What is the opposite of turkey?
Grapefruit. Chickens are animals, grapefruits are plants. Or, part of them, at least. Chickens are feathered, grapefruit hafe thick yellowish dimpled skin. Chickens have meat, grapefruit has bad-tasting sour mush. Chickens can walk, grapefruit can only sit on a fruitbowl. Chickens probably won't stay on the fruitbowl for very long. Grapefruit has no choice. (Unless, perhaps if the chicken decided it liked grapefruit and was eating the grapefruit) Chickens are stupid. However, this is not applicable to grapefruit. See?

How to Follow the Hollywood Diet?
The Hollywood Diet is a fast-acting diet for people who are willing to put up with severe food restrictions in exchange for weight loss. It is also known as the grapefruit diet, and it used to be called the Mayo Clinic Diet, despite not having any affiliation with Mayo Clinic. The main part of the Hollywood Diet is drinking grapefruit juice or eating half of a grapefruit with every meal. Some variants of the diet involve ingesting nothing but grapefruit juice and grapefruit. The idea is that grapefruit has a fat-burning enzyme, so reducing caloric intake and eating grapefruit will lead to weight loss. The other aspect of the Hollywood Diet is maintaining a low-carb diet. Grapefruit works most efficiently with foods high in fat and protein, so dieters are encouraged to eat lots of protein and meat while restricting sweet fruit, grains, cereal, bread, and sugar. When people do the Hollywood Diet, they typically follow it for twelve days and then have a two-day break. When following the Hollywood Diet as a fasting diet, which is only drinking grapefruit juice, it is not recommended to follow the diet for too long. It can lead to stomach pain due to the acid in grapefruit, and the weight loss will quickly be put back once eating resumes. The fast should only last 3-4 days, followed by a few days of healthy eating after which the grapefruit diet can resume. This diet can lead to rapid weight loss. It was nicknamed the ten day, ten pound diet because people who followed it for ten days often lost ten pounds in that time frame. However, people who follow the diet by incorporating grapefruit into every meal can lose between three and ten pounds in twelve weeks. While the Hollywood Diet can produce big weight loss results, it's important to follow the diet safely and in moderation.
Can you eat grapefruit while on Zoloft?
Grapefruit juice acts as a potentiator when it comes to xanax. In other words, when the two are mixed, the xanax will hit you harder and much quicker than it would as prescribed by your doctor. So if you were prescribed xanax as a remedy for anxiety or panic attacks, it would probably just knock you out instead, especially since xanax already has a big "drowsy" side effect to it. Hope that helped answer your question.
What is in grapefruit that makes it interact with medicines?
A daily glass of grapefruit juice or half of a grapefruit for breakfast is normally considered a healthy diet choice: that grapefruit delivers vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. However, grapefruit can be dangerous if taken along with certain of the statin class of cholesterol-lowering prescription medicines.Grapefruit and grapefruit juice interact with multiple prescription medicines, and consuming grapefruit while on these medications can be dangerous. In fact, there are many medications that interact with grapefruit, including the cholesterol-lowering statins Zocor (simvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Pravachol (pravastatin).Which Medications Interact With Grapefruit?Grapefruit should be avoided (or minimized - best bet is to discuss with your doctor) when taking a surprisingly broad group of medicines. According to the FDA's Grapefruit Juice and Medicine May Not Mix, grapefruit can interfere with certain of the cholesterol-lowering statins as listed above, some blood-pressure medications, some antihistamines, as well as other drug classes.How Does Grapefruit Interact With Prescription Medicines?Essentially, the juice of grapefruit changes the absorption of certain drugs into the bloodstream. Katherine Zeratsky, a Mayo Clinic Nutritionist, explains, "Problems arise because chemicals in the fruit can interfere with the enzymes that break down (metabolize) the medication in your digestive system. As a result, the medication may stay in your body for too short or too long a time. A medication that's broken down too quickly won't have time to work. On the other hand, a medication that stays in the body too long can increase to potentially dangerous levels, causing serious side effects." For statins in particular, grapefruit juice increases the level of statin in the blood, to a potentially dangerous level.What If I Take My Prescription Hours After Eating Grapefruit?Though eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice hours before or after taking a prescription medicine seems a good strategy, it is not. Shiew Mei Huang, acting director of the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Clinical Pharmacology, explains, "Drinking grapefruit juice several hours before or several hours after you take your medicine may still be dangerous, so it's best to avoid or limit consuming grapefruit juice or fresh grapefruit when taking certain drugs.ConclusionFor those not on prescription medication of any sort, grapefruit and grapefruit juice are a terrific nutritional choice. But if you take any prescription medication - especially statins to lower cholesterol - you should avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, or at least discuss with your doctor.Did You Know?Grapefruit juice decreases the effectiveness of allergy medications like Allegra (fexofenadine) by inhibiting the absorption of the drug itself. It may be less effective with apple and orange juice as well, so the fexofenadine label states "do not take with fruit juices."

Where can I find reviews on the grapefruit diet?
The grapefruit diet seems to work decently in the short term, and cannot be used for the long term. However, the reason it most likely works in the short term (about two weeks) is the same reason eating Special K or another heavily restricted diet would work in the short term: you are severely reducing caloric intake. The average is 2000 calories, and a grapefruit diet seems to go for about 800 to 1000. You have to be careful with such a reduced calorie diet!
