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

    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.

    Which toxins are you referencing?

    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?

    It's a very slow process, helps with hunger but after a month I started get mouth ulcers.

    Well that's one way to cut back on how much you eat!

    In all seriousness, I'm sorry that happened to you.

    You all need to look it up yourself. lol

    This tells me everything I need to know about you and your claims.

    It's not about being lazy. It's about evaluating your sources to determine if you have something worthy of my attention. When someone tells me to look it up myself, that's a red flag that they are wasting my time and don't have a valid argument to defend.

    Okay. It really is a not hard to look something up.

    Every weight loss study that looks into grapefruit as a weight loss benefit shows nominal results. How nominal? 1-3lbs additional weight loss in a 3 month study.

    All participants taking grapefruit and gained the added (possible) improved weight loss gained it all back after stopping the grapefruit treatment.

    So...enjoy that grapefruit for the rest of your life. :trollface:

    Did I say that anything about weight loss? No, I said it flushes the liver of fat and toxins.

    I will enjoy my grapefruit (now that I am off blood pressure medicine) my apple cider (in my salad dressing) and my honey (drizzled over pancakes) but never together like this. Ick. Just ick.

    No elixir can eliminate imaginary toxins. Or maybe it can; like a magician's trick or a charlatan's game.
