If your stomach turns at the idea of healthy eating to lose weight, Miracle Fruit(Synsepalum dulcificum)might be your key to weight loss success. This fruit, also known as the Amazing Berry, has been found to target and temporarily block taste receptors to create a sweet tasting sensation without adding calories or unnatural chemicals. Learn how to trick your taste buds and get thin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum)
  • or a Miracle Fruit compound
  • Determination to lose weight
  1. Step 1

    BUY MIRACLE FRUIT

    Though this naturally occurring fruit is an actual plant, its access in the United States is limited. Consumers are unlikely to see it in the produce section of their local grocery store. There are however, some natural food stores and African food stores that carry the plant. Look for berry shaped fruits called 'Miracle Fruit', 'Magical Fruit', 'Magic Berries', 'Amazing Berries' or something like that. If unsure, ask an employee if they carry the product.

  2. Step 2

    BUY MIRACLE FRUIT TABS

    Because access to the fruit is so limited and importing it can be expensive, Miracle Fruit Tabs now exist to make distribution and use more convenient. These tabs contain the chemical ingredients that are found naturally in the proper Miracle Fruit. These chemicals are reported to work as effectively, or more effectively, than eating them as they occur in the plant.

    These tabs can be found in health stores, online supplement shops, and are becoming more accessible in the diet aid section of local drug and department stores.

  3. Step 3

    HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR DIET

    Because healthy eating is both a hassle and a necessity to successfully lose weight, Miracle Fruit has been a dream come true for many frustrated dieters. Foods like grapefruits, a long-time staple in many diet plans, are commonly avoided by those who need them, or dressed with sugars and sugar substitutes until they no longer render any real dietary benefit. The sensory-blocking action of synsepalum dulcificum makes it possible to enjoy the great benefits of sour foods without sweeteners or puckering. Rather than increasing sweetness, the natural chemicals essentially turn off those taste buds that recognize an unpleasant sour taste.

  4. Step 4

    USING IT TO LOSE WEIGHT

    Miracle Fruit is best used in conjunction with other healthy foods. For example, it can help emphasize the natural sugars in citrus, eliminating the need to add sugar or sweeteners to fruits or sour juices. Healthy foods simply taste better.

    Follow a diet plan that includes these foods regularly. If they are foods that you normally enjoy when sugar is added, even better. Eat your Miracle Fruit, Tabs, or whatever form of synsepalum dulcificum you are using, and enjoy as much as two hours of healthy eating that tastes great without extra calories or chemicals.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always consult a physician before starting a new diet regiment
  • There is some speculation that excessive use of Miracle Fruit could result in under-consumption of sugar. Ask your physician for advice.
