Weight loss has often been associated with avoiding foods and reducing portion sizes, but a new study has confirmed that adding one food can help with weight loss. A dietary study showed that consuming half a grapefruit before each meal resulted in weight loss by the end of the year, according to the health site "Red."
The study revealed that all participants who ate half a grapefruit before each meal lost an average of 1.6 kg in three months, which amounts to 6.3 kg annually. While the fruit itself does not burn fat, it has a very high water content, which makes you feel full and speeds up digestion.
Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C and contains pectin, a type of soluble fiber that helps slow the progression of atherosclerosis. In addition to the study, nutrition experts recommend starting your day with a grapefruit due to its benefits that will last throughout the day.
