All Free Diets - Recent studies indicate that almonds may lower cholesterol. Grapefruits are large and when presented to the dieter, they look to be a generous serving in comparison to calorie content.  One-half of a cantaloupe would have made an even bigger presentation for just a few more calories.  Added benefit: melon works to dispel water retention and leaves the dieter feeling very satisfied for a long while after it's eaten.
