However, recent research by DR. Fujioka at the Scripps Clinic found that over 12 weeks, participants who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost 3.6 pounds and those who drank a serving of grapefruit juice three times a day lost 3.3 pound- indeed, many participants in the study lost more than 10 pounds.
