Everyone who is on a diet, usually has a lot of fruit and
vegetables incorporated into their daily meals, but is that really going to
help you from keeping weight off?
Not all of the fruits we eat are that healthy for us. Many
of our favorite fruits contain a shit ton of sugar, which kind of defeats the
whole purpose of losing belly fat. I was actually surprised when I did my
research and found out how many of my favorite fruits that I eat every week
contain high amounts of sugar.
For example, bananas (my absolute fave), contain 17g of
sugar!
Pineapple contain about 16g,
Grapes- 23g!
Apples- 13g.
Now, I’m not saying to stop eating these fruits just because
they have a lot of sugar, BUT maybe cut back on your intake each week and start
eating more low-sugar fruits instead.
The best low-sugar fruits that you should add into your
diet, are raspberries (5g = 1 cup), kiwi (7g), avocado (1g), strawberries (7g =
1 cup), and blackberries (7g = 1 cup)
The best time to eat fruit is either first thing in the
morning, on an empty stomach, or as a mid-morning snack. By eating fruit on an
empty stomach, helps with your digestive system, and helps you feel more
energized. You should definitely avoid eating fruit right before bed time,
being that many of the fruits we like to eat (as I mentioned earlier), contain
a lot of sugar.
