A bitter fruit for better weight loss

lose weight temporarily, but most gain it all back in the long run.

Could grapefruit — touted for years as a weight loss wonder — actually work? Possibly. In one 12-week study, obese people who ate half a grapefruit before each of three daily meals shed more pounds.
    Show Me the Grapefruit: In the study, whole grapefruit also took a bite out of insulin resistance in folks with metabolic syndrome — a constellation of conditions that can raise the risk for several serious health problems.
    Go Whole: Although grapefruit juice and grapefruit capsules also may have pound-shedding potential, whole fruit was clearly the winner in the study — because the whole fruit has appetite-controlling fibre.
