Pineapple Diet Overview

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.

Eating pineapple is obviously the cornerstone of this diet and eating plan. Pineapple is your snack, it's the main part of every meal, and only tuna and ice water act as supplements. There are many different versions of the pineapple diet, but all of them are based around the same ideas.

Is the pineapple diet a fad diet? Definitely. This eating plan is a fad diet and should be undertaken carefully. With the majority of people, this diet will definitely work as far as weight loss.

The pineapple & tuna version of this idea tends to especially be effective because tuna is a great lean meat high in Omega-3s, protein, and low in calories. This is a great balance to the pineapple, which delivers a great amount of energy for a fruit. This combination, along with ice water, can help to guarantee a diet low in both fat and salt. There are several concerns with this diet, however.

The first concern is that pineapple is very acidic. This can make it hard to eat in large quantities and can also irritate things like canker sores in the mouth. In addition to this, pineapple contains a lot of sugar, which can be a problem for diabetics who need to watch their sugar levels.

The second concern is one that is common with fad diets: there are concerns over the nutritional imbalance that comes along with following a diet that has such a restriction on foods that can be eaten. It is nearly impossible to get the fully recommended amount of vitamins and nutrients from a restricted diet.

A third concern is that some of the claims that come with the pineapple diet have not been confirmed through scientific testing. Most fad diets will be effective in helping dieters to lose weight, but not all weight loss is equal. This doesn't mean that the weight loss from this particular diet is healthy, or because of the reasons the diet claims for the effectiveness of its own program.

While it works great for some dieters, the pineapple diet is not a weight loss plan that everyone will be able to, or will want to, follow. That said, this is one of those rare fad diets that provides some solid nutrition and can actually help dieters lose weight. - 17274
