How much fruit should you eat if you want to lose weight, you can eat all the fruits you want or vice versa, and what types of fruits are the most recommended if you want to lose weight?

Today's food is a fruit that has actually been banned in weight loss diets. Keep reading so you know if it is true or not, and what fruit you should eat and how you should eat it and any other fruit if you are on a diet.

The banana is indeed one of the fruits that are usually prohibited if we talk about diet to lose weight, but that because when we think about diets we almost always think of lowering the amount of calories consumed and the sugar contained in fruits and especially the banana, which is a food basically composed of carbohydrates at first glance would not be highly recommended for the amount of calories from sugar.

That is not necessarily so, and I will explain why, in most diets prohibit fruit and the reason is for the sugar content, which most have.

We start first with the properties of the banana. Each 100 grams of banana contributes approximately 9% of the daily requirement of potassium and also 8% of the daily requirement of magnesium, these two minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the muscular system, and for the state of mind this has always been the favorite of the athletes, has vitamin C, vitamin B6, provides approximately 3 grams of fiber that are not bad, the amount of fiber required in the day for an adult is about 30 grams. We have already discussed in the previous post that fiber is extremely beneficial, is super healthy and also helps a lot with weight loss and maintaining a good state of health in general.

As you can see the banana is very nutritious, I also want to compete another very important fact about it and is that depending on the state of maturity that is can be rich in resistant starch (this also speak in the post yesterday of food Nro 5 you can read here https://steemit.com/healt/@dyanna/food-5-of-the-series-of-30-healthy-foods-to-lose-weight) is a type of starch that acts as a fiber that is not digested and that is fermented in the intestine and has prebiotic and super healthy properties, because it has been recently shown to help in weight loss.

So if the banana is rather green, most of the starch they contain is in the form of resistant starch and this is extremely beneficial and helps the weight loss, as they are already maturing that starch is transformed into sugar and then the content of the fruit's own sugar, fructose, is already increasing.

Ok let's talk a little about the fructose sugar in fruits which is the real reason why fruits are banned in diets.

Fructose is a sugar that we need to avoid especially when it is consumed in large quantities because it is shown to be associated with insulin resistance, so excess fructose produces insulin resistance which is prediabetes is the previous step to diabetes and is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk and metabolic diseases.

The fructose that is in the fruits is accompanied by fiber, nutrients, vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, in this way a small amount of fructose is balanced, which does not happen when sodas or soft drinks or some other processed food are consumed. It has full fructose.

It depends on how mature you eat the banana and in any case you do not have to restrict yourself from eating fruits, you do not have to prohibit yourself from eating fruit, what you have to take care of is the quantity.

I do not recommend eating all the fruits you want, if your intention is to lose weight because you are going to consume a lot of fructose and this is bad in excess, it will not let you lose weight and it will also bring you health problems, even if the You eat in the juice juice form so be it homemade you have a lot of fructose that you'll want to avoid.

Consuming fruits is good for your health, you should only moderate your consumption, if you want to lose weight, or if you suffer from insulin resistance. I recommend two servings of fruit a day if you are on a diet and if you can not eat a little more especially at breakfast or before exercising.

Another good way to take advantage of all the benefits of banana and fruits in general is to eat them, whole and at breakfast time so that the body takes advantage of all that energy during working hours.

As not everything is black and white I also recommend that you make desserts with fruits like ice cream that you can make with the recipe that is in this link https://steemit.com/spanish/@dyanna/helado-de-aguacate-y-cambur
