Green fruits play an important role thanks to their high fiber content, low in calories, rich in water and rich in beneficial compounds that help control weight.
Some green fruits that can effectively support weight loss:
Avocado
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), avocados contain monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) that help increase satiety, reduce cravings and support belly fat burning.
Research from the International Journal of Nutrition shows that people who eat avocados regularly have smaller waistlines and a lower percentage of belly fat than those who do not eat avocados.
The fiber in avocado (6-7g/fruit) helps maintain stable blood sugar, limiting excess fat storage.
Eat 1⁄2 avocado for breakfast or mix it in salad to optimize weight loss.
Kiwi
Kiwi is one of the fruits with a low glycemic index (GI), helping to control insulin and limit excess fat accumulation.
Kiwi contains actinidin a natural enzyme that breaks down proteins, improves digestion, and reduces bloating.
The high fiber content (5g/fruit) makes kiwi an ideal food to help maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time.
Eat fresh kiwi or combine it with unsweetened yogurt to support better digestion.
Green Apple
According to the American Academy of Nutrition (AND), green apples are rich in pectin - a type of soluble fiber that helps slow down digestion and control appetite.
The antioxidant polyphenols in green apples have the ability to stimulate lipid oxidation, helping to burn excess fat.
Low glycemic index (GI = 39) helps stabilize insulin, limiting belly fat storage.
Eat green apples between main meals or before meals to reduce hunger.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers contain 95% water, helping to detoxify, reduce water retention and purify the body - an important factor in weight loss.
Cucumbers contain flavonoids and tannins compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects and support fat burning.
The extremely low calorie content (only 15 calories/100g) helps you eat a lot without worrying about gaining weight.
Cucumbers can be eaten raw, made into juice or combined with lemon to increase weight loss effectiveness.
Green gravel
According to the Mayo Clinic, green grapes contain resveratrol a polyphenol compound that stimulates lipid metabolism, helping to burn fat faster.
Resveratrol can stimulate body activity, thereby enhancing the process of burning calories.
Low glycemic index (GI =): helps control insulin and limit belly fat storage.
Eat a small handful of green grapes (about 100g) for snacks to help lose weight without worrying about increasing blood sugar.
