Nature’s diet pill

Grapefruit puckers your lips, but it also shrinks your waistline. In a new study, researchers have shown that the long-talked-about grapefruit diet actually works. In the study conducted by the Scripps Clinic, overweight subjects who ate grapefruit with their meals three times a day for three months lost an average of 3.6 pounds without altering their eating habits. Some subjects lost as much as 10 pounds. Those who drank grapefruit juice lost an average of 3.3 pounds, and those who swallowed newly marketed Grapefruit Solution capsules lost an average of 2.4 pounds.
