GRAPEFRUIT!!


Did you know that grapefruit can be a useful food to add into a fat reduction diet? Some people believe the energy required to break down the grapefruit, is greater than the amount of energy recovered from it. Thereby helping to knock off a few extra calories everyday! Grapefruit has no fat and it is low in calories and sodium. The fruit is also high in fiber and contains lots of vitamin C. Scientists agree that grapefruit is a healthy food and can be included in any balanced diet. Adding this into your diet might be that little extra help you need!

Studies show over a period of 12 weeks how much affect eating fresh grapefruit can have:

  6. I've never actually had a grapefruit, how does it taste, if I don't like the taste, is there something I can supplement with it to make it edible to me?

  7. I have never tried it, but I heard putting a little bit of salt on can make it taste sweet instead of bitter.

  9. Same thing with celery. It takes more calories to eat it then it provides.
