You do not need to starve yourself just to lose weight. You surely will not want to lose weight and have colon problems as a consequence. Losing weight is of getting rid of the unwanted fats in your body. That means, you must still take in food.
When you are into a diet plan, fat burning fruits are your best friend. Here are just few of the long list of fruits that will help you lose weight without depriving yourself of needed vitamins and minerals.
CITRUS- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is found to be efficient in fat oxidation. There have been studies made in America which proved that those who were given Vitamin C supplement (500mg/day) have 4 times fat oxidation rate after a month.
Citrus fruits are known to contain good amounts of Vitamin C based on RDA. Lemons and limes, grapefruit, tangerine, and oranges are good sources of Vitamin C. The fat burning potential of Vitamin C is increased 30% or more if you exercise.
Normally, women need only 75mg of Vitamin C everyday and 90mg for men. If you add citrus fruits in you diet everyday, you would surely decrease your blood cholesterol level and eventually would let your system burn fats faster. Specifically, grapefruit has been proven to help reduce your insulin level.
PECTIN- most fruits are rich in pectin. Apples, peaches, strawberries, pears, apricots, cherries and raspberries are just few of the long list. These fruits are rich in pectin that naturally blocks our cell walls to prevent fat absorption. Pectin binds water that forces the cell to release fat deposits. Berries are also rich in pectin.
FIBER-it is recommended that you add fruits rich in fiber in your diet. Berries are rich in fiber that helps lower blood cholesterol level. When you consume strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and cranberries, you feel full for a longer period of time. That means you will crave for food less frequently.
The good thing about berries is that they contain extremely low amount of calories. Fiber also works in weight loss in such a way that it slows down your digestion so you would not crave for food sooner after the last meal. Fiber also helps the flush fats from our food out of the system faster. This way, our system will less absorb fats.
Other fruits that can help you burn fats and lose weight are grapes, papayas, mangoes, tangerines, prunes, pineapples and watermelon.
