When dieting, is it good to eat grapefruit?

Question

I've heard it can help break down fat..

Answer 1

They are said to have a certain "enzyme" that might help with weight loss (not proven) but mostly they are low in calories and high in water content. They're high in vitamins and grapefruit contains pectin, a form of soluble fiber. So they're good for you and can help lose weight ..good luck!

Answer 2

grapefruit is an excellent food to eat when dieting but like with any food, too much grapefruit isn't good for you either. Try eating 1/2 a grapefruit a day. Grapefruit has been known to burn fat. Also, drinking at least 1/2 a gallon of water will do wonders for weight loss. But the best way to lose weight is simply to consume less calories than your body burns in a day.

Answer 3

Grapefruit in excess can be dangerous. They are very acidic and can cause some serious gastric problems and they interfer with many perscription drugs. So enjoy them, but be care about long time consumption. The best way to diet is not to diet. What are the first 3 letters of that word. That's what can happen on many of the popular diets.

Develope good eating habit:
·Healthy diet. It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed. When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to loose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK,sauteed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and B-12 and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.
