3 1/2 lbs in 12 weeks

Well I didn't lose it but I read that eating grapefruit or drinking a glass of fresh juice daily could help you drop 3 1/2 lbs in 12 weeks (Journal of Medicinial Food - as quoted in Self Magazine so it can't be wrong can it?).

Don't like it enough to drink it without sugar, which defeats the purpose.

Sounds like she needs to learn to like it, even a little bit, if her health is ever going to improve.

Not a fan of grapefruit juice, love grapefruit unfortunately interferes with one of my bp medications-so it's on the no no list for me.

Know what you mean about adhering to the 1/2 cup of ice cream.
