A new study published in Plos One suggests that the key to losing weight might lie in the delicious molecules of grapefruit juice. It turns out that when mice were given grapefruit juice instead of water during a high-fat diet, they gained a lot less weight than their control group counterparts. Their blood glucose and insulin levels were also much lower. This new revelation leads researchers to believe that grapefruit juice could be a very effective tool in your repertoire if you want to lose weight.
Sadly, the results havenât been explained yet, so we still have no idea why that is. That being said, itâs good to know that there is something tasty that can actually help us get rid of those few extra pounds. However, this only works with high-fat diets. The study found that there was little to no impact on the mice who were put on a low-fat diet.
Grapefruit has been a part of many diets for a very long time, but now grapefruit juice has the spotlight, and thanks to a scientific research, too. If you want to lose weight, you can definitely try this. Itâs possible that you will find it effective and, in the very least, you will probably feel much better and more energetic. In fact, it might be a good idea to replace your morning coffee with a nice glass of freshly squeezed, pulp-free grapefruit juice to start the day off. It works well as a pick-me-up and has more beneficial effects than the dependency-inducing coffee. In case you havenât considered this, coffee is actually quite addictive and if you stop drinking coffee for a few days, you will experience withdrawal symptoms. However, once those are over, you will feel much better. Overall, grapefruit juice is great for weight-loss and you can even consider it as a substitute for your caffeine in the morning.
