In childhood, everyone hears that fruits are healthy, but later they learn that their consumption needs to be limited due to calorie content. Is it possible to get better from fruit? How much should they eat?
Under certain conditions, the body is able to convert any products into fat accumulations. Therefore, you can recover from the fruit. But in fact, you just need to create the conditions under which all the nutrients from the fruit will be absorbed by the body, and all the excess will be effectively removed. To do this, you need to understand the theory of the question.
What are the reasons for gaining weight?
It should be noted that the caloric content of most fruits is not so high. The leaders here are bananas - 90 kcal per 100 g. But in apples and pears less than 40 kcal per 100 g. Apricot fruits contain 46 kcal per 100 g. That is, it would seem impossible to get fat from fruits with such calories. But now think how much fruit you eat per day per season? It is unlikely that you are limited to one apple a day and definitely do not eat 3-4 berries of sweet cherry. And if, for example, you want to eat a pound of these berries, then it will already be 260 kcal, that is a very solid figure. So the first risk factor is the amount of fruit and the inability to stop.
But there is an equally important factor. It is because of him that they get fat from fruits, including apricots, and grapes. This is a high carbohydrate content. For example, if you eat a kilo of sweet cherries, you will get 520 kcal, while 106 g of simple carbohydrates (mono- and disaccharides) will get into the body, which is a very serious load on the body.
Now let's think about how these carbohydrates affect blood sugar levels. In most fruits and berries, the glycemic index is quite low, since sugars here are represented by fructose. So there will be no insulin release, but it will not save from excess fat reserves. On the contrary, under favorable conditions for this, fructose will very quickly turn into fat, and even that which is deposited in the most dangerous places for health. For example, in the abdominal cavity, where it also affects the liver. Of course, this is not fructose in its pure form, it enters the body with fiber, but with significant amounts of these substances the body's fat reserves will increase.
There is one more dangerous factor. Insulin is not produced, it is true. But along with it, the peptide is not synthesized, that is, the hormone that is responsible for saturation. That is why we eat fruits in such large quantities. They only increase the appetite, but they can not saturate us. By the way, this also applies to any fruit juices, even freshly squeezed and without added sugar.
That is why the question whether you can eat fruit should be answered in the affirmative, but emphasize that only in small quantities. In addition, different people may have contraindications to certain fruits. For example, bananas cannot be eaten by people after a heart attack, because they increase blood viscosity. And this in combination with high calorie content makes them an undesirable snack during the diet.
Do they get fat from grapes?
Many people think that if they get fat from fruits, then even more from grapes. However, in fact, 100 g of grapes contain only 50 kcal. At the same time it is very good for health. For example, grapes contain fiber, normalizing the work of the intestine.
Often, nutritionists recommend a grape diet, in which these berries are combined with unsweetened yogurt, pumpkin, walnuts, and even seafood. However, grapes have contraindications. For example, it can not be eaten with diabetes mellitus, with gastric ulcer and intestinal ulcers. In diabetes, grapes should not be eaten because its use reduces insulin sensitivity.
The effect of apricots
Those who follow their diet, are often interested in, from apricots get fat or lose weight? In fact, the most important factor, as always, is the number of fruits eaten. Apricots are often considered very healthy, and rightly so. They contain a lot of ascorbic acid, mineral salts, which are absorbed by the body faster and better than from any other sources.
For weight loss, apricots are advised to eat when excess weight is due to edema. Apricots contain potassium salts, which promote the rapid elimination of sodium chloride from the body. This compound is a common salt, which contributes to fluid retention and swelling. In addition, they contain salts of phosphorus and magnesium, which improve metabolism, help normalize digestion, contain enough iodine for the functioning of the endocrine system. All this can give weight reduction. So the use of apricots in reasonable quantities will help make the figure slimmer.
But there are also contraindications. Many varieties of apricots contain sucrose in large quantities, so that you can not eat them with diabetes. With reduced thyroid function and with hepatitis, the substances contained in apricots, including carotene, will not be absorbed. Therefore, their use is limited. Before taking it is best to consult a doctor.
Berry good
With fruits, which are considered the main enemies of the figure, everything is relatively clear. But is it possible to recover from the berries? To answer this question, you need to understand that the berries are different. For example, watermelon is also a berry. In this case, you can often find references in the literature about the watermelon diet, which allows you to unload the body. Indeed, watermelons help to remove excess cholesterol from the body, they clean the kidneys, eliminate puffiness, increase the natural immunity. That is, watermelons help to lose weight. If you do not stick them with fresh buns, the effect will be only positive. The miraculous properties of watermelon are largely due to the diuretic effect, but they also have other useful qualities. But there are people who can not eat watermelons. These are mainly those who suffer from chronic kidney diseases (pyelonephritis, urolithiasis). In addition, sugar in watermelons are found in large quantities, and you cannot eat them with diabetes. Remember that watermelons are not consumed with coffee or tea, because then all the useful substances will be washed out from the body.
It is unlikely that anyone can imagine that black chokeberry can be eaten for your own pleasure. At the same time, it can contribute to weight loss. This rowan helps to remove excess fluid from the body, which reduces the weight as the swelling goes. But after a certain age, its juice can not be consumed, since the risk of blood clots increases. As for the red rowan berries, they have healing properties, but at the same time affect the blood clotting, so you can not use them for a long time.
Currant has qualities similar to those described above for mountain ash. Although they do not get fat from these berries, their main danger is the high content of acids (for stomach ulcers they cannot be eaten), as well as the ability to cause constipation.
Please note that all the mentioned fruits are very saturated.
The brighter the color - the more bioflavonoids contained in such berries.
Bioflavonoids are beneficial substances that protect our body from free radicals. They kill pathogenic flora and normalize the balance of microflora in the intestine. They also hinder the aging process, and in general have a positive effect on health. One of the champions here is the plum. These berries are considered a stimulator of carbohydrate metabolism. They cleanse the intestines, so they help to lose weight, although only slightly. Sometimes nutritionists even recommend a plum diet, because plum improves metabolism. But plums do not need companions. If you choose a plum diet, then nothing but plums, you can not eat!
