Top 5 fruits for weight loss

Fruit is definitely a smart part of a healthy diet. Listed below is the top5 fruits for weight loss according to reaserch.

Watermelon 


Watermelon is a double whammy: It’s low in calories with a high water content. This means you can eat two entire cups of watermelon for less than 100 calories and your stomach will feel like you’ve eaten more because the fruit is more than 90 percent water. Staying hydrated helps you feel full! If you’re looking to lower your daily calorie intake, incorporating watermelon into your diet is a smart move. Munch on it whenever you feel the urge to snack. This way, you’ll avoid higher-calorie foods and satisfy your sweet tooth.

1 cup diced watermelon: 46 calories, <0.5g fat, 2mg sodium, 11.5g carbs, 0.5g fiber, 9.5g sugars, 1g protein.

Apples

Apples are a common favorite. They're the ultimate snack: filling, juicy, crunchy, and portable. Studies have even shown that eating three apples per day can help with weight loss—not surprising, considering they’re chock-full of fiber, a nutrient that’s known to boost feelings of fullness and ward off hunger pangs. There are plenty of ways to get your daily dose of apple: Chow down on a whole Fuji (apples are such a packable snack!), add pieces to your oatmeal, throw slices into a salad, bake some with your chicken, or cook up a low-cal dessert.

Raspberries 

Raspberries are small but mighty! These babies are low in calories, and even lower when you consider that they’re high in insoluble (indigestible) fiber. When you eat a 64-calorie cup of raspberries, you’re really only digesting about 32 calories. Put
that together with the fact that raspberries have the highest fiber content of any fruit (1 cup = 8g fiber), and we’ve got ourselves a weight-loss winner. If you want to get creative with your berry
intake, make this Creamy Coconut Raspberry Smoothie! 1 cup

raspberries: 64 calories, 0.5g fat, 1mg sodium, 14.5g carbs, 8g fiber, 5.5g sugars, 1.5g protein

Grapefruit

Grapefruit gives you a lot of bang for your calorie buck. A medium grapefruit has only around 80 calories, and like watermelon, it’s more than 90 percent water. By the time you cut up the grapefruit, sprinkle it with a bit of no-calorie
sweetener, and eat the entire thing, you’re not gonna have the time or inclination to eat anything else.
Plus, studies have shown that a compound in grapefruit called naringin could lower blood sugar and ultimately lead to weight loss. So enjoy some grapefruit at every opportunity— squeeze it into your water, throw some wedges into your salad, or
use it like lemon to flavor your food. Keep in mind that consuming grapefruit with certain medications could have adverse health effects. If you’re on any meds, check with your doctor before adding grapefruit to your diet.

1 medium grapefruit: 82 calories, <0.5g fat, 0mg sodium, 20.5g carbs, 3g fiber, 18g sugars, 1.5g

Orange

Oranges are an amazing weight-loss fruit too. High in fiber and water content, they’ll help you feel full.
Another great thing about oranges? There’s almost always a variety in season and there’s no shortage of ways to add the fruit to your diet. Eat a whole orange as a snack or use mandarin orange segments in salads.

1 large orange: 86 calories, <0.5g fat, 0mg sodium, 21.5g carbs, 4.5g fiber, 17g sugars, 1.5g protein.
