DIET and NUTRITION
The Grapefruit Active Lifestyle Meal Plan focuses on adding grapefruit or 100 percent grapefruit juice into your daily diet along with whole grains, vegetables, lean protein and low-fat dairy. This does not mean you will be eating grapefruit at every meal though. You may simply find a grapefruit element in a couple of meals and each day you have a grapefruit snack from the snack list. The meal plans you can choose from include the standard, vegetarian and vegan. You won’t have to track calories on the program because the meals are already calculated for you. The program does provide 1,600 calories each day and the program is built around the grapefruit due to its bold and invigorating flavor. Grapefruit also provides natural energy which can keep you going throughout the day. There aren’t many specifics to this eating plan as the book just jumps right into the menu. Below is a reflection of a day of eating on the standard plan, which includes dairy, meat, fish and eggs:
Breakfast – Quick oatmeal crisp with yogurt
Snack 1 – Cinnamon crisps with milk
Lunch – Greek salad with grilled chicken and pita croutons
Snack 2 – ½ medium grapefruit
Dinner – Spicy fish tacos with grapefruit cabbage slaw
EXERCISE
Although no specific exercise guidance is given, the author does state that the average person should strive for 150 minutes of activity each week as part of a healthy lifestyle. You should focus on activities you enjoy so that you will be more likely to stick with them long term.
