Has anyone heard of the Grapefruit juice, ACV and honey tummy slimming drink? You drink one cup before each meal to help burn fat. Anyone have any experience with this? Does it aid in weightloss?

    No. It sounds gross. I can't see it having any benefits as far as weight loss unless it makes you lose your appetite.

    Grapefruit juice can be contraindicated with meds, ACV tastes great on salad and is supposed to be great for your skin and hair when used topically (I haven't tried it), and honey tastes great but has a lot of calories.

    No joke. A likely inexhaustive list complied and published in 2012 (source citation at the bottom of every page if you want to read the original accompanying article) : http://www.cmaj.ca/content/suppl/2012/11/26/cmaj.120951.DC1/grape-bailey-1-at.pdf

    Grapefruit in itself stimulates the liver. Interactions of grapefruit juice and cardiovascular medications can be potentially dangerous. Other than that all of those ingredients have amazing health benefits. I use ACV, garlic and honey to get over strep throat without getting an RX. I also like to drink grapefruit before a meal because it makes digestion better.

    They may have some health benefits, but it will not help you to lose weight quicker or burn fat. You need a calorie deficit for that.

    It does help flush fat and toxins from the liver. And yes, you do need a calorie deficit to lose weight.
