I don't think my stomach could handle egg whites with grapefruit first thing every morning... the diet itself requires strict discipline, little convenience. Still, if you are desperate to lose weight in a hurry, it's better than starving.
I'm an office worker, so I nibble on nutri-gain bars, bananas, apples, an occasional half-a-bagel at my desk in the morning. Some weeks I'll bring in fat-free milk and cheerios. It's usually a Lean Cuisine for lunch, because it's cheaper than going out, they're low-cal low-fat, quick, and yummy. For dinner, and I'll try to take this advice, lean meat, heavy on the veggie, light on the carbs. Fat-free popcorn makes a good crunchy snack, sugar-free popcicles, and fat-free icecream are my faves.
Everyone says less carbs and dairy to loose weight. But you still need a balanced diet for the long haul. (For the make-over diet, consider a calcium supplement.)
