does grapefruit juice "burn" fat?
I honestly don't know if it does, but I know that my mother and I eat them all the time if they are on sale and whether or not they fill you up is out of the question for us. I've never heard anything about apples burning fat, and they fill you up much faster. I can eat 1 apple, maybe 1 and a half, but I can eat 3 BIG grapefruits, so what does that tell you?
Old topic.. but I'll reply anyway...
The short answer is 'yes' .. grapefruit juice can assist in lossing weight, but it's mostly because it keeps you 'regular' shall we say.. it's also good for you too.. I've never been real heavy, but I started getting a gut on me, I started drinking 8 ounces of grapefruit juice a day and am back to normal.
Thing is.. take it slow, don't go and drink a gallon every day, that can really upset your stomach.. just a glass a day will do.
Now.. for those of you on "meds" .. MAKE sure your meds don't have adverse effects when used with grapefruit juice.. because it's one food/drink that does re-act with alot of different meds.. some meds it increases the effects, some it reduces the effects, some it cause complications. check with your doctor and/or pharmacist first.. if your meds are ok with it, then drink a glass a day and in about one month you'll notice a difference.
Good advice. Grapefruit juice also helps because it tends to replace higher calorie items in your diet.
I like grapefruit juice a lot. Haven't been able to drink it for several years because of being on statins... finally off those ... time to go get a big bottle of g/f juice!
I remembered seeing an article not too long ago about a connection with eatiing grapefruit and breast cancer; I looked in my health files, but couldn't find that I'd saved it.
However - here's another link. The possible connection is that it is said that grapefruit increases estrogen effects.

Unfortunately, Your decreased exercize routine caused you to loose muscle mass and gain fat content. Muscle weighing more than fat, it would appear from a scale that weight is being lost which may be true. But it is not loosing size, just weight. Sorry to be so blunt.
Cool & Congrats to you.....My brother used the grapefruit juice as well & has lost 150lbs...I'm so-o-o-o proud of him.....
