The Grapefruit Diet isn???t as extreme as the Master Cleanse, but the Grapefruit diet can take many forms. The bottom line is that you eat half a Grapefruit or an entire grapefruit before every meal during the diet. This is not to be confused with the Grapefruit Juice Diet, which only uses grapefruit juice or a 1 juice version a Juice Diet or Juice Cleanse.

Detox Diets
"For some reason, people think our bodies are full of all kinds of toxins," says dietitian Tara Gidus. Some detox diets, including "21 Pounds in 21 Days," call for "cleansing" with colonics. Translation: enemas. The problem with using them to clear the colon of waste: "it's not really waste at all," says Northwestern University gastroenterologist Alan Buchman. "What people describe as 'toxins' include the normal metabolic products of digestion and the normal bacteria that produce vitamin K and foli— acid-and other substances that keep the colon healthy.
The final word goes to James Hill, who runs the University of Colorado-based National Weight Loss Registry, which tracks dieters who have kept off 30 or more pounds for at least a year. What's their secret? They eat a low-fat diet and watch their total calories. They eat breakfast and weigh themselves often. And they get 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a day. No mention of maple syrup.
