The Greatness of Grapefruit and Your Metabolism


Did you know that grapefruit has been proven to increase one’s metabolism? It’s true! Due to the enzymes found in grapefruits, eating grapefruit before a meal can actually help one to burn fat. Grapefruits are only 53 calories and very low on the glycemic index. Studies have shown that those who ate a grapefruit before each meal, or drank 100% grapefruit juice lost .3 more LBs than those who did not (according to medicalnewstoday.com). There has also been a proven link between grapefruits and insulin - a smaller insulin spike occurs creating less fat storage after a meal.  
And the best part? Here in the Midwest - one can get grapefruits for as little as $0.54/fruit even in the winter seasons! Seems a lot cheaper than some of those diet pills on the market, doesn’t it?
