Introduction: Several decades ago, grapefruit diet, or 18-day diet, appeared as a hypothetic treatment to help in the weight loss being this citric fruit the key in the diet-planning program.
Objectives: This review assessed the nutrition and the history to discover when the diet appeared, who had this idea, what energetic and nutritional value and how to act in the hypothetic reduction of body weight.
Methods: A review was carried out in the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Knowledge and a comprehensive search of the ‘grey’ literature.
Results: The reviewed information could indicate that this diet was promoted by the food and cinema industry and extended intentionally or unintentionally by Ethel Barrymore from the beginning of 1920s, being a low-calorie treatment where probably grapefruit has nothing to do with that weight loss. Furthermore, details of menu-planning were not entirely uniform and varied with the consulted literature because there is no book or pamphlet about the original diet.
Conclusions: Our review solved the mystery about grapefruit diet with a historical-nutritional viewpoint.
