Here’s a great weight loss tip:
Add grapefruit to your diet and you’ll feel full longer and curb cravings.
Grapefruit is high in fiber and provides a hefty dose of essential vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin-C, an important antioxidant that boosts your body’s natural defenses. 1/2 of one medium sized grapefruit is also only about 40 calories with 10g of carbs, making it a great food when watching carb-intake.
So make it a point to pick up some Ruby Reds on your next shopping trip. Feeling full for a longer time will help curb cravings and cut back on snacking. You’ll end up saving lots of calories and before you know it, you’ll easily scale down a dress size or two…
A note: I like my grapefruit plain. But for those of you who don’t, here are a few easy grapefruit recipes I’ve tried that will surely tempt your taste buds…
