How Does Homemade Grapefruit Juice Soda Help with Weight Loss?

Wondering what it is about this grapefruit juice soda that makes it work so well for weight loss? I actually didn’t realize how great this could be for weight loss until I did a bit of research myself!

  • Fiber content – Grapefruit is a rich source of dietary fiber, which has been proven to help with appetite control and promoting fullness. (1)
  • Low calorie – Grapefruit and lemons are both also low calorie fruits that are full of water, another characteristic that has been associated with improved weight loss efforts. (2)
  • No added sugars – Unlike many commercially available grapefruit juice and soda products, this recipe has no added sugars or any other types of preservatives. Instead, it contains naturally occurring fruit sugars combined with a zero calorie sweetener.
  • Low carb – Carrying on from the point above, this grapefruit juice soda is also a rather low carb drink option in general, especially when compared to other sodas. Studies have found numerous weight loss benefits can be gained by following low carb diets that place an emphasis on eating real, whole foods. (3)
