grapefruit 3 times a day each all lost an average of 3.6 pounds and in some cases, these losses went as high as 10 pounds.”

In conclusion, the grapefruit is really one of nature’s wonder fruits. Packed with nutritional goodies, it is an arsenal of every thing good that nature has to offer and if you like the taste, rush to your local super market and make sure you come home with your shopping basket packed with it. If you don’t like the taste, or are worried about drug interaction, then Grapefruit Solution is definitely worth a try!
