1. Myth 1: Fruit contains too much sugar so you should not eat it when losing weight.
Many people avoid eating fruit for fear that it contains too much sugar, but the sugar in fruit is actually natural sugar (fructose) and is not harmful if eaten in moderation.
Fruits not only provide sugar but also contain many vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. In addition, the water content in fruits helps you feel full longer and control your appetite. Therefore, fruits are a great choice for those who want to lose weight without worrying about gaining weight.
2. Myth 2: Fruits contain a lot of carbohydrates, causing weight gain
Fruits contain carbohydrates, but most of them are healthy carbohydrates from fiber. Fiber not only helps keep blood sugar levels stable, but also helps your digestive system function properly and makes you feel full longer. The natural carbohydrates in fruit are good for your body and support weight loss, not the cause of weight gain.
3. Myth 3: Avocado makes you fat
Avocados are often avoided on diets because of their high fat content. However, these fats are mostly healthy fats, which can help control appetite and keep you feeling fuller for longer. Many studies have shown that consuming healthy fats in moderation can actually promote weight loss rather than weight gain.
4. Myth 4: Blending fruit destroys fiber and reduces nutrients
Some people think that pureeing fruit will destroy the fiber and nutrients. In fact, pureeing fruit does not destroy the fiber, but it may lose some nutrients due to oxidation if left for a long time. However, if you drink it immediately after blending, the fruit retains most of its nutrients and is a great choice for a snack or breakfast.
