The one fruit you should eat this winter

Scientists from the Scripps Clinic (San Diego) studied 100 men and women over a 12-week period. The volunteers were divided into three groups. One ate half a grapefruit with each meal, a second drank 8 ounces of grapefruit juice three times a day and a third acted as a control group. All groups maintained their regular eating habits over the 12 weeks. Despite the fact that none of the subjects actually dieted, the average weight loss in both the grapefruit and grapefruit juice groups was about 4 pounds, with several subjects losing more than 10 pounds.

While scientists aren't exactly sure how grapefruit stimulates weight loss, they do believe it may be due to chemical properties of the fruit that reduce insulin. Grapefruit also contains the flavonol naringin (which prolongs the thermogenic action of caffeine), as well as these nutrients:
