Myth

: Certain foods, like grapefruit, cabbage soup or celery, can burn fat and make you lose weight quickly.

Fact

Sorry! There is no food that burns fat or makes you lose weight more quickly. Weight loss diets that focus on single foods, like grapefruit, are restrictive and lack nutrients needed for good health. On a single food diet, you may lose weight because you are eating less and taking in fewer calories than you need. The best way to lose weight is to eat healthy foods in the right portions and be active
