is it true that grapefruit will make one lose weight for nothing? What is the daily limit for grape fruits? what else can help in increasing my metabolism rate FAST?

there are grapefruit pills...or you could have half a grapefruit a day, or drink some grapefruit juice. Yes, it does work, and it's probably the safest diet out there.
Chromium picolonate is the other thing that increases your metabolism. For women it's a tad weeker (in mg) than for males who pump iron...get the weaker one, otherwise it will boost your energy and you'll be climbing the walls with the jitters. You don't need "fast"..."fast" will hurt you.
One caution...don't stay on this "acidy" grapefruit diet for too long because the body is supposed to be "alkali" to stay healthy..

Grapefruit can also have a negative affect on certain medications. If you are taking any meds on a regular basis, check with your doctor before you try a grapefruit diet.

It's a diuretic...it flushes excess water out of your system...I wouldn't eat too much on a daily basis because of the acidity...probably bad for your stomach...try taking grapefruit extract pills...cayenne pepper increases your metabolism...

i'm a little confused...what is the 'for nothing' part about? if you eat nothing but grapefruits, i'm sure you will lose weight. as for a daily limit, idk just don't gorge yourself, eat until you are full. exercise increases metabolism, it's great if you exercise before you eat so your metabolism will be faster when you do eat.

No--grapefruit does not make one lose weight but they will fill you up.
Aerobic exercise will increase your metabolism as will most any exercise.
So...get up and dance !!!!

Yes, it is true. But please watch out for bad interactions with drugs or supplements.
