    I'm soooo scarred from the "grapefruit diet" because thats all my mom would ever "eat" was grapefruit juice, and she dropped like 70 pounds, but it was secretly because she was on drugs and used the grapefuit diet as a cover up haha. maybe thats how she never looked all twaked out though because of all the good properties it has? When i finish this little diet i'm on i might just have to do grapefruit for breakfast. Has anyone tried it with that truvia stuff?

    Years ago I did the half a grapefruit in the morning, lean meat and lettuce and tomato salad with no dressing for lunch and kind of the same thing for supper and exercised like a demon. Easily creating at least a 2,000 a day calorie deficeit. Also known as the TWA stewardess diet for them to lose weight quickly in the days of stewardess weigh-ins. Lost a ton of weight and then gained a ton of weight back on. It's taken me years to straighten my metabolism out from that near starvation diet I was on for 6 months.

    I wasn't suggesting that any one do the grapefruit diet, I was just trying to share the benefits of eating grapefruit LOL. I know I will be eating alot more grapefruit as some of my snacks. I like them and they are good for you too. Just sounds like a win win situation.
  • they are also a low GI fruit for those watching blood sugar levels.

    Stay away from Truvia!!!

    It is highly processed Stevia. So it is not good for you!!!
