GreatFruit ® Fat Burner Diet Tablets are the latest development following the success of our Grapefruit 60 The Fat Burner Diet Plan ®.
Our original drug-free weight-loss product with thousands of satisfied customers nationwide, has now been improved with the addition of major quantities of grapefruit pectin and niacin (vitamin B3) to enhance cholesterol control in addition to the original weight-loss effect.
Each tablet contains:
750 mg Grapefruit Pectin; 250 mg Grapefruit Extract; and 7 mg Niacin (vitamin B3).
The Fat Burner Diet Plan by Head Start ®
Our Head Start "Fat Burner" Grapefruit 60 Diet Plan ® was introduced in 1984 as the drug-free alternative. One of the best features of our diet plan is that it involves adding a totally natural supplement to your daily diet to help you get rid of unwanted pounds of fat. This without inclusion of any dangerous over-the-counter drugs such as phenylpropanolamine diet aids in capsules, often found in combination with other ingredients such as caffeine, which can leave you with a tired, letdown feeling, or with other adverse side-effects.
Synergistic Food Metabolism
Our Fat-Burner Diet Plan includes some very sensible suggestions regarding the types of food groups to eat daily for their synergistic metabolism within your own system, to speed your weight-loss in a safe and natural fashion. There are no drug side-effects from use of our Grapefruit Diet products, so you can adjust your daily intake according to the needs of your own individual metabolism. With the GreatFruit® item, a small quantify of Niacin (vitamin B3) and the much higher level of grapefruit pectin both enhance cholesterol reduction, acting as a peripheral vasodilator in assisting the pectin. Follow the food group selection guidelines in our Fat Burner Diet Plan Booklet and try to keep your calorie intake between 800 and 1,200 each day. Gradual loss of weight is healthier for you (one to two pounds a week is a safe and realistic goal to set) and in concert with the development of controlled eating habits will prove to be of greater long-term benefit to you.

Dear Pharmacist . . . Why is everybody picking on my favorite fruit juice? My pharmacist just told me not to drink grapefruit anymore because I take diltiazem. What will happen if I combine the two?
--CC Ft. Lauderdale, Florida-- Nothing in your case. But this grapefruit interaction story has been twisted and turned so many times that it is creating unjustifiable public fear. I'll say it outright. Serious drug interactions with grapefruit are very rare. That said, diltiazem does interact with the red fleshy fruit, but it is almost negligible. You don't have to switch medication or give up grapefruit. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about switching medicine if you're really devoted to grapefruits. The public went sour on grapefruit years ago after inaccurate reports. There are millions of interactions with drugs and foods. Grapefruit just happens to keep making the news. People need to remember that grapefruit contains lycopene, which is very protective to the prostate. How sweet it is! In fact, citrus is loaded with vitamin C and a substance called limonoids. Preliminary research on limonoids shows that it can prevent and halt cancer under laboratory conditions. How sweet it is. Soon, there will be tests in humans, but do we need data to tell us that fruits are good for us? Most of the medications that interact with grapefruit do so only to a small or negligible extent. And a lot of factors come into play. For example, what type of medicine you take matters. There are only a handful that might pose a serious problem at this time. Those include 2 cholesterol-lowering statins Mevacor and Zocor, the anti-anxiety drug Buspar (buspirone), the allergy drug Hismanal and the heart rhythm drug Cordarone (amiodarone.) These drugs definitely interact with grapefruit juice and should not be combined. Some drugs interact at a moderate level, but can be taken safely. You just need to remain consistent with your food and beverage intake. Your body will adjust. In fact, because grapefruit tends to make most drugs work more potently, it may just be that you need a lower dosage of medication. Moderately interacting drugs include sedatives such as Ambien and Valium, blood pressure meds like DynaCirc, Procardia (nifedipine) and Plendil. Also, Claritin, Viagra and Tegretol (carbamazepine.) Sometimes grapefruit lowers absorption of certain medications. But this is also very rare and only happens with vinblastine, cyclosporine, Cozaar, Lanoxin (digoxin) and Allegra. Again, approach with caution, not panic. Reactions differ depending on the manufacturer's preparation of grapefruit juice and also on the health of your innards. Your body readjusts its settings to your medication, even if it interacts with grapefruit juice. By and large, most of the drugs on the market today do not interact with grapefruit in any dangerous way. So if you love grapefruit, go ahead slurp it up, it's good for you. --Suzy-- This information is opinion only. It is not intended to treat, cure or diagnose your condition.

"We have demonstrated that grapefruit pectin:
(1) significantly lowers the plasma cholesterol levels (*p<0.01);
(2) improves LDLC and HDLC ratio; and does not affect triglycerides."
