About the Pineapple Diet

The pineapple diet, also sometimes referred to as the Metzger Pineapple Diet, is hard to nail down because there are many “false” online versions of this weight loss plan. Still, there’s no denying that there’s a lot of interest around this weight loss plan so read on to learn more.

While some versions may differ, every form of this eating plan in some way or another involves eating a lot of pineapple. Some say all pineapple and ice water for a few days in a row, others add in tuna every day. Many have a combination ” where there’s a day or two of nothing but pineapple and water, but tuna on the rest of the days to go with the pineapple.

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.

Most versions of the pineapple diet add tuna. Tuna is the ideal type of meat because it is very low in fat, but absolutely loaded with protein – and all with very few calories compared to the nutritional impact. Tuna is a great balance to pineapple, and allows for a good mix of vitamins and protein. Add in the ice water to stay hydrated and keep the metabolism up and you have the basis of the pineapple diet.

First, one of the largest concerns is sugar. Pineapple is a fruit that has a very high fructose (sugar) content. For diabetics who have to watch their insulin, this could become a major issue. Pineapple is also a very acidic fruit, which could make it unappealing for many different individuals.

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.

Third, some of the claims made about this diet have not been confirmed through testing. While many fad diets will help dieters lose weight, that doesn’t mean that the weight loss is healthy or for the same reasons that the diet purports.

The pineapple diet might not be for everyone. But as far as fad diets go, this one actually does help dieters lose the weight they’re seeking to cut.
