Kickstart Your Diet with Ruby Red Grapefruit

Once the holidays are over the hardest part of the New Year starts – getting back in shape. After tossing your healthy diet to the wind for six to eight weeks during the winter holidays it can be a real struggle to get back on track. A great way to kickstart your new, healthy diet and exercise routine is to add Ruby Red grapefruit to your daily diet. Grapefruit contains a lot of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy, and it's an easy to transport snack that you can take anywhere with you.

Ruby Red grapefruit eaten at every meal can help you lose weight quickly. The flesh of the fruit is full of fiber, which will help you feel full and avoid snacking. Plus, grapefruit contains an amazing naturally occurring element that tells your body to burn stored fat to use as fuel, which can help those holiday pounds melt away in no time. Grapefruit also is delicious when prepared in many different ways so you can eat it often and never get bored with it. Take a few pieces of fruit with you to work so that you'll always have a snack on hand, and then grill up some grapefruit with honey for a dessert at night. Or, serve a warm grapefruit compote over low fat waffles for breakfast. You can also mix up a delicious grapefruit smoothie on your way out the door if you're too busy for a sit down breakfast. Ruby Red grapefruit is one of the most versatile fruits you can find.

One of the biggest advantages of using grapefruit to wean your body off high sugar and high fat foods like the chocolates, breads, and high calorie drinks that are everywhere during the holidays, is that Ruby Red grapefruit has a very tangy taste that will help break your cravings for sugar. Processed sugar, which is in many of the traditional holiday foods that are eaten every year, is very difficult for the human body to break down when eaten in large amounts. When the body can't break it down it ends up storing the sugar as fat. Natural sugars, like the ones in grapefruit and grapefruit juice, are easy for the body to break down so those sugars end up being used as fuel instead of being stored as fat. Once those sugars are used up the body will burn the stored fat for energy, which will help you get rid of all that holiday weight and stay on a healthy diet.
