Fruit for Weight Loss: Secrets from Oprah and Beyonce

Fruit is a natural source of fiber and natural sugar for energy. Fresh fruit is plentiful, but even fruit in a transitional form has the nutrient components for better health and accelerated weight loss.

Fruits are even more powerful when juiced as the concentration of nutrients are compacted. Beyonce shared her secret on the Oprah Winfrey show of how she lost 20 pounds in 10 days for the movie Dreamgirls.The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet, created by Stanley Burroughs in 1976, produces rapid results and increased energy, but is recommended by the author for limited use only. Cleansing 1 to 3 days a week is sufficient for detox, and 10 days is the maximum for safe and healthy weight loss.

The simple and basic recipe for the lemonade diet may be mixed in bulk and stored in the refridgerator, giving you a full day's supply. The ingredients per glass are 8 ounces of purified water (tap water contains toxins) mixed with 2 ounces of fresh lemon or lime juice. Add two tablespoons of maple syrup and one tenth of a tablespoon of cayenne pepper. If the pepper is not palatable, you may substitute with a cayenne capsule. To save time, try making a half gallon by multiplying the ingredients by eight.

Medical researchers have newly discovered a fruit indigenous to West Africa called Irvingia Gabonensis, or the African Mango. Clinical trials, performed by Dr. Julius E. Oben from the University of Yaounde in Camaroon, found his 102 patients to have lost an average of 28 pounds in just 10 weeks. All dietary and excercise levels remained the same, only the African Mango was added to their diet. In addition to weight loss, they enjoyed a drop in blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels.

Fresh African Mangos are plentiful in supermarkets in Johannesberg and Pretoria, South Africa, but may not be available in the western world for quite some time. Meanwhile, we can purchase African Mango seed extract capsules at a reasonable rate of $18.95 for a 30-day supply. The most reputable site found was Vitamin Solutions, who also offers free shipping on select orders.
