just hope you aren't on any form of medication for any medical conditions, cuz grapefruits messes with just about every kind of medicine, if you arent, then you r just fine!

For how long will this last? You would be depriving yourself of some nutrients. Not to do IMO except if you would be mixing it up with other meals like you listed above.

How long are you supposed to do it for?? If its like 1 week, its possible. Just wait till after April 8th.

I dont know why you are bothering yourself, you're already losing weight,so you're doing the right things.I should be the one on the diet

Dr. Ken Fujioka from Scripps Clinic in San Diego conducted a 12-week study of 100 obese men and women and found that consuming one-half grapefruit before meals resulted in an average weight loss of 3.6 pounds with some participants losing up to 10 pounds. Individuals who ate the grapefruit had significantly lower levels of insulin in their blood, which the researchers speculate resulted in the weight loss. The smaller the amount of insulin in the blood after a meal, the more efficiently the body uses food for energy rather than storing it as fat. The researchers further speculated that a natural plant compound in grapefruit, not the fiber content, was responsible for the weight loss since those who consumed grapefruit juice also lost weight despite the lack of fiber.

Diabetic patients are told to take grapefruit in the natural state as it helps in reducing blood sugar..even doctors in Naija are now telling their patients to take grapefruit 2 a day as it also helps in reducing cholesterol.
