Grapefruit Diet : Verdict
Grapefruit does not
contain any fat burning properties and all weight that is
lost is due to the diets 800-1000 calorie intake. Grapefruit
is a healthy fruit which is fat free and low in calories but

after a short-term plan like this the cabbage soup diet is
better version. Though with both the weight soon returns.
