Why grapefruit is great for weight loss

Lose weight with grapefruit

If you changed nothing else, eating half a grapefruit before every meal can help you lose extra weight.

That's because this fruit is at least 90% water, which can fill you up, so you eat less. It can also lower insulin, a fat-storage hormone.

Grapefruit contains a flavonoid that balances out blood sugar levels and helps prevent a pre-diabetic condition linked with weight gain around the waist.

Add grapefruit to your diet

• Enjoy half a grapefruit with your breakfast, or,

• Drink a glass of grapefruit juice in the morning to rev up your liver into fat-burning mode.
