Grapefruit juice for weight loss?
I've looked for the answer on the Internet, so does anyone know if grapefruit juice is good for burning fat like a regular grapefruit? I would get the kind that is 100%, but I can't stand the texture of fruit, so mine would have to be juice. Will I get the same, or at least similar, weight loss results with juice instead of straight fruit?

Go vegan. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. It's a lot easier than it seems, and I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine), have more concentration, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months!
These two movies turned me into a vegan overnight.

As a general rule, it makes sense that grapefruit juice, as one of the main components of the fruit itself, would have a similar effect as eating grapefruit. However, there are some things you will have to watch out for that might make the juice alone less of a good option for weight loss or even a contributor to weight gain.
It's a good start to make sure the juice content is high (like 100% or something near) but you should also be sure that the brand you buy does not contain any added sugar or sodium. Excess sugar will obviously contribute to weight gain and sodium increases cravings which can do the same thing.
The other thing you might want to consider is not to drink it too often. This is because you need a good balance to avoid ingesting excess calories and possibly getting ulcers from the acid in the juice.
So, my recommendation would be to drink it sparingly but also drink plenty of water. The water is a zero calorie option that will also flush out toxins in the body.
Good luck.

technically, whatever component is in a vegetable or fruit is going to be in its juice too. The only thing really missing with juice is the amount of fiber from the fruit or vegetable.
So if grapefruit did hold a key to weight loss by helping to burn fat, then the juice would work too.
However, I looked up what web MD had to say on it and the grapefruit diet is a diet thats been around since 1930s and so theres plenty enough research on it to know if it works. They say it doesn't. But that people who used the diet and lost weight likely didn't lose it due to the grapefruit or its juice, but more likely the other aspects of the diet along with the grapefruit that actually helped people lose some weight. There is research that drinking before a meal rather than during can help more to lose weight than other diet fads because the stomach gets filled up to a degree by liquids which also help to push things through later in digestion but mainly, the people who drink first, have eaten smaller meals. If the smaller meals are protein but not high carb and fresh rather than prepared foods, you are more likely to lose weight from that. Heres the link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
