Grapefruit for cutting

[Determined]

I generally avoid fruit (and other carbs) while cutting. Reading the article cited below makes me think grapefruit should be an exception. Comments?

Grapefruit Diet

You might want to rethink that not based on this study but based on sound nutrition.

Quote[/b] ]On average, participants who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost 3.6 pounds, while those who drank a serving of grapefruit juice three times a day lost 3.3 pounds. However, many patients in the study lost more than 10 pounds.

.3 Lbs per week, not a whole lot to speak of.

Quote[/b] ] “Our study participants maintained their daily eating habits and slightly enhanced their exercise routine; the only dietary change was the intake of Florida grapefruit and grapefruit juice.”

This could account for the weight loss also, maybe not the grapefruit.

Quote[/b] ]Additionally, the research indicates a physiological link between grapefruit and insulin, as it relates to weight management.

So does exercise and weight loss.

FYI, other reports on this study express the use of a control group, which consumed no grapefruit, exercised with the rest, but experienced no weight loss.

That said, the study was co-funded by the Florida Department of Citrus and appears to have undergone no peer scrutiny.
