One food diets are based on 1 single food e.g. grapefruit, egg, poultry, melon etc. Dieters are allowed to eat as much as they like of their chosen food, but other foods are either prohibited or severely restricted. The diet is usually supplemented with multi-vitamins and dieters are advised to drink plenty of fluid. Nevertheless, one food diets are potentially dangerous if taken for a long time. Despite supplementation, it is virtually impossible to obtain a proper balance of nutrients from one food.
