As I get older I find it harder and harder to lose weight. Here is a diet plan that I've tried twice already:
| Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner |
| Day-1 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 slice of bread 1 cup of tea | 1 grapefruit tomato 1 cup of tea | tofu cucumber, carrot, celery salad with vinegrette dressing 1 cup of tea |
| Day-2 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 slice of bread 1 cup of tea | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 cup of tea | steak (80-100 g) tomato, celery salad with vinegrette dressing 1 cup of tea |
| Day-3 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 cup of tea | 1 grapefruit 1 slice of bread vege salad 1 cup of tea | tofu or chicken tomato, celery salad with vinegrette dressing 1 cup of tea |
| Day-4 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 cup of tea | 1 grapefruit 1 slice of bread vege salad 1 cup of tea | tofu cheese spinache 1 cup of tea |
| Day-5 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 slice f bread 1 cup of tea | vegetable 1 egg 1 slice of bread 1 cup of tea | fish vege salad 2 slices of bread 1 cup of tea |
| Day-6 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 slice of bread 1 cup of tea | fruit salad | steak (80 - 100 g) tomato, celery salad with vinegrette dressing 1 cup of tea |
| Day-7 | 1 grapefruit 1 egg 1 cup of tea | 1 grapefruit chicken breast cold cut tomato 1 cup of tea | vegetable soup or tomato or turkey vegetable 1 grapefruit 1 cup of tea |
The Results
For the first time I managed to lose 8 lbs (didn't have a body fat percentage weight), and the second try I managed to lose 5 lbs and 3% of body fat probably because I cheated in some of the meals.
How it Works?
I don't know the absolute details of why this diet works, however I believe there are factors:
- This diet is very low calories, probably less than 1000 calories per day.
- You eat two grapefruits per day which has some fat burning properties.
