Eating an avocado at lunchtime can help you lose weight
Eating avocado keeps you full for six hours afterward, according to a study published last spring by NIH. They compared a control meal to an avocado meal and those who ate the avocado had high measures of appetite-suppressing hormones in their blood for six hours after eating the meal. The scientists attributed this hunger suppression to the perfect combination of fat and fiber in the whole fruit. "Avocados reduce your appetite for at least five hours after eating one," says nutritionist Lori Meyer, an RD who has reported on the wonders of avocado. The study concludes that people who eat avocados tend to eat less throughout the day and take in fewer calories when they ate an avocado for lunch, which results in weight loss.

Meyer's explains that the research proved "it’s not just the satiety value of the avocado or the monounsaturated fat, but there is a sugar [in avocados] called mannoheptulose, and this sugar helps the way your body uses the insulin [which] helps to reduce insulin resistance." So essentially avocado is a perfect combination of fat, fiber, and a plant-based carb that signals your body to burn more fat.

This natural process prevents the body from storing more fat. Instead, the body goes into fat-burning mode, which is why we call avocados, "nature's keto," because you need to eat a significant amount of fat on a keto diet in order for the body to enter ketosis, where it uses fat as energy instead of storing it. The result is that you lose weight. Meyer's advice is to eat an avocado around lunchtime so you will feel fuller until dinner and not be tempted to snack. If you are a snacker, she suggests snacking on avocados.

🍓Berries are a great option for weight loss, as they have a high water content and the lowest GITrusted Source of all fruits. Different berries have slightly different nutrient profiles, but they all contain essential vitamins and minerals that support general health.

🍓Replacing more fattening snacks with berries is a brilliant way to cut the calories you get from your diet when trying to lose belly fat and flatten your stomach. Berries are low in calories but very rich in dietary fibre, vitamin C and potassium - all of which are incredibly good for your weight and overall health. For instance, a single cup of blueberries contains about 4 grams of fibre but only 84 calories.

🍓Fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries all have scores below 40 of Glycemic Index.

According to nutritionist Pooja Makhija, mangoes can be included in weight loss diet. Make sure you eat the mango and don't consume it in the form of shakes or aamras or smoothes. "Stick to eating one mango in a day. Make sure you don't eat it with your meal and in between, enjoy one mango every day,"

Mango is high on fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
If you see the nutrition profile of mangoes - fibre, Vitamin C, copper, folate, Vitamins A, E, B5, K and B6, potassium, magnesium, manganese (the list goes on) - you will not question your choice of including them in your daily diet. However, fructose, the naturally present sugar in mangoes is what makes people doubt the king of fruits and refrain from eating them.

Mango is not just safe but recommended for people with diabetes and obesity for its rich nutrient profile.

Glycemic index of mangoes is 51, which technically qualifies it as low GI food. However, each person responds differently to different foods and if you have diabetes, it is the best to consult your expert before including mangoes or any other fruit in your diet.
