Fruits Will Hinder your Weight Loss Routine

Submitted by on May 5, 2008 – 10:08 amNo Comment

Fruits might just be the reason why you’re NOT losing weight. Fruits are harmful if they’re taken in excess, they digest really quickly and
when this energy is not used, they are stored as fats. So, fruits are not really as healthy as it is claimed to be.

The Fruity Introduction

Fruits, the pinnacle of all weight lost diets. There are countless people who will swear by the advantages of fruits and how it’ll help you lose weight. Wait, is this always true? Need your diet be “fruitful” in order to lose weight ? Fruits are made up of fructose, a simple sugar, they digest really quickly to give you energy, and when this energy is not used, it is stored as FATS.

Why are Fruits not Beneficial?

Fruits are good for general health purposes. They are beneficial when taken in moderate amounts, but if you’re going to just have fruits as your entire day’s diet, it’s going to hinder your weight loss plans. There are two different types of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Fruits are made of fructose, a simple sugar (carbohydrate). Simple sugars are the direct form of energy our body uses, they digest really quickly (high in the Glycemic Index) and if this energy is not utilized, it is stored as fats.

It is beneficial to consume food that releases energy slowly when you’re on a weight loss routine, and sadly, fruits are not able to give
you this effect. Food that releases energy slowly is complex carbohydrates. They are potatoes, wheat, oats and the lists go on. I have to stress

again, energy that is not utilized by the body is stored as fats and that is not an option for us.

Conclusion

Fruits are good when taken in moderation, but when you start taking too much of it, it will actually hinder your weight loss plans.
