Is it true that you can gain weight from eating fruits?
We consume a lot of fruits for our health
and skin!
They attract us with their sweetness and
various scents.
There are many people who don’t eat fruits
as they’ve heard that fruits can make them gain weight.
So today, we will find out if fruits
actually make us gain weight or not.
01 Do fruits make us fat?
It’s not true that all types of fruits make
us gain weight.
The important factor is the GI (globin
insulin) figure of fruits.
Fruits with low GI figure are actually
helpful on diet while providing vitamins that our body needs.
Fruits with high GI figure contain much
fructose which could change into fats easily.
Fruits with high GI figure include
watermelon, oriental melon, tangerine, grapes, melon, etc.
On the other hand, fruits with low GI
figure include grapefruit, kiwi, green apple, tomato etc.
02 Then will fruits with high GI figure make
me fat unconditionally?
The answer is No!
Even when you are consuming fruits with
high GI figure, you can prevent weight gain by changing the way that you
consume them.
The GI figure increases when you use
blender to consume fruits, thus it is ideal for you to eat fruits without
processing them.
Also, it is more effective for you to
consume fruits in the morning as the activation of vitamin inside the fruits
takes about 3~4 hours after consumption.
It is ideal for you to consume fruits
before or during the meal, rather than having them as dessert as this can
prevent overeating. This is important as the speed of sugar absorption gets
faster if you eat fruits after your meal.
You could also access dried fruits such as
dried mango in markets easily.
Make sure to drink adequate amount of water
while you are consuming dried fruits!
Also, please be aware that you are not
consuming too much sugar as dried fruits are usually processed with surgery
while they are getting dried.
Thus please read through the nutrition label
thoroughly!
Fruits are often misunderstood as a reason
for people to gain weight!
However you don’t have to worry about this
anymore as fruits are way healthier than artificially made sugar, cookies or
breads!
Also fructose doesn’t get stored in our
body as fat!
