to one of the Dallas news channels -

1. 1/2 grapefruit at every meal (they warned to check with doctor on this as grapefruit interferes with certain medications - like meds to treat hypertension).

2. 1 serving nonfat yogurt at every meal (doing this averaged 4 to 5 lbs. weight loss per month, per that news report)

3. 1 serving of nuts per day (they reported that peanuts upped the metabolism by 11%)

Interesting; and while grapefruit and yogurt have been mainstays on diets for many years, I never thought of nuts as helping the metabolism even though I knew they are healthful.

With the protein found in nuts, they are good for you. I sometimes have a handful of peanuts for a mid-morning snack. If I don't have peanuts on hand, I dip an apple with peanut butter.

I knew they helped stave off hunger, but I also didn't know they speeded up metabolism.
