Although there are many versions, the basic premise remains the same - dieters are advised to consume ½ a grapefruit at every meal, or in some cases can drink grapefruit juice or take a grapefruit capsule. The belief is that grapefruit contains fat-burning enzymes to aid those who want to lose weight. This fat burning property has been suspected, but not scientifically proven as yet.

You should not follow a juice diet that is primarily grapefruit. Instead try a juice detox diet where you try a whole different range of fresh fruit juices. A juice detox is a great way of losing weight fast and ridding your body of the toxins that will cause you to crave bad foods.

A grapefruit is a large, sour to semi-sweet spherical fruit, believed to be a cross between a sweet orange, and a shaddock.
