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.

Those sound cool. I've never seen anything like that before.

Grapefruit spoons are the way to go.

About the size of a section with a serrated edge.

 

[JLB001]

Jodi...she has passed away, so no telling how old those spoons are. They are neat.

I'll have to get of set of these. Much better than the knife.

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)

 

[canuck_newbie]

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.

 

[blinkboy99]

orange it is, thanks guys!

Aren't grapefruits sour?

 

[DrChiro]

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!

 

[Premo55]

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.

does grapefruit help you lose the water retention in you'r tummy?
I know cucumbers with vinegar helps!

 

[Jodi]

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

 

[sara]

what will help then?

 

[Jodi]

eating properly and drinking lots of water.

 

[sara]

drinking water, cucumbers, vinegar, no canned food.. what else?

 

[sara]

I know eating properly is the main point.. but I need to lose the water I'm holding for tomorrow's test

 

[Jodi]

There is nothing you can do for tomorrow other than drinking water.

 

[sara]

ok
@ 12:00 pm today, I'm going to drink 1.5 liter water before my first meal

 

[kvyd]

are grapefruit good for you
in a steady diet

 

[Nuclear Blast]

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.

 

[greekblondechic]

i believe they only stop drinking water that day, or otherwise a few days out

 

[sentricyphen]

yeah but why
