I doubt grapefruits are bad but I have heard of them being used for weight loss. Too bad I do not like grapefruits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-grapefruits-bad-for-pregnancy#post-66541 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:11:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 66541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i gained more than a pound a week in my last two months, so you may still reach 35 and beyond towards the end!</p> <p>grapefruit makes me poop like nothing else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-grapefruits-bad-for-pregnancy#post-66531 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:55:36 +0000 MaisyMay 66531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are diets based around grapefruits because grapefruit is one of the foods that supposedly uses more calories to digest than you gain from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-grapefruits-bad-for-pregnancy#post-66497 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:18:55 +0000 tequiero21 66497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've been eating a lot of grapefruits lately (bought a bag from fairway).... and i have NOT been gaining weight! should be gaining about a pound a week now and i keep gaining one, losing 2, gaining 1, remain the same. so right now, at 30 weeks, i'm back down to having gained only 24 pounds (doctor wants me to gain 35 and i have about 8 more weeks go to).... </p> <p>luckily, i have a doctor's appointment on monday, so should see if the babies are weighing what they should be weighing.</p> <p>edit: just wanted to add that in hs, i lost 10 pounds eating grapefruit - not sure if it was really the grapefruit, but i will attest to that! haha. </p>
