This is not a significant weight loss aid. Using either citrus fruit can have some positive health effects, however. For example, eating grapefruit, which has a lot of fiber yet not a lot of calories, can help you feel full. You could add some lemon juice to a glass of water, which may help you to drink more water. If used in this way, grapefruits or lemons could actually help you lose weight. There is some evidence that eating either of them can have a positive influence on our insulin levels, but you cannot simply eat a lot of grapefruit or lemons in the hope that they will burn body fat. That is not going to happen.

You do get some health benefits from eating grapefruit or lemon, but it certainly does not take the place of a healthy diet and exercise program for weight loss.
