The Atkins Grapefruit diet seeks to cash in on the popularity of the fad grapefruit diet and the less fad but still fad Atkins diet, although it has nothing to do with the Atkins estate or company. Here is some information that shows the diet may be a fraud, or at least misleading.
It's a challenge to find clear cut information, such as a web site, for the Atkins grapefruit diet. Hard to find information is a pretty good tip off that a con job is being perpetrated. The Atkins grapefruit diet is purposely deceptive in its origin to convince people that it is a legitimate combination of two popular fad diets.
Does the Atkins grapefruit diet have anything to do with the actual Atkins diet? No, in fact the Induction phase of the Atkins diet is bereft of fruit, and there's no mention of the grapefruit version on the Atkins web site.
The induction phase includes the following foods– sorry Atkins grapefruit diet, no fruit here:
An type of fish
Chicken, turkey and other fowl
All sorts of shellfish
Any meat such as beef or pork
Eggs cooked in any style including fried
All sorts of cheese
Vegetables
Any herbs and spices to make food more exciting
A variety of fats and oils including butter
Drinks low in carbohydrates such as diet soft drinks
Not a piece of fruit to be found. Later phases of the diet do allow fruit juice and even specifically mention grapefruit. But when compared to the amount of Grapefruit recommended on the Atkins Grapefruit Diet, again there is a disagreement.
The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not endorsed by the estate of Dr. Atkins, that plays on the popularity of the grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet name. Don't look now, but it may not be what people hope. First of all it's pretty difficult to find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan. Smart people know that when someone is perpetrating a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over facts.
The cup of grapefruit juice offered by the Atkins Grapefruit diet has 8 grams of carbs while the cup of grapefruit sections it mentions has 18 carbs. But the Atkins diet calls for no more than 7 grams of carbs in a day. That's a direct contradiction of one diet to the other.
When they hear about the Atkins grapefruit diet people should naturally visit the Atkins web site to read more about it. When they found no mention of that diet on the site, a red light would go off and an alarm would sound.
