Who doesn’t like eating fruits? Fruits are tasty. They help us fulfill our sugary cravings, and they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals.

But should you be eating fruits during your weight loss journey?

You can surely eat any fruit during weight loss as long as you stay in a calorie deficit. However, there are some fruits that will actually help you reduce weight.

So, in this blog, I am going to share with you five fruits, which will help you cut the fat from your body, and of course, they are available in Indian markets.

I have ranked these fruits considering various factors like glycemic load, the number of calories, and fiber content.

So, without any further delay, let’s get started.

Among the top 5 fruits for weight loss, ranked at #5 is 

Pear

Pear, which is known as Naashpati in India, is low in calories and is packed with nutrients. It is rich in a fiber called Pectin, which is known to suppress hunger.

Pears also help stabilize the cholesterol levels in your body.

They have a low glycemic load. This lower glycemic load results in the slower absorption of carbohydrates in the bloodstream. Lower the glycemic load (GL). The better it is for fat loss. 

GL above 20 is high, 11-19 is considered average and GL below 10 is low.

Hence, there won’t be any rapid spike or fall in the blood sugar levels. And if your blood sugar levels are in check, you will automatically crave other foods.

Pears are also full of antioxidants which help release the toxins from the body, further aiding in weight loss.

100 grams of pear has only 57 calories.

Pears are available this season (late summer to early winter in India). So, if you are looking for fat loss, go and grab some.

Apple

Apple is available in India all around the year. We all know the numerous health benefits of an apple.

And it finds a special mention when it comes to weight loss.

100 grams of apple has only 52 calories.

It is rich in dietary fiber, which keeps up full for a more extended period of time.

More importantly, apples are packed with polyphenols. Polyphenols are known to boost your metabolism. Polyphenols are micronutrients that we get through certain plant-based foods.

Polyphenols present in apple may also increase immune responses, detoxify cancer-causing agents, and repair cell damage.

When it comes to cutting fat from your body, high metabolism is your #1 weapon. The higher the metabolism you will have, the faster you will burn calories.

So, an apple a day keeps the fat away.

Oranges

Oranges are super rich in vitamin C, which is very helpful for weight loss.

Orange becomes a great choice of fruit in a weight loss diet as it is low in calories, low in glycemic load, and high in fiber.

100 grams of orange has only 47 calories. Orange is also known to keep your digestive system healthy. This keeps your body free from toxins because of smooth bowel movements.

Oranges are also rich in antioxidants, which keep your immune system strong.

Muskmelon

Muskmelon, also known as Cantaloupe, is known as Kharbooja in Hindi. Muskmelons are one of the best fruits when it comes to fat loss.

100 grams of muskmelon has only 34 calories.

Muskmelons are one of the best fruits that you can have for fat loss. This is because they are rich in beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a natural fat burner.

Beta-carotene stabilizes the blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance which prevents calories from being converted to fat.

Muskmelons are also high in water content, which gives your body a sense of fullness.

Few Honorable Mentions

Now before I will the top fruit for weight loss, here are a few honorable mentions.

1. Guava – 100gm Guava has 68 calories
2. Pomegranate – 100gm of Pomegranate has 83 calories
3. Pineapple – 100gm of Pineapple has 50 calories
4. Plums – 100gm Plums has 46 calories
5. Papaya – 100gm Papaya has 43 calories
6. Strawberry – 100gm Strawberries has 33 calories

Now coming back at Number 1.

Watermelon

The #1 fruit for weight loss, which is available in Indian markets is Watermelon.

Watermelon, as the name suggests, has 91% water and 6% sugar. Consuming watermelon will ensure that your body is hydrated.

And when you have plenty of water in your system, it automatically flushes toxins out of it. Proper hydration also ensures that you do not go for binge eating.

Because watermelon is so rich in water, as compared to other fruits, your body will feel satiated for a long period of time.

Not only this, but watermelon is also rich in beta-carotene, the natural fat burner. So, if you want to lose weight, watermelon is your go-to fruit.

Conclusion

So, these were some fruits that you should prefer when your goal is to lose weight.

You can have fruits at any time of the day. The best time to have fruits is post-workout as your body readily absorbs all the fruit sugars. Just avoid having fruits at night.

Fruits, if consumed at night, may disrupt sleep as they are acidic in nature. However, eating fruits at night is still better than eating chocolates and ice cream.

More importantly, I always prefer fruits that are in the season.