Current US Dietary Guidelines recommend increased fiber in our diets and the National Institute of Health data shows that fiber itself can reduce incidences of cancer, heart disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes. Dietary fiber comes from the cell walls of plants, such as grains, nuts, beans, vegetables and fruits, and includes cellulose, lignin, pectins and gums in its composition.
The parts of the grapefruit which do the most to aid in both weight-loss and cholesterol reduction are found in the rinds and membranes surrounding the sections, the parts normally thrown away and not eaten. We use this beneficial grapefruit pectin and extract byproduct of grapefruit processing to give you the best part of the fruit in convenient tablet form.
Barry Sears PhD author of
"The Top 100 Zone Foods" states on Page 84:
" ... Grapefruit also contains pectin, a soluble fiber that reduces the rate of entry of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, thereby lowering insulin secretion.
"Grapefruit and other citrus fruits also protect against cancer. In Japanese studies, grapefruit extract stopped tumor growth after it was injected under the skin of mice. The researchers concluded that grapefruit is a 'remarkable anti-mutagen', a substance that reverses cellular changes that lead to the division and growth of cancer cells.
"To maximize the heart benefits, be sure to eat the grapefruit pulp, which includes the membranes that separate the sections and the white interior of the rind. These are the areas that contain pectin, and that's why grapefruit juice (which has none of this pulp) is not high in pectin and doesn't lower cholesterol levels."
We have found over the years that most people are more comfortable taking grapefruit pectin as a supplement, rather than eating the rather dry, tasetless and pulpy membranes of the grapefruit rind, as it is a more palatable and dependable way to get the valuable pectin your body needs.
For GreatFruit® Items #090 and #017 the recommended dosage is 5-15 tablets daily: 2-4 with each of your three daily meals; and then 2-4 at bedtime; number of tablets consumed will depend on how much overweight you consider yourself and how fast you wish to lower your weight and cholesterol to what you feel to be your own ideal level.

You should never undertake to consume fewer than seven calories each day per pound of your body weight in attempting to diet for weight-loss. Daily consumption of the recommended food groups in our Fat Burner Diet Plan at seven calories per pound per day will aid in your weight-loss gradually. For a 115 pound individual, this would be 804 calories per day; for a 175 pound person it would be 1,225 daily. If you do not already have one, it may help you to purchase a calorie counting guide to aid you in judging your daily caloric intake.
During your initial weight-loss regimen try to keep your daily caloric intake between 800 and 1,200. Once you have dieted down to your desired weight, you can maintain that weight by use of fewer of the meals than during the weight reduction phase. This will probably work out to use of about one-half to one-third of the number of meals you used during your weight-loss regimen. In a daily calorie maintenance program, try to keep your caloric intake between 1,000 and 1,800 daily. Most people find that they can control and maintain their desired weight with about ten daily calories per pound of their body weight.

GreatFruit ® Fat Burner Grapefruit Diet Plan Food Group Selections:
Complex carbohydrates as found in whole grain breads and pastas, unrefined cereals and crackers, potatoes, brown rice and oatmeal, baked or boiled ( cooked ) dried beans of any type, as well as raw and unsalted nuts and seeds are excellent choices to provide the proper type of calories from carbohydrate, as well as to add fiber bulk to your daily diet. Avoid the simple sugars ( fructose, lactose, sucrose and dextrose ), as found in table sugar, honey and white flour products. These do not require your body to burn stored energy ( fat ) to digest them as the complex carbohydrates do, but tend to go straight to fat themselves. These simple sugars provide only empty calories and can keep you from controlling your weight and cholesterol, even when consumed in the smallest amounts.
Avoid adding salt to your foods as this is an acquired taste which often does more harm than good. For the most part, all the salt your body requires to maintain its proper isotonic balance is to be found naturally in your food, and pouring more on only serves to cause your body to retain fluids unnecessarily ( defeating your weight and cholesterol control efforts ), and can even contribute to high blood-pressure problems requiring medical control.
Low fat meats should be a part of your daily diet as your primary source of protein. Baked, steamed, poached, boiled or broiled fish, chicken and other poultry may be eaten freely - except for the skin with its fatty underlayer. Avoid red meats such as beef and pork as the saturated fat content can destroy your efforts to eliminate weight and cholesterol. If you plan a meal without one of the approved sources of protein, a good substitute is brewers yeast ( tablets or powder ) as a complete protein from amino-acids. Limit eggs to two per week.
Dairy products should be limited to 0-1% fat content milk ( either plain or with acidophilous cultures ), plain lowfat yogurt as an alternative protein source, dry curd or lowfat ( 1% ) cottage cheese, or farmers cheese.
Fat content of your diet should be limited to vegetable sources such as nuts, olive oil and fat-free dressings. Avoid coffee lighteners or other foods containing coconut or palm oils.
