Introduction:
It is obviously that fruits are a part of healthy diet so whenever you feel hungry go and visit the fruit bowl. But wait are all fruits equal when it comes to weight loss plan?
Apples
They are lovely fruits as they are ultimate snack; they are filling, juicy, crunchy, and portable. Studies have even shown that eating three apples per day can help with weight loss and this is normal as they are chock-full of fiber; that has role in satiety.
1 medium apple: 95 calories
Watermelon:
It is low in calories and high in water when you can eat two cups of watermelon for less than 100 calories and at the same time you will feel full as more than 90% of this fruit is watermelon.
Whenever you are looking for low calories food try this yummy fruit as in this way you’ll avoid higher-calorie foods and satisfy your sweet tooth.
1 cup diced watermelon: 46 calories
Raspberries
They are low in calories, and even lower when you consider that they’re high in insoluble (indigestible) fiber. When you eat a 64-calorie cup of raspberries, you’re really only digesting about 32 calories. Put that together with the fact that raspberries have the highest fiber content of any fruit (1 cup = 8g fiber), and we’ve got ourselves a weight-loss winner.
1 cup raspberries: 64 calories, 0.5g fat, 1mg sodium, 14.5g carbs, 8g fiber, 5.5g sugars, 1.5g protein
Grapefruit
A medium grapefruit has only around 80 calories, and like watermelon, it’s more than 90 percent water. By the time you cut up the grapefruit, sprinkle it with a bit of no-calorie sweetener, and eat the entire thing, you’re not going to have the time or inclination to eat anything else.
Naringin is a component found in grapefruit could lower blood sugar and ultimately lead to weight loss.
Ask your doctor before consuming grapefruit if you are taking some medications.
1 medium grapefruit: 82 calories
Oranges
They are high in fiber and water. Enjoy the winter with snacks like orange or use mandarins into salads.
1 large orange: 86 calories
