Grapefruit Juice

Members Were Sparked

I drink between 1/2 to 3/4 cup of 100% grapefruit juice before breakfast and lunch every day. Not only does it have vitamin c, but it is full of filling fiber that helps me eat less during my meal and keep me regular.

IF any of you take prescription medication ... check the warning labels... Sometimes the grapefruit juice will cause your medications to go through your system too quickly and you do not get the full benefits you need!! (some of those meds are: Blood Pressure Meds, and Psych/depression meds)

This is a good idea. During one of my weightloss periods I ate a grapefruit a day. There are some medications that don't work right if taken with grapefruit or grapefruit juice. My husband takes one of those and I need to recheck my meds for how long I would have to wait

It is as good having squeezed lemons or limes in hot water before a meal. I feel great, I didn't get sick long time.

Look at it as "medicine" to make you feel better!

When I first started drinking grapefruit juice in the morning...I HATED it. It was oh, so sour, and I thought I would never drink it again. But I shut my eye, opened my mouth, and chugged it down. And I did it the next day, and the next, and so on, until my first bottle was empty. Over time, I realized I LOVE grapefruit juice.... (continued)

MORE INFORMATION:
If on first taste you can't stand a food, look at it like necessary medicine for being well and eat/drink it anyway. Try it for a week (lol doctor's orders!)...then you'll REALLY know whether you genuinely like or dislike a healthy food.

Cabbage soup

I eat a LOT of cabbage soup, and skip the rice, but eat a piece of protien (feel free to checkout my recipe for it). Sure, it may not be negative cal, but you get the fiber, and it gets you the veggies you need in the day. You can add spices to make your taste buds jumpin, and to decrease that calorie count ;)

MORE INFORMATION:
One more thing-- I am the type of person who MUST drink something with my lunch/dinner-- to add to the kick of the soup, try concentrated grapefruit juice (or, better yet, try the actual fruit) since it increases your metabolism, too!
