The grapefruit diet is apparently not a myth. That's what a new study by the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic has suggested. Researchers there found that the simple act of adding grapefruit and grapefruit juice to one's diet can result in weight loss.

According to our research, there is some loose evidence that grapefruit may facilitate a positive impact on weight loss. While we would definitely not pursue it as some kind of "miracle weight loss food" all on its own, it may be something to consider experimenting with if you are looking to shed unwanted pounds.
