IS GRAPEFRUIT REALLY A WIGHTLOSS BURNER?
deleted_user
I had been on a "grapefruit diet" before, I ate one for lunch every day. I did lose weight but doubt it was from the fruit. I drenched every bite in as much sugar as possible! I think the loss was due to walking a few miles a day. I was curious though so I researched it. Here is a good link, it has info of a study done that says it does help. Here's the link: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/5495.php Hope that helps.

I think it may be a wives tale. One fruit that did work for me was eating 3 apples a day...it made me gag, but ti really fills you with bulk.

Be careful with grapefruit diets if you're on birth control pills. I'm not sure why (please someone fill this in if you know it) but you're not supposed to eat/drink grapefruit products on the pill. Lowers their effectiveness or something. Sucks too because I really liked grapefruit :(

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
