Scott & White Hospital is the clinical education center for The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center College of Medicine. Which would explain why Scott & White has vehemently denied any connection to this diet - which is a silly spin on the classic fad grapefruit diet. This diet has remained popular thanks to its promise to lose ten pounds in ten days, with rules like “eat until you are stuffed” and "fat does not form fat, it helps burn it. Fry foods in butter.” This program has also been wrongly attributed to the Mayo Clinic. The details:
BREAKFAST
1/2 grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
2 eggs any style
1 slice bacon
LUNCH
1/2 grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
Salad. (Full-fat dressing only)
Meat (whatever you like, as much as you want)
DINNER
1/2 grapefruit or juice (unsweetened)
Meat or Fish (whatever you like, as much as you want)
Green or red vegetables, cooked however you want.
BEDTIME SNACK
8 oz. tomato juice or skim milk
So you're looking at a modified low-carb approach, with no portion control. And no exercise. If you can't control your portions then you can't control your calories - in which case you won't lose any weight at all with this scheme. But even if you do - how will you keep it off in the long term?
