Points to Note

• Drinking the water is very important. Cold water speeds up your metabolism, this in turn will burn fat quicker.
• No fruit except the grapefruit, you must begin each meal with the grapefruit. It acts as a catalyst to start fat burning.
• Do not omit anything – it is the food combination that keeps you feeling full and burns the fat.
• No eating between meals
• No puddings, rice, potatoes, bread, pasta
• You can fry your eggs and have your vegetables swimming in butter, for fat does not form fat in the body, fat actually burns fat.
• If you consume alcohol drink dry wine or have spirits straight up or with soda water.

This diet is comparatively painless and it works. If your doubtful consult your doctor before embarking on this regime. Remember: for the first four days your scales will show no change, then on the fifth day you should find that you have lost 5 pounds. After that you will loose a pound per day until your 14th day. Determined dieters who perservere beyond that will loose approximately 1 pound every second day.

Note: This is basically the induction phase of the Atkins diet. The addition of the grapefruit that works as a catalyst was added by the Dave Prowse Fitness Centre of London SE1.
