What Are The Best Fruits To Eat For Fat Loss?

BY KELSEY HEENAN, HIITBURN.com

Fruit often times gets a bad reputation when it comes to fat loss because it contains sugar. That said...

Fruit contains many different nutrients that are beneficial to your health and can help you feel better, increase results, give you energy, and more. 

I've found that there are some fruits that are better than others when it comes to fat loss. Below, I will outline the 5 fruits I recommend as well as the one I eat daily. 

Now, WHEN you eat your fruit is important too, and I'll be covering that below as well..

So, what are the best fruits for fat loss?

Lemons provide a ton of health benefits which is why I have them every single day. Not only can they help aid in digestion and detoxify your body, they contain lots of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and copper. 

When To Eat Lemons: First thing in the morning and before meals. I've found that first thing in the morning is best to help flush your system. 

Berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are packed with antioxidants that have been shown to improve overall health, aid in digestion, and are great for satisfying that sweet tooth. Plus, they are a great source of fiber and lower in sugar than most other fruits. 

When To Eat Berries: I recommend eating berries at night or post workout. Having some extra healthy carbs (like berries) before bed has been shown to increase results and is a great dessert option (especially when you add it to some dark chocolate). On the next page, I'll cover more about why I eat more carbs like berries at night...

Grapefruits are known for being a "weight loss fruit", however, that's not why they are on my list. Instead, I love that grapefruits are such a nutrient powerhouse. They are packed with fiber, potassium, lycopene, and vitamin C. Plus, I've personally found that they give a good energy boost before a workout!

When To Eat Grapefruit: As an afternoon snack or before your workout. I've found that 1/2 a grapefruit in the afternoon or before your workout is the way to go. Make sure to include a protein source as with it as well. 

Although Pineapples are higher in sugar, they are great to eat in smaller quantities as they help with digestion, nutrient uptake, can reduce bloating, increase recovery from your workouts, help with inflammation, and more. 

When To Eat Pineapple: Post workout. Like I mentioned, pineapples are higher in sugar. However, having a few pieces post workout is a great option as it will help with recovery and eliminate soreness.

Apples are probably my go-to fruit because they are so easy to carry around while you are on the go. They make for a perfect snack food, and are one of the best fruits to have on hand. Plus, apples are lower in sugar and calories than many other fruits and still give you a ton of nutritional benefits.

When To Eat Apples: Pre workout, as a snack, breaking your fast. Apples are very versatile as you can bring them pretty much anywhere. Personally, I like having them pre workout or on my higher carb days like I'll cover on the NEXT PAGE...

The short answer is YES! And on the NEXT PAGE, I'll cover the best times to eat your fruits (and carbs) so that you can get your best results while including them in your daily meal plan...
