Shedding them pounds!

Hello all you beautiful people! 

So today's *bonus* post would be all about how to lose weight by just drinking water. Aside from the sayings that by drinking water, you will flush out toxins and assist weight loss. Yup, we've heard it all but really, if you actually want to lose a little more pound then adding fruits in would definitely help!

One fruit that is my current staple is; GRAPEFRUIT! 

If you've never seen a grapefruit, they're pretty much similar to an orange but a lot bigger and it's pink or they could be white; Really depends on which type of grapefruit you're after.

So it's pretty self-explanatory; You would have to cut about a slice or two and just put it in your bottle/cup of water &drink up! Easy as that! :) 

Now let's talk about the nutritional value of a grapefruit:

1) Vitamin C- The contains a high amount of vitamin C that supports immune system and can help reduce cold. It is beneficial to promotion cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of any heart disease, stroke or cancer. 

2) Digestion and Weight Loss: Grapefruit and it's bitter-sweet taste is well known to slim down the waist and kick start the digestion that helps with metabolism and assist with weight loss.

3) Antioxidant: Grapefruit is filled with tons of anti-oxidant that helps fight against free radical damage and defend sun damage to the skin. It has the ability to lower any risk of cancer because the color of the grapefruit like pink or red contains a phytochemical such as lycopene which can also be found in tomatoes (SO eat your tomatoesssss!!!)

4) Low- Calorie and keep you full: One serving of grapefruit has only 53 calories and 2 grams of fiber which helps you keep full longer and it reduces binge eating.

5) Stabilizes blood sugar: Grapefruit can reduce insulin levels that helps the body to use the food that you are eating for energy rather than storing as fat. By stabilizing your blood sugar, it also means less binge eating! When your sugar level spikes up, you tend to want to crave for sweeter things.

I hope this post was helpful to you & keep drinking your WATER WITH GRAPEFRUIT IN IT!!
