When I say grapefruit one of two things may happen. You may twist your mouth and make a disgusted noise, or you may jump with joy and smile. It’s a known fact grapefruit is not for everyone.

Whether you’re one of those people who can’t resist to sprinkle some sugar on top of it or eat it raw, you have to admit that it’s one of the healthiest fruits you can eat - especially if you’re looking to lose weight!

Some reasons it’s one of the best fruits out there is because it’s packed with vitamins and not only that, but it offers a lot of other amazing benefits.

Here’s a list of some of the amazing benefits mentioned before:

Helps With Weight Loss

Grapefruit is loaded with fiber, which helps you stay full for longer and that can help with mindless snacking throughout the day. Don’t feel guilty for eating it too because a serving of one grapefruit is roughly only 55-75 calories! What else helps with weight loss? A high metabolism, which grapefruits help boost!

Green tea is one of the most popular teas in the world, and for good reason. It's hands down one of the most healthy beverages in the world. Skinny Teatox uses the highest quality Sencha Green Tea as one of the main ingredients in all their teatox's. 

I want to teach you a bit more about green tea - why it's so healthy, where it comes from, and even why it's called green tea. Well, the name is obvious – it’s green! The green colored leaves and the green color it gets when brewed is the reason it coined the name “green tea.” It first came into the light in China during the early 1900s, but the use of it dates back more than 3,000 years ago! People used to chew and eat the leaves, and then over time it was used for cooking and then to water for drinking!

If there’s one power food that everyone should at least try once in his or her life, it’s oatmeal.

Personally, I never liked the idea of eating it until I actually did and now I can’t imagine my life without it. There are so many benefits from eating oatmeal daily. My personal favorite and probably yours too - weight control!

Eating oatmeal daily helps reduce your appetite! Along with that, it also reduces blood pressure, promotes antioxidant activity and another personal favorite – helps with athletic performance due to it’s great source of carbohydrates and proteins!

The next question to oatmeal is probably whether to eat it hot or cold (I personally enjoy hot), and no matter what your preference is, there’s always that lingering question – What do you top it off with? Below is my personal favorite top 5 toppings for oatmeal which I highly recommend trying out sometime!

1. Peanut Butter

Does there seriously need to be an explanation for this? Who doesn’t love peanut butter? I’d suggest eating this combination before you plan to do any strength training or running because the extra packed protein you’re getting from the peanut butter will help you out. This combination could work for a post workout meal too. Just add some bananas in there for a good source of potassium and you’ve got a delicious breakfast or lunch!
