True or False: You can lose weight if you eat
grapefruit or drink/use vinegar?
FALSE: This myth is considered ‘food folklore’--wishful
thinking for many of us who have heard this faux promise
for years. Unfortunately no food can "burn fat"
nor "burn off the calories in a food". If you
lose weight because you eat grapefruit, it's because you
substitute this low calorie food for one in your diet that
is likely much higher in calories and fat. Same for vinegar.
It may get used in place of a much higher fat salad dressing
for example.
