As Diwali is just a week away, this is the ideal time to prepare healthy changes to your diet to prevent you from developing acid reflux, bloating, or heartburn as well as prepare for the delectable cuisine you will be cooking at home for friends and family. Before Diwali, you can also reduce weight by following a healthy food plan. Fruit-eating is a great approach to losing extra weight.

Fruits for Weight Loss

Fruits are satiety-inducing and high in fiber. They also prevent harmful cravings, which will encourage you to eat fewer snacks and help you lose weight. Fruits contain natural sugar as well, so snacking on them may help you avoid those annoying sugar cravings. Numerous research also points to a connection between eating citrus fruits and losing weight. Due to their high soluble fiber and flavonoid content, they may also contribute to boosting HDL cholesterol while reducing triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

Weight Loss Fruits Before Diwali

Experts say that eating these 5 fruits could help you lose weight faster:

  • Watermelon: Due to its low-calorie content and filling quality, it might be a useful friend during your weight loss journey. However, one must be careful with the serving size as it has a high-water content and may make some people feel bloated.

  • Lemon: Citrus fruits help with digestion and are high in antioxidants, which keep the metabolism going. They also help in fat burning and cleansing the body. Lemon is best consumed when added to detox waters.

  • Apple: Apples are high in fiber and low in calories, which keeps you satiated.  A number of studies support the fruit's ability to help in weight loss.

  • Orange: Oranges are a great source of antioxidants, have a lot of water and fiber, and are high in vitamin C. A study by the University of Western Ontario study discovered that the chemical in sweet oranges and tangerines reversed mice's pre-existing obesity, reduced the size of their fat cells, and raised the energy they expended.

  • Tomatoes: Tomatoes are amazing for weight loss since they are low in carbohydrates and high in soluble and insoluble fiber. They also help lower bad cholesterol and contain amino acids that burn fat. To be clear, ketchup and canned tomatoes are not the same things as raw tomatoes.
