1/2 a grapefruit changes insulin for 2 hours

Eat a grapefruit before your meals.

In a recent California study, doctors discovered that eating half a grapefruit before meals helped patients reduce their insulin levels for 2 hours after eating. The patients who ate the grapefruit before meals lost 1.6kg on average, compared to 0.3kg lost by the patients who were not given the grapefruit, making grapefruit 433% more effective at burning fat compared with dieting alone.

Lean Protein, Grape fruit and Japanese green tea

Well as part of this eating experiment, Day 18 down 18 pounds I will report that I have had success with eating very lean protein.

I am eating white fish, sirloin steaks, and chicken breasts. I have spent a little more and purchased grass fed beef, wild fish and free range chicken.

Hopefully dodging the hormones that I normally get in these products is helping.


Grapefruit has been very helpful, my diet consists of two servings of fruit, either an apple or 1/2 of a grapefruit. I will mention that the grapefruits have made the weight loss a little easier. On both days I ate only grapefruit I lost 1/2 lb more.

The last note is that I have been drinking copious amounts of green Tea. This is freshly made Japanese green tea served over ice and sometimes with a squeeze of lemon. I think the caffeine helps to suppress my appetite and keep me from Sugar crashing.

Day 18 An apple a day

Well make it two apples a day. One in the morning and one in the evening. Organic.

Really helps curb the hunger. I have dropped 18 pounds and this is day 18.

Hurah.

I also drink Apple Cider Vinegar, Raw, unrefined three times a day with water followed by a baking soda gargle to save my teeth. Skin is seeming a little fresher and weight loss is not such a problem
