Grapefruits Help with Weight Loss!

Grapefruits are beneficial to quicker weight loss in the plan I've been following this past year. During the weeks that I was very limited in what I could eat, I needed to eat 1 grapefruit per day. Of course, not being a great fan of grapefruits, I sort of got burned out from eating them every day for 7 weeks, so I then started eating other fruits instead of grapefruit. However, my total weight loss per week started to slow down and I firmly believe it was partially attributed to the lack of grapefruit in my diet.

A great benefit of adding grapefruit to your diet is that researchers believe grapefruit reduces insulin levels, which help with weight loss. A high level of insulin indicates your body is not utilizing sugar for energy and the excess sugar can be converted and stored as fat on your body. High levels of insulin can also make people feel hungry even though they just ate! Studies indicate the consumption of grapefruit helps to lower the insulin levels, allowing the body to more effectively burn energy, increase the metabolic rate, and give us the feeling of being full.

So, add 1-2 grapefruits per day to your diet plan and enjoy a quicker metabolism and less hunger pangs!

It is Possible to Lose Weight Without Exercising!

Have you been wanting to lose weight? Are you mostly used to Yo-Yo dieting? That's been my life for the past 30 years. I would try one diet, then another. Each time I might lose some weight, but within a short amount of time I would give up and before I knew it I would gain all the weight back plus some extra pounds.

After having four kids, it was simply easier to just blame the pregnancies. I would joke about how happy I was at the size I was. Inside, I really wasn't happy. It was just too hard to lose the weight, and much harder to keep it off.

Last year I finally decided it was time again to try losing weight... and found something to stay focused on. It's been one year now... 88 pounds lost-to-date and still losing!

I will be sharing tips and tricks that I've used to lose my weight and to help me stay focused over the long haul.

Best news is I've lost it all without doing ANY form of exercise unless you count sitting on the couch enjoying Netflix in the evening. :)
