Red Grapefruit

One study found that people who ate half a grapefruit with each meal lost 3.6 pounds over 12 weeks. They don’t know why, but I would give it a try AND I would eat an apple before all three meals as that has also been shown to knock off the pounds.

   

Crank Up The Music

I know I have blogged about music in the past, but here is just one more reason to ALWAYS use it when working out.

New study shows that listening to LOUD music allowed participants to perform 7 more leg presses than they could do when the music was soft.

The booming beat actually produces adrenaline, which sends extra glucose to your muscles, giving your body more fuel to go longer.

Just try to do it at the end of your workout when you may be dragging as you don’t want to harm your hearing.
