The grapefruit diet made me feel sick for a week straight

I read online that eating half a grapefruit before each meal would speed up weight loss, so I tried it for seven days. Instead of losing weight, I just felt nauseous all the time and had zero energy to get through my workday. I learned that a diet that makes you feel that bad isn't worth it, no matter what the promise is. Has anyone else had a bad reaction to a specific diet food like that?

Honestly, feeling sick for a week is rough but is it really that serious? Tbh a lot of those old school diets are just weird fads. Maybe your body just really doesn't like grapefruit.

Consider how many people might be trying these old diets without knowing the risks. Some of those fads can mess with your meds or just be too harsh. It's worth asking a doctor instead of just powering through.
