Fruits You Need To Avoid If You Want To Lose Your Weight
1. Watermelon
Watermelon can have up to 17 grams of sugar per wedge (about one-sixth of the melon). Be mindful of portion size, one cup of watermelon chunks is just nine grams of sugar.
2. Grapes
Grapes are not the best option for weight loss. This fruit has high sugar content – about 16 grams per one-cup serving.
3. Mangoes
Sure, mango is a delicious fruit. However, this fruit also has high sugar content - up to 22 grams for a one-cup serving. Juliana Shalek, MS, RD, CDN, and owner of The Nutrition Suite, advised paying attention to every serving size.
4. Pineapple
Pineapple is also not a good choice to lose your weight. This fruit has up to 17 grams of sugar per one-cup serving.
5. Bananas
Banana can have up to 17 grams of sugar, and a large banana contains 120 calories.
"Although all fruit is very healthy, for weight loss, some higher-sugar fruits might not be the best choice," said Amanda Baker Lemein, MS, RD, LDN.
6. All-Fruit Smoothies
Be mindful of you all-fruit smoothies, particularly all fruit or a premade bottled version from the store, since could be a sugar bomb.
"Premade fruit smoothies sold at grocery and convenience stores are usually loaded with sugar. Drinking one or two of these smoothies per day could sabotage your weight-loss efforts," said Jillian Kubala, MS, RD.
7. Dried Fruits
Dried fruits are more caloric than a whole, fresh fruit. They contain more sugar per serving because they're in a condensed, dried form. It is better to eat whole fruit over its dried counterpart since whole fruits have water to keep you feeling full and hydrated.
8. Canned Fruit in Syrup
"Canned fruits can make a perfectly healthy and affordable addition to your diet as long as they aren't packed in sweetened syrup," Dr. Kubala said.
Opt for fruit canned in water or in its own juice over fruits canned in heavy syrup.
Oh fruits, I love fruits.
Vegan candy
Umm no, they don't make the fruits. More like vegan egg.
