Looking At The Fruits That Are Best To Eat If Trying To Lose Weight

A lot of people naturally tie "eating healthy" together with "losing weight," but one thing they may not know (or, at least, that they are shocked to realize!) is that fruits are high in both carbohydrates and sugars - and of course, carbs and fruits are two of the main things you will want to avoid if you are trying to lose weight; because of this, it is helpful for you to make sure you know which fruits are still good to eat if you are wanting to lose weight, and which fruits you should try to avoid.

For the most part, the more sweet a fruit is, the more sugar it will be carrying inside it (and the worse it is for you if you are trying to lose weight); this means that even as delicious as fruits such as pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, and mangos are - along with most other "tropical" fruits - they will be best left alone if "losing weight" is your primary goal.

The second category of fruits are the ones that are not exactly "great" for helping you lose weight, but are not bad either; these fruits include such favorites as apples, oranges, and cherries - but you should also realize that drinking the juice of these fruits is not the same as eating these fruits, and that the juice of these fruits will have a lot more carbs and sugars in them!

And in the final category, you will find the fruits that will not be a problem at all for you if you are trying to lose weight: berries pretty much dominate this category, as everything from blueberries to blackberries to raspberries to cranberries will be excellent fruits to focus on in your efforts to lose weight.

Of course, you should not think too hard about what fruits you are eating when you are trying to lose weight - after all, if you are even at the point of asking which fruits are best, you are far beyond most people who are still chomping on breads as they try to lose weight - so simply use these tips as a guideline, and remember that really, fruit is great for you no matter what!
