Grapefruit
Researchers from the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic have found that including grapefruit and grapefruit juice in your diet can be effective in losing weight. According to the 12-week study, participants eating half a grapefruit in each meal have lost 3.6 pounds on average, and participants drinking grapefruit juice three times a day have lost 3.3 pounds on average. While people are shocked about the results, its rationale is straightforward. Here is why: Similar to apples, grapefruit has plenty of water. Water preloading before main meals can make you feel full faster, so you end up eating less food. Another reason explaining grapefruits’ efficacy in weight loss is their high fiber content. Grapefruits have 2.5 grams of dietary fiber in 1 NLEA serving (154g), which empowers them with great magic in shading pounds. [3]
