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.

    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.

Fad diets may help some people
