Studies have shown that eating some fruit or drinking 1-2 cups of fruit juice 20-40 minutes before meals can prevent obesity caused by overeating. Because fruit or fruit juice is rich in fructose and glucose, which can be quickly absorbed by the body to increase blood glucose concentration and reduce appetite. The crude fiber contained in the fruit can allow the stomach to feel full. In addition, eating fruits before meals can significantly reduce the demand for fatty foods, as it indirectly prevents excessive accumulation of fat in the body. However, many fruits such as persimmon, hawthorn, almond, pineapple, etc. cannot be eaten on an empty stomach. It is better to choose fruits whose acidity and astringency are not too strong, such as apples, pears, bananas, grapes, watermelons, melons, etc., before meals.

And it is difficult to achieve the effect of weight loss by eating fruits after a meal. Since eating fruit after a meal is equivalent to eating too much sugar, this extra sugar can be translated into fat and stored in the body easily and add to your weight.

CHOOSE FRUITS WITH LESS SUGAR

According to research, the glycemic index of pineapple, papaya, bananas and grapes is high, slimmers should avoid eating too much of these fruits. Like apples, kiwis, lemons, plums, cherries, citrus fruits, etc. have less sugar in the blood, it is the best option to lose weight.

DO NOT OVEREAT

Most people believe that fruit is rich in cellulose, almost no fat and protein, and uncontrolled consumption. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. For example, every 100g of strawberries contains about 30 calories, if you like to eat strawberries and eat a lot of them, the calorie intake is amazing. Another example is eating half a medium-large watermelon, the caloric intake is about 680kcal, which would be equivalent to three bowls of rice.

In conclusion, the fruits are blessings of nature for humans and should be used for our benefit. After all, it’s cheap and readily available. As long as the methods are correct, there will be many fruit weight loss results. However, we should not substitute fruits for basic lunch and dinner. After all, the nutrients of the fruit are incomplete, if there is a long-term use of the fruit instead of meals, there may be consequences, and everything will be in danger. Above all, balance must be the motto.
