Pros

Pine Apples

Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium and Beta-carotene. Additionally, it contains pectin which acts as an antioxidant agent. 100 grams of grapefruit yields 49 calories. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain that aids digestion and would act as an "anti-aging agent". 100 grams of pineapple yields 66 calories. This diet is easy to follow and leads to a very fast weight loss.

Cons

The 14-day (even 10-day) grapefruit and pineapple diet is dangerous. Why? It's just too much restrictive. You will miss out on so many vital vitamins, minerals, lipids and proteins. Don't do this! You are going to tire easily in your daily activities. This restrictive diet will be responsible for an important muscle wasting and will disrupt both your metabolism and your cardiovascular system.

The truth

The common idea that this type of exclusive fruit diet has the property to eat fat is not scientifically proved. For most people, this diet ends in failure. After following this diet you will probably gain back all of the weight that you have lost, plus some!
