Pure grapefruit juice only holds about 90 calories per serving, with practically no fat, 0% sodium, 9% potassium and 8% of total carbohydrates. If you enjoy grapefruit but think they are too tart, try sprinkling some artificial sweetener or honey on top.

Grapefruits are low in sodium and a low sodium intake will help flush away excess water weight. Please Note: there are certain medications which are known to interact with the grapefruit juice, therefore, please consult your primary care giver before having this fruit in any form.

The quantity of fish oil you should have will depend on your diet and health status. Be sure to call your family doctor about the proper amount that is best for you. Cod liver oil is among the best source for fish oil. On average, between 20-30 milliliters of cod liver oil may be used or EPA/DHA capsules. Research shows that cod liver oil has lowered blood pressure induced by stress-elevated levels of cortisolis, which is part of the adrenal gland and is usually referred to as the 'stress hormone'.

I enjoy adding them to a bowl of slow cooked oatmeal during breakfast. Eating berries are an ideal way to help your body burn fat faster and increase your overall health. The health benefits many berries have can be found in the rich source of antioxidants they carry. For instance, wild blueberries are among the highest in antioxidant capacity per serving, when compared with more than 20 other fruits.
