Lose weight by eating fruit

In order to achieve your weight-loss goals, you must burn more calories than you consume. Incorporating fruit into your diet is a healthy and practical solution. 

Fruits are nutrient-rich foods that, not only reduce the risk of developing certain chronic diseases, but are also low in calories and sodium and high in fibre. Create a meal plan that includes more fruit to encourage weight loss whilst bearing the following in mind:

• Watch your calories. Although fruits have fewer calories than most other foods, you still need to control your portions.

• Eat fruit at breakfast. Add strawberries, blueberries or bananas to cereal and oatmeal. You can also use bananas as a base for fruit smoothies, which can help you meet your daily requirements.

• Eat fruit as a snack. Snacking helps you maintain a steady metabolism and prevents overeating. Grapes, which are eighty percent water, are a low-calorie option that can serve as a healthy snack or dessert. 

• Eat fruits that are high in fibre, such as bananas, apples, kiwis, pears and blueberries. High-fibre foods reduce the chances of overeating and help you to feel full for longer.

• Add fruits to create low-calorie meals. The water and fibre in fruit adds volume, allowing you to eat the same amount of food but with fewer calories. Try adding apples, raisins or pears to salads.

• Remember to eat well-balanced meals. Although fruits are a healthy option, eating them alone will not result in weight loss. Fruits should be combined with vegetables, whole grains and lean meats.

• Exercise. A healthy weight loss regime combines a low-calorie diet and physical activity. Ideally you should exercise three to five days per week. Jogging, brisk walking and cycling are all practical high-intensity workouts. Have a banana afterward; they're high in potassium and great after exercise.

Remember to consult with your doctor before engaging in any new diet regime.
