Fruits That Will Actually Help You Lose Weight

As kids we were told that fruits were good for us. How we wish we’d listened from the start!

Fruits not only do wonders to your skin and general health but can also impact your weight and fight fat. Certain fruits have the ability to curb cravings, reduce appetite, and burn calories.

Here’s a list of fruits that can help you lose weight, one way or another!

An apple a day keeps the doctor and calories away. This fruit is full of fibre, which curbs hunger. Instead of a bar of chocolate, grab an apple as a snack, or add apple slices to your plain yogurt as breakfast. Whether you’re eating it on its own or as a sweet addition, It makes a quick, portable, and healthy snack or meal for those with a busy schedule.

Here’s another helpful fruit! Not only do bananas fill you up easily, they are also packed with fibre and vitamin B6 that can boost your immune system and lower the risk of diseases. Plus, bananas work great as smoothie, shake, yogurt, and oatmeal accompaniments!

These little bits of juicy goodness have one the highest levels of antioxidants which help fight cancer and boost heart health, earning its ‘Superfood’ title. It can be eaten in many ways but we will recommend blueberries as frozen snacks – especially on a hot day! Preliminary research has shown that the polyphenols in blueberries effectively fight fat cells.

Another berry effective fruit for weight loss is the strawberry. These anti-inflammatory fruits prevent chronic inflammation which can block the hormones that prevent fats. Additionally, the anthocyanins in stawberries stimulates the body’s metabolism and curbs appetite. Add these fruits to your daily diet, be it with your breakfast, as a snack, or even with salad.

The kiwi fruit is low in calories and high in fibre, keeping you full without the excess calories. This reduces your tendency to snack, which is a huge contributor to weight gain.

Coconut comes with a long list of nutritional benefits. For weight loss purposes, consume the fruit itself or coconut oil. Coconut’s saturated fat does not stay in your body as fat, but instead stimulates metabolism and digestion.