Fresh vegetables and fruits may be eaten freely. These are rich sources of fiber with their
carbohydrates in complex ( polysaccharide ) form. It is best to eat small quantities of a larger variety of these selections to get the broadest possible benefit rather than concentrating on just a few particular favorites.
Fresh fruits are always preferred, but if canned, then unsweetened versions in all cases should be used. Some of the best fruits for their generous supply of fiber are: apples; peaches; strawberries and grapefruit. Virtually all other fresh fruits are allowed on your Head Start ® Fat Burner Diet Plan with raisins, bananas ( for their potassium content ), apricots, oranges and pineapples at the top of the list.
Many vegetables are not only high in valuable water soluble fiber but are even better sources of calcium than are milk products, thereby giving you double benefit from their employment in your Head Start ® Fat Burner program: turnip greens; collards; mustard greens; beet tops; watercress; rhubarb; parsley; kale; dandelion greens; escarole and curly endive, to name but a few.
Spinach, romaine lettuce, bok choy, cabbage, celery and green onions are also excellent vegetable choices for your Head Start ® Fat Burner Diet regimen, due to their favorable combination of fiber and essential calcium. Other acceptable vegetable choices are; asparagus; broccoli; brussels sprouts; carrots; cauliflower; cucumbers; eggplant; green peas; lettuce; mushrooms; okra; pumpkin; peppers; radishes; string beans; summer squash; sauerkraut; tomatoes; turnip greens; winter squash; onions; zucchini and garlic.
Tossed salads, prepared with plenty of fresh vegetables are made even better with the use of fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice in the place of higher calorie dressings.
Alcohol will slow or halt your progress. Avoid it.
Work Out To Work Fat Off
Exercise is a key element in any weight-loss and cholesterol control regimen you undertake for the simple fact that exercise burns calories. While the primary thrust of our Head Start ® Fat Burner Diet Plan is to help you limit your caloric intake by switching from foods containing greater calories by weight to those which contain less and which also require your body to burn more calories to fully utilize them, this caloric control regimen can be enhanced by exercise.
Exercise For Weight and Cholesterol Control
Proper exercise will not only aid in your attainment of weight and cholesterol control, but can also contribute significantly to your general well-being, which is after all one of the main reasons for eliminating excess weight and cholesterol to begin with. Remember, exercise does not have to, and in fact should not, hurt to be effective. If you experience lingering pain or bothersome soreness from your exercise efforts, you are trying to do too much, too soon. Gradual increases in the intensity and duration of exercise will allow your body to adjust to the change in demands you've made upon it without the damage which results from over-enthusiasm.
Aerobic Exercise, Weight & Cholesterol Control
Recommended exercises for weight and cholesterol control are ones which are of the aerobic variety, that is: which are sustained over set periods of time each day at steady rates of pace and which cause increased circulation and respiration, without straining any individual body parts. The best exercises are really the simplest. Walking, jogging, swimming, bicycle riding, and light weight-resistance are all very effective, and at the same time do not involve major investments in equipment or costly health club or spa memberships.
Slow & Steady Wins The Pace Race
You should decide which types of exercise you wish to undertake and plan each day to devote an amount of time to this portion of your weight-loss regimen. Steadily increase the intensity and duration of the exercise each week at a rate with which you personally feel comfortable, and do not try to rush things, particularly if you have not been accustomed to an exercise program in the past.
Light, comfortable and loose-fitting clothing is best for the types of exercise we recommend since they will not restrict your movement and will allow your body's natural process of perspiration for waste removal to be aided most efficiently by a free flow of air for greatest effect. Avoid sauna suits as they tend to interfere with the desired cleansing process, and can even have a harmful effect on your body’s temperature control mechanisms.
Don't quit too soon, many people do. Be sure to give yourself at least two to four weeks to begin to achieve maximum results from your Head Start ® Fat Burner Program.
Safe, Drug-Free Weight-Loss
Losing a large amount of weight in a short period of time often results in a deprivation of essential nutrients to your body, coupled with a rapid rebound weight gain after you have gotten to your target weight. Starvation dieting through sheer willpower or aided by appetite suppressant drugs does nothing to train your appetite urges in the long-term toward the proper foods for lifelong weight control.
Our Head Start ® Fat Burner Diet Plan can be of invaluable assistance to you in attaining this overall goal, and does it safely, without the harmful side-effects and rapid weight rebound common to appetite suppressant drugs such as caffeine, lidocaine or phenylpropanolamine. Whatever your ultimate goal, you should lose at the rate of no more than one to two pounds each week in its attainment.
You should take one multivitamin tablet daily while you are on this or any low-calorie diet, to ensure proper nutrition and continued good health. Any time you diet for weight-loss, calorie restriction is involved and a good daily multivitamin supplement is necessary to replace lost nutrients.
