"Grapefruit" update
Well, it's been about 3 months of 3 oz glasses of grapefruit juice
daily (before meals). I'm pleased - 5 lbs down - this is after a very long (6 month) plateau. Still have my belly, but making progress. Drinking the juice before meals has become a routine. The weekly "challenge" is to find the juice on sale. sale price $2.00 for 1/2 gallon, "normal" price $3.59. I'm ****ed if I have to pay the $3.59. 1/2 gallon lasts almost 3 days. |

Do you belong to a warehouse club? The BJ's near me has the best prices on juice. -- jmk in NC |

I know you've struggled with the plateau. Did you add the juice to your diet or cut calories somewhere else to fit it in? Beverly |

Why can't you eat fresh gapefruit? I always have heard that the whole
fruits are far better for you and they are not as expensive here.I eat many in my diet. glo |

"Grapefruit" update
Thanks Beverly. When I drink my 8 oz of juice, I count back the
calories of my meal by 90 - of course calories still count! I suppose the grapefruit "theory" is that you'll want to eat less. Frankly, I think I'm eating the same number of calories - and I'm puzzled that I've lost the five pounds. Also, the acid in the grapefruit may reduce the GI or speed that sugar enters your bloodstream. "Beverly" wrote in message ... "Brad Sheppard" wrote in message om...

"Grapefruit" update
glo, I agree with you fresh is best. Problem - speed - I only have
about 10 minutes to eat my two morning meals. BTW today I weigh two pounds less, 156, for a 7 pound weight loss. (yes, it may be back to 158 tomorrow). I do now eat fresh garlic, spinach, and onions.
