When cutting calories, some people give up fruit entirely.

And they thereby make a gross mistake.

Yes, fruits do contain sugar, which many dieters are so afraid of.

But this is not a reason to completely exclude sweet fruits from the menu.

This approach is fraught with serious consequences.

Why You Shouldn't Give Up Fruit

Because they are sources of vitamins and fiber.

Completely giving up fruit can lead to a person getting tired faster and feeling weak more often.

Problems with the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system cannot be ruled out.

The weight loss process may stop: there is a high risk of “breakdown” due to hunger and lack of sweets.

In addition, a person who does not eat fruit may receive little vitamin C. But this component is important for metabolism and weight loss!

Therefore, do not give up sweet fruits (unless, of course, you are not allergic to them).

The main thing is to maintain moderation. Make sure that the fruits added to the diet do not exceed the maximum caloric content of the diet.

It is advisable to pay primary attention to dietary fruits: citrus fruits, apples, pears, peaches. Bananas and persimmons should be consumed with caution.

And let us remind you: before changing your diet, a person should consult a doctor.
