I just need to share with someone my new obsession! I am in love with this fruit right now! I have NEVER enjoyed it in the past, but last week I decided on a whim to pick one up at the market and I have had one every day for the past 5 days. love, love, love.

Have a great day!

    That a very good obsession to have as it is proven that grapefruits help boost your metabolism!
    If you eat one before or with every meal, you'll feel a noticeable difference in your digestive system within a week (or so I've heard).
    I'm no expert though :P

    good choice studies are now PROVING the myth they burn fat. There is a certain chemical acid in them that burns fat! and vitamin c and fiber great choice!

    Oh yes. Pick any day in my diary and you will see grapefruit on it. The only grapefruit I prefer to ruby red is a pomelo and they are only in season for, like, a minute. We are actually in pomelo season right now but it's still off and on if my farmer's market will have them.

    I've been dying for it and grapefruit juice since getting pregnant and I can't have it. It sucks.

    good choice it fills you up rather than boost your metabolism but it does the job x

    I don't know if they raise metabolism. But I do know that researchers at UCSD found that if you eat half a grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice with your meals you can lose more weight. They speculated that this might be because they have an impact on insulin levels.
