Trying to trim down or stay slim? You can't go wrong with this tangy
tropical fruit salad, perfect for breakfast or as a colorful side dish
at brunch. Grapefruit is one of the best foods for weight loss, studies show—perhaps because of the effect it has on insulin, a fat-storage hormone.
What's more, grapefruit is deceptively filling. It has one of the highest water concentrations of any fruit (about 90% of its weight is water), and all that juice fills you up fast and prevents overeating.
Try this recipe: Honey Grapefruit with Banana
Prep: 5 minutes. When you're hungry for breakfast at suppertime, enjoy a bowl of this sweet minted fruit with an omelet.
No need to cut out sweets while
watching your weight! Fruit is a great alternative to more fattening
sweet treats, and it provides vitamin C and fiber. Bananas are an
excellent source of potassium, to boot.
Drain grapefruit sections, reserving 1/4 cup juice.
Combine grapefruit sections, juice, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill.
