    My Gramma gave me a grapefruit spoons. They have little sirated edges on the edges. No telling how long she has had those things. Grapefruit knife might be alot easier to find.

    Grapefruit spoons are the way to go.

    About the size of a section with a serrated edge.

    You miss so much pulp using a spoon of some sort. I just peel it and eat it. I also peel the skin off the individual sections.

    im with atherjen on this one...eat it like an orange!

    i tried jodie's "special" spoons...they made me feel like a retard...i made a damn mess with the juice and had to revert back to my old way of eating it like an orange.

    of course this could be attributed to the fact that I just have problems using simple tools (like spoons)
    My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

    When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.

    Grapefruit are great. I just don't see the point in eating them any way other than like an orange. It's less messy and you leave less behind.

    grapefruits can range from sour to bitter to kinda sweet depending on the ripeness and type....to me, the more sour it is, the better i like it!

    Ewww grapefruits. That's ONE THING I absolutely detest, I could never eat that stuff, and I eat, by many standards, what some people would consider to be the most flavorless and bland diet ever.

    Peace.

    Grapefruit is a slight diuretic but its not going to target water retention in your stomach.

    Eat it like an orange. You have to eat the pulp and all to get the fiber and full benefits of the grapefruit!

    hey jodi, i got a Q for you... why is it that normally when dieting it is easier to lose water when drinking more(and taking more potasium etc), yet pre-contest you are supposed to stop drinking water all together? It seems like a contradiction.