Flexible Weight Goals
Set an initial goal for yourself of a weight you would like to reach. This can be adjusted as you go along according to personal factors associated with your own unique metabolism. The best indicator of which weight is right for you is to find one at which you feel most comfortable, taking your stamina as well as your physical appearance into consideration, without a preconceived notion of an “ideal” weight for you personally.
A Healthier, Slimmer You
Your reward? The tired, listless feeling and overweight look will give way to the healthier, slimmer, happier more attractive style of a person who has successfully eliminated harmful, addictive junk foods from his or her diet in favor of the nutritional Head Start ® approach to safe, natural weight control.
Grapefruit Pectin Research Abstracts
Inhibition of Atherosclerosis by Dietary Pectin in Microswine With Sustained Hypercholesterolemia: James J. Cerda, MD; Signurd J. Normann, MD, PhD; Michael P. Sullivan, MS; Charles W. Burgin; Frank L. Robbins, BS; Sohini Vathada, MD; Paisan Leelachaikul, MD
Abstract "Sustained hypercholesterolemia is a known risk factor for development of atherosclerosis. In animal studies, grapefruit pectin fed concurrently with a high-lipid diet inhibits hypercholesterolemia and atherogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to determine if grapefruit pectin affects cholesterol levels and atherogenesis of animals with established hypercholesterolemia. Micro swine were fed an atherogenic diet to establish hypercholesterolemia. Plasma cholesterol levels rose rapidly and for 360 days were sustained at levels 6 to 12 fold the normal level. Then, half the micro swine, selected at random, were fed a diet in which 3% grapefruit pectin was substituted for cellulose, and the remaining animals received the original diet. Animals were killed 270 days later, and the extent of atherosclerosis was determined. In animals with established hypercholesterolemia, pectin did not lower their cholesterol levels. However, pectin reduced the extent of atherosclerosis in both the aorta and coronary arteries. The mean surface area covered by atherosclerosis in the aorta was 13.6% in the group that did not receive pectin compared with 5.3% in the group that did receive pectin. The mean coronary artery narrowing was 45% without pectin and 24% with pectin. We conclude that pectin may have a direct beneficial effect on atherosclerosis by a mechanism independent of cholesterol levels". (Circulation. 1994;89:1247-1253.)
The Effects of Grapefruit Pectin on Patients at Risk for Coronary Heart Disease Without Altering Diet or Lifestyle: J. J. Cerda, MD, F.L. Robbins, BS, C.W. Burgin, T.G. Baumgartner, Pharm D., R.W. Rice, BA; Division of Gastroenterology / Hepatology / Nutrition, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL USA
"This study has shown that daily dietary supplementation of 15 grams of grapefruit pectin significantly lowered plasma cholesterol and improved the ratio of LDLC:HDLC in hypercholesterolemia patients who are unable or unwilling to follow a low-risk diet". Clinical Cardiology. 11. 589-594 (1988)
THE PECTIN-CHOLESTEROL CONNECTION - A REVIEW: James J. Cerda, MD; Division of Gastroenterology / Hepatology / Nutrition, University of Florida College of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Gainesville, FL USA
"In vitro techniques have been developed to systematically study dietary grapefruit pectin. The effectiveness of grapefruit in lowering plasma cholesterol both in miniature swine and in human studies has been assessed. Recently the effects of grapefruit pectin on cholesterol levels and atherogenesis in animals with established hypercholesterolemia have been assessed. These studies strongly suggest that pectin may have a direct, beneficial effect on atherosclerosis by a mechanism independent of cholesterol levels. Initial studies using the guinea pig model have been highly successful with over a 40% reduction in cholesterol over a six-week period. Therefore, it was concluded that grapefruit pectin and other food sources rich in soluble fibers are useful adjuvants in the treatment of patients with hypercholesterolemia. Enough evidence has accumulated to substantiate that one in four Americans has a cholesterol level that imparts an increased risk of premature coronary heart disease. Therefore, a broader application and a form of recommendations to include pectin-rich foods, pectin protein food supplements, and a prudent diet aimed at the primary prevention of atherosclerosis in the general public now seem justified". Technology: Journal of The Franklin Institute, Vol. 331A, pp. 199-202, 1994
PECTIN: ITS INTERACTION WITH SERUM LIPOPROTEINS: Mirza Mansoor Baig, Ph.D. and James John Cerda, M D; Division of Gastroenterology/Hepatology/Nutrition, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL USA
"The results obtained from the in vitro studies described clearly suggest that pectin interacts specifically with serum LDL and this interaction appears to be of electrostatic in nature. The observed interaction between pectin and LDL appears to be of significant importance since LDL is the major biological carrier of cholesterol and the principal ingredient of atherosclerotic lesions found in diseased cardiovascular tissue". The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 34: JANUARY 1981, pp . 50-53.
