Suggest Alternative Of Grapefruit For Dieting
Question: I want to do a diet, but I can't eat grapefruit. What can I eat that will act the same as the grapefruit?
Brief Answer:
restriction only to grapefruit
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
Grapefruit can interact with many of the drugs and also with zocor. So eating grapefruit should be restricted.
You can eat any other fruits as no other fruits have been identified to have significant drug interactions. Since grapefruit is a citrous fruit you can eat any other citrous fruit like orange, lemon etc.
So in summary the restriction is only to grapefruit not to any other fruits.
I hope this information answered your question and is helpful to you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you faster recovery and good health.
Regards
