Can fruit really help you lose weight? How to use fruit to lose weight

Nowadays more and more people are suffering from obesity, which is very unhealthy. Some people only eat fruits and no other foods to lose weight, is that right?

People use fruit meals to lose weight

Every Thursday is Anjie's "Fruit Day". On this day, her three meals are mainly apples, tomatoes, bananas and other fruits and vegetables. Starchy staple foods and meat are not eaten at all. Fruits are rich in various nutrients, and the fat and starch content is relatively low. They have always been praised as a good product for health and beauty. Recently, a survey in Guangdong showed that more than half of urban people have included fruits in their daily health essentials.

Nutrition experts warn

However, nutrition experts warn people that it is unscientific to rely on fruit meals to lose weight, because the main nutrients in fruits are carbohydrates and some vitamins, and the normal functioning of the human body also requires other substances such as protein. Eating more fruits is good for maintaining inorganic salts, but fruits lack iron, calcium and other ingredients.

Disadvantages of long-term consumption of fruit as main meal

Therefore, long-term consumption of fruit as main meal will inevitably lead to the lack of these substances in the body, causing anemia, and may also cause other diseases over time. The correct way is to control weight gain by limiting the intake of fat and meat in the diet, and at the same time eat more cereals, milk, and fish to ensure that the nutrients needed by the human body are obtained.
