Eat More Food Lose More Weight with Grapefruit

One of the hardest things about dieting to lose weight is going hungry. It's that feeling of being hungry and knowing you can't eat that makes people go off their diets more than anything else. But you can eat a lot of food everyday and lose weight. You just need to change the foods that you eat. Grapefruit is one of the best things you can eat while you're dieting. Grapefruits have less than 100 calories per fruit, and they are full of fiber. Fiber will help you stay full so that you won't feel hungry and won't feel deprived.

One of the reasons why the Grapefruit Diet is so effective is because the fiber in a half of a grapefruit will fill you up, and then you'll eat less at your regular meals. If you are trying to lose weight but are tempted to quit because you're always hungry here are some tips from nutrition experts that can help you change what you eat so you can eat more and still lose weight:

Drink grapefruit juice – Grapefruit juice, just like the actual fruit, has an enzyme that will kick start your body into burning stored fat for fuel. If you're burning more calories for energy you can eat more and still lose weight. Drink an eight ounce glass of fresh grapefruit juice before every meal and you will see a difference in your weight quickly. Make sure the juice is fresh though. Often concentrated or commercial juices have added sugar and preservatives which can throw off your diet. Squeeze your own juice from fresh grapefruits.

Load up on fruits and vegetables – Did you know that a serving of fresh salsa only has 10 calories? And it's full of healthy, fresh citrus fruits and vegetables. Instead of reaching for chips and dip when you are dying for a snack reach for a blender and make up some fresh salsa. You can make a fruit salsa with oranges, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits or make a veggie salsa with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, and other seasonal vegetables. Eat the salsa with low calorie pita chips or baked crackers instead of chips and you can have the snack you want with half the calories or less.

Eat more frequently – When you're dieting you're thinking about food all the time. So instead of just having three meals a day eat every three to four hours but only eat small portions. You'll feel like you're eating a lot even though you're really eating the same amount of food that you were eating, you're just eating it in smaller meals and eating it more often.
