03:55How to eat fruit for weight loss?
03:58If weight loss is your goal, simply adding fruit won't be helpful.
04:02Use fruit as a substitute for sweets and other high calorie foods.
04:07Weight loss depends on taking in fewer calories than you burn.
04:11Most adults should aim for 1.5 to 2.5 cups of fruit daily.
04:15There's no evidence that eating fruit at a particular time of day helps with weight loss.
04:19But whole fruit is the most likely to satisfy hunger and keep blood sugar from spiking.
04:24Here are some ways to enjoy these fruits.
04:27Eat whole fresh fruit as a snack.
04:29Try unsweetened canned or frozen fruit.
04:32Add a side of fruit with meals, a healthy substitute for fries.
04:35Add fruit to foods such as cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, and muffins.
04:40Make fruit smoothies, ideally with whole fruits, and be mindful of other high calorie ingredients.
04:45It's usually best not to overeat any food, but it's hard for most people to overdo fruit.
04:50On the other hand, too much fiber can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
04:54And an all fruit diet can leave you with nutritional deficiencies.
04:58Fruit should be part of an overall balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, dairy, lean protein, and regular exercise.
05:06No single food alone can help you target weight loss in a specific body area.
05:11Summary
05:13Most fruits are nutrient-dense and good for overall health.
05:16Because they're high in water and fiber but low in fat and calories, they can help you manage your weight.
05:22Fruit alone won't help you lose weight, though.
05:24If the goal is to lose weight, choose fruit to replace calorie-dense sweets and processed foods.
05:29Fruit should be part of a varied diet that includes vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy.
