Can you lose belly fat drinking grapefruit juice?

No matter what you do, you can not "spot-reduce" fat.  Targeting a specific area of your body to reduce fat is a horrible approach.  Your DNA is programmed to tell your body to accumulate fat in certain areas of your body first, then other areas, etc.  The order in which fat is taken off is the exact opposite order in which it was put on.  Best bet is a healthy diet/lifestyle that includes regular excercise and small but frequent meals.  As for grapefruit juice, it is a healthy supplement for the vitamin value, but it's no replacement for a healthy meal.  Be wary of any or all "miracle diet" promises.

my grandma used to use cod liver oil for gall bladder issues, not to lose weight. I'd drink lots of water, eat fruits, veggies, whole grain, low fat cereal and milk and walk, walk, walk.  Good Luck, you can do it!

Not really.  You will lose some weight while you are on the juice diet, but once you start to eat normally again, you'll regain the weight that you lost.  Also, those severely low calorie diets cause you to lose muscle which effectively lowers your metabolism.\n\nYour best bet for permanent weight loss is to eat sensibly and exercise.

Try the shangri-la diet, usually belly fat is the first to go.

It is a natural chemical compound known as a bioflavanoid found in grapefruit, giving it its bitter flavor.\nThis powerful bioflavonoid has antioxidant and antifungal properties, and as such may help prevent cancer and atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), as well as a number of other ailments.\n\nNaringin also works synergistically with other nutrients, increasing the bio-availability (how much nutrient is absorbed by the body) and therefore maximizing the health benefits of these nutrients.\n\nIt is important to note this citrus extract interferes with enzyme activity in the intestines, and therefore can inhibit the breakdown of certain drugs. That is why you should consult with your physician if you are on any medication before eating grapefruit.

Magnesium is very important to heart health. Lots of people are deficient in magnesium. Grape juice is good for the hdl, particularly the purple. The white is good too, but the purple is better.  However, note that a study suggests that too much purple grape juice interferes with iron assimulation. Results are not conclusive but alternating purple with white grape juice might be prudent if grape juice becomes a regular part of the diet.

any aerobic exercise like running will help you lose the weight, then do sit ups and crunches to help you tone your belly. also, try to cut back on the food that is high in fat and carbs, and try to drink water more instead of other drinks high in sugar.

Sit ups would not do that.  If you start to lose a good amount of body fat, your breasts MIGHT be one of the first places to lose the fat.  Situps would not have the effect of losing a lot of body fat though, so don't worry about it.

Yes you can. Some people want to know how much weight per week is safe to lose. Others want to know how much weight they will lose sticking to a certain program. There are lots of people who repeat what they have heard but no reliable sources say that only a certain amount is safe to lose. You can drink too much water, eat too much, exercise too much and fast too long (an MD fasted a fat guy for 8 months and he died). But you can not sleep too much!  Why? Because you do not control how much you get only how little you get. You cannot force yourself to sleep if you do not need it.\n\nSo you do not choose how quickly you lose weight. Your body decides that. So only your body knows how much you will lose. It will only allow you to lose what is safe. One guy under an MD's care lost 180 pounds in a year fasting on weekends. So some lose quickly on a bad weight loss plan  and others lose slowly on a great weight loss plan. Make sure to eat foods with nutrients for skin, like omega-3 fatty acids, to avoid loose skin, when you lose weight.\n\nDiets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.\n\nBut wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you  know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.\n\nSo it is natural  to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org

yes, i did, but i also stopped drinking alcohol. So maybe the answer is no. All i do is crunches and push ups, and i lost about two inches around my waist. You also have to eat right. Good luck.

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

for exercise, well, exercise. for food, theres grapefruit. the human body cannot digest the type of sugar in grapefruit, so all the calories just go right through but meanwhile you're feeling full and getting good vitamins and fiber. aslo celery is great. its kind of nasty plain but if you can dig it then great. you actually burn more calories chewing and digesting a stick of celery than you get from it in return, so celery makes you feel full but burns calories. like a diet pill but way helathier!

I didn't do to bad...It works better as an addition to other diets such as just eating more veggies and less carbs. To maximize your diet eat grapfruit or drink grapefruit juice because grapefruit helps boost your matabolism. Remember to excercize and eat right, that is the big part! But yes, Vinegar does help....

I don't know of any specific health drink,but there's solid evidence out there that drinking 24 ounces of milk in each 24 hour period will help you lose weight. For the best results,drink low-fat or skim milk.Good luck!\n                                  Lynne,RN

believe it or not food cravings are like drug cravings and in fact stuff like caffine will keep you hooked. but as far as the beads and goodies go its natural of course to have the cravings but getting rid of that is up to you, drink LOTS of water because it fills you up and either eat some grapefruit r drink the juice because the citric acid helps burn fat, hope this helps.
