About the Pineapple Diet

By Monty Dayton

There are many different types of diets out there, but there might not be any diet that is harder to pin down than the pineapple diet. There are many versions of this diet around online, but even the real one is fairly restrictive. But there's no denying that there is a great deal of interest in this diet.

Every form of the pineapple diet obviously involves eating pineapple daily, if not at every meal. There are some versions that say only pineapple and ice water for as long as the diet takes place, while other versions also have tuna every single meal. Most versions are some combination between the two.

The Metzger Pineapple Diet is a fad diet, and because of that dieters still need to be cautious when undergoing this eating plan. Still, when the question goes to weight loss, the majority of dieters will see some great weight loss numbers following this plan.

Tuna is a great lean meat high in Omega-3s, protein, and low in calories. In addition to this, pineapple gives a ton of energy for a fruit. This, with water, guarantees a diet low in fat and salt. In addition to this, enzymes in the pineapple force the body to work harder to break it down, keeping the metabolism up. There are several concerns with this diet, however.

First of all, pineapple is a fruit that is high in sugar. In theory this could cause some concerns with diabetics who need to watch their sugar levels. Pineapple is also acidic, which could make it hard for some people to keep with the high levels of pineapple.

A common second concern with the pineapple diet is lack of nutritional balance. While pineapple and tuna are both very healthy foods, you're not going to get 100% of your daily vitamins from eating just that. A daily multi-vitamin is a very good idea.

Third, not all claims made about this weight loss plan have been proven. As with many fad diets, there's the claim from diet proponents, and then many of them simply aren't tested to be proved or disproved. This can be an issue for some people.

The pineapple diet might not be for everyone. But as far as fad diets go, this one actually does help dieters lose the weight they're seeking to cut. - 17269
