Looking to lose weight? In addition to following a plant-based, whole foods diet, incorporating certain foods can help catalyze weight loss. Ingredients like grapefruit, wild salmon, almonds, avocados, and kiwi can trigger your body to process them more efficiently, mainly making your insulin more effective. Here are some fabulous, healthy, and delicious recipes that will also help you on your weight-loss journey.
Grapefruit has a compound called naringenin, which studies have shown can make our insulin more effective.
The Martha Stewart Show, January Winter 2008
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 cups ruby red grapefruit juice (squeezed from 2 grapefruits)
2 to 4 tablespoons honey
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice berries
Directions
.In a medium pot, combine juice, honey, cinnamon, allspice, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat; strain and discard solids. Serve with a grapefruit segment or strip of zest.
FYI: Grapefruits are rich in lycopene (the red color/pigment) and Limonoids, it helps to prevent to occurrence of tumors and cancer. These two compounds are hard to find in other fruits and vegtables but appear in abundance in grapefruits…. actually, heating the grapefruit juice actually activates the lycopene.
Reviews:
If you do choose to use bottled juice, make sure you get juice that IS NOT FROM CONCENTRATE! Simply Orange and Minute Maid Pure Squeezed are two lines available in grocery stores in our area that carry Grapefruit juice not from concentrate. If your store doesn't carry it, you can always ask them to order some for you
If you happen to live near a Whole Foods Market or a Stew Leonard's, you can buy bottled fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in their produce department. Cheaper than juicing whole grapefruits, but you still get all the health benefits of non processed, raw grapefruit juice.
