    Thank you everyone for your responses. I wasn't planning on doing it because I hate grapefruit, I was simply curious. I saw the article in a magazine at Walmart so I guess that right there should have told me that it wasn't real. lol

    There is a "grapefruit diet" that is circulating and most people say it is crappy and all...

    I have to agree with them because I went on it when I was younger and I lost 50 lbs in about 2 months... I gained it all back, but that wasnt the point of the diet. I was going in for surgery and my doctor said I needed to go on that diet to lose all the weight I could before going under the knife. That is what this diet is supposed to do, make you lose quickly.

    Was this article written or sponsored by a grapefruit company? Sounds like propaganda. Calories matter, adding calories making for faster weight loss breaks the laws of physics and biology. I don't buy it. Was there an actual peer reviewed study for this article, or was it just some writer making stuff up? I'm guessing the latter.

    This is true. Also, corporations fund many research projects. THINK ABOUT THAT

    It's true... I lost about 10 extra pound once I began incorporating grapefruit juice into my diet... Granted the discovery of it's benefits was purely accidental. One evening I was really thirsty, ran to the store across the street and the only juice they had was Simply Grapefruit Juice... Awful at first, but one I got used to the flavor (as I commited to the purchase of a large jug) I noticed the weight started falling off more rapidly. I also try to monitor my caloric intake and exercisse (I do slim in 6).... But I am a living testament to its benefits.
