Lightbulb Grapefruit and Insulin Resistance:

http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs.../jmf.2006.9.49

I just saw an author on Dr. Oz, this week, who said that grapefruit juice (unsweetened) can open receptors in muscles
and prevent weight gain when eating forbidden foods. (in his opinion, having one free day to eat forbidden foods, helps with weight loss when the other 6 days, are carefully managed.)
His name is Tim Ferriss and his video is on Dr. Oz's website.

So I decided to research his claim, and found this paper.

Click on parts 1 and 2... as well...all are very interesting...and Dr. Oz and his medical staff vetted these ideas!

Be aware that Grapefruit interferes with the absorption of some drugs you may be taking. So check with your pharmacy before trying it.
