Fruits for losing weight:

Colorful & delicious towards your goal


If you want to lose a few pounds and feel well nourished at the same time, choosing the right foods, combined with feeling good about your needs, is crucial. To lose weight healthily and cultivate a appetite at the same time, we need more variety, because our system quickly becomes bored. Add good nutritional values to this and you are guaranteed an exciting, tasty and internally and externally revitalizing weight loss journey. The colorful world of fruit offers us a huge variety of options.


Whether as a fresh and healthy snack, as a sweet and sour ingredient in savory dishes, fried, as a compote, baked fruit for breakfast, as an ice cream sundae topping, in cakes and of course as a dessert if you want to avoid sugary desserts - fruit makes our lives more colorful, exciting and delicious, not to mention the great nutrients, fiber and antioxidants that act like a real fountain of youth.


In addition to other facts, in today's blog post you will find out which fruits are particularly low in sugar and therefore all the more beneficial for the weight loss process - here we go:

Fruits for weight loss:

Why are they so important?


Before we look at the specific fruits that are particularly beneficial during a weight loss journey, let's understand why fruits should play an important role in our diet in the first place if we want to lose weight.


Low calorie count:


Compared to other foods, most fruits are low in calories and consist largely of water, which also helps us to stay hydrated. Even a large amount of fruit does not upset our daily calorie balance and is therefore a wonderful substitute for dessert, for example.


Fiber:


Fruits are rich in fiber, which takes up a lot of space in the stomach and digestive tract, is digested more slowly, improves our digestion and helps to keep us full for longer.


Nutrients and antioxidants:


Fruits are packed with important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that boost the metabolism, promote fat burning, support our mental balance and give us a feeling of fresh vitality. True to the principle "You are what you eat", we simply feel just as fresh, lively and crisp when we eat ripe fruit regularly.


Natural sugar:


The sugar contained in fruit is natural sugar, which, unlike added sugar, has fewer calories and a better nutritional composition and wholesomeness that nourishes and revitalizes us on several levels.


The best fruits for weight loss


Now that we know the benefits of fruit for weight loss, let's take a look at some sugar-free fruits that can help you lose weight.


Apples


The old saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" has a kernel of truth. Apples are rich in fiber, especially pectin, which is great for digestion and cholesterol levels and helps you feel fuller for longer. Apples are also rich in vitamin C, making them a real immune booster. It's not for nothing that apples are our favorite fruit, which are also in season almost all year round.


Berries


Raspberries, blueberries, currants and blackberries are not only delicious, but also rich in pectin and therefore ensure a long-lasting feeling of satiety and stable blood sugar levels. They are low in calories and sugar and are a real fountain of youth thanks to their antioxidant content.

Grapefruit


Also low in calories and sugar and rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, the sweet and sour grapefruit also trumps with digestive bitter substances and certain compounds that boost fat burning in particular.


Watermelon


Isn't watermelon a beautiful fruit? It consists of around 90% water and it is also low in calories and sugar and can help us feel completely hydrated, especially in summer. At the same time, it has a draining effect and really flushes us out internally - pure detox!



Pineapple


Pineapple also impresses with its low-calorie, low-sugar properties, high water and fiber content, but especially with the enzyme "bromelain", which supports digestion and can reduce inflammation, which of course improves the general nutrient absorption a lot.


Avocado


Although technically a berry, the avocado is an excellent option for weight loss. Although it is not particularly low in calories, it provides very healthy unsaturated fatty acids that make us glow inside and out, boost our concentration and keep us happy. With its fiber, it also keeps us full for longer. It can be processed in an unimaginable variety of ways and gives all dishes a rich, creamy consistency. For example, mashed avocados turn alternative desserts such as vegan brownies or vegan chocolate cream into sinfully juicy desserts that are almost indistinguishable from the originals. Sauces and dips can also dispense with butter and mayo and instead benefit from the creaminess of a pureed avocado.

Papaya


Papaya contains the enzyme "papain", which aids digestion and, just like pineapple, promotes the general absorption of nutrients. Of course, it is also rich in fiber, antioxidants and immune-boosting vitamin C and its high water content makes our eyes beautiful.


Incidentally, black papaya seeds are often overlooked or thrown away, although they are actually rich in nutrients and have a number of health benefits. They contain more "papain" than the flesh and their slightly pungent taste already gives us an idea of how good they are for our metabolism. They are great on their own, in smoothies or as a topping. Caution: if eaten in excess, they have a laxative effect.


Pomegranate


Pomegranate seeds are rich in antioxidants and fiber, have an anti-inflammatory effect and are a great appetite suppressant due to their tart taste. They are also an ideal fruit for women due to their natural phytoestrogens, which are similar to female hormones.


Pears, apricots and peaches


These three favorites also belong to the low-calorie and low-sugar fruits that can support the weight loss process thanks to their high water and fiber content. They can be found almost everywhere and are easy to take with you on any outing.

How to incorporate fruit into your diet


Now that we know the best fruits for weight loss, the question is how to incorporate them into your diet. Here are some tips:


  • Smoothies: blend your favorite fruits with Greek yogurt or plant-based milk for a delicious and nutritious smoothie - preferably combined with herbs and metabolism-boosting spices like cinnamon, cardamom and turmeric


  • Fruit salad or yogurt with fruit: Add fresh fruit to your natural yogurt (possibly plant-based) to avoid ready-made sugary fruit yogurts, which often contain far too many additives.


  • As a snack: if you're out and about for a long time, always take a portion of fresh or dried fruit with you as a healthy snack.


  • As a dessert: replace conventional sugary desserts with a portion of sliced fruit or freshly cooked fruit compote with spices such as cinnamon & turmeric, which aid our digestion.

  • Homemade fruit juices: Avoid added sugar and preservatives by preparing your own fruit juices. Spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, pepper, cardamom, cloves, allspice and various herbs can also be added to taste to give your metabolism an extra boost.


  • Dried fruit: Dried fruits are a great way to satisfy cravings, especially when you're on the go. They are rich in potassium, iron and magnesium and are therefore real energy boosters that have a positive effect on your muscles and mental state.


  • Fruit in main courses: Some fruits go well with savory dishes. For example, pineapple can be a great addition to chicken or prawns. Many people are also familiar with the famous Indian mango chicken and the range of chutneys that turn any dish into an adventure and give our metabolism a real boost.


  • Fruit as a side dish: Serve fresh fruit as a side dish with meat or fish to add a touch of sweetness and freshness, e.g. grilled peach/pineapple skewers

Conclusion: fruits for weight loss


Fruits are not only delicious, but also extremely beneficial for weight loss by adding that certain vibrant, colorful "zing" to our diet and providing us with an almost endless variety.

Our current selection is consistently low in calories and sugar, high in fiber and rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Here and there, certain enzymes sneak in that are particularly good at boosting our fat metabolism.

By integrating a variety of fruits into your diet, you can not only lose weight easily thanks to the variety, but also improve your physical and mental health all round. The latter simply makes every journey easier and more enjoyable!

Remember that fruit is only one small aspect that will get you to your destination on your weight loss journey. A balanced and healthy diet is of course essential, as is regular physical activity in order to achieve the best individual results.
