Grapefruit Diet for weight loss

You can lose 4 kilos in 3 weeks. If you like citrus and tropical fruits, this diet is ideal for you. Plan the menu including grapefruits in your 2 meals daily. The grapefruit juice is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process- you can burn calories twice quicker than usual. You can execute The Grapefruit Diet at most for 3 weeks. If you decide that 4 kilos are not enough, you can start it again after a month brake. To make use of the fat-burning ability of grapefruits, eat flesh of a fruit but also "albedo" - a white layer under the peel – you can find there pectin that helps in digestion. Drink herbal tea and mineral, still water ( at least 1.5 liter daily) between meals. When you lose your weight, go to the second phase that will last for 3 weeks and will help you to maintain your weight. Then you can allow yourself to have bigger meals – increase a number of calories for 400 everyday.
