No diet is completely "safe". To determine what is safe for your body you would need to see your general practitioner and have tests done to make sure you are being safe on a new diet. All diets deprive yoour body of essential nutrients and replace them with others. The grapefruit diet, in particular, has it's hazards as it is a very low calroie diet and your body needs a minimum of 1200 calories a day just to funtion. If you lay in bed all day, your body uses 1400 calories, the grapefruit diet simply does not afford enough calories to be safe in the long term.

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! You can find more reviews online at websites such as dietsinreview.com.
