3 Fruits for Weight Loss Success
A major benefit of adding these fruits to your diet is being able to have as much of them as you would like without eating too many calories.
Watermelon
Watermelon is a go to for weight loss. This fruit is so hydrating – it is over 90 percent water! This means that you are keeping yourself hydrated while delivering the second benefit that watermelon has to offer to your body, amino acids. This combination comes in at less than 40 calories per serving. This means you are getting nutrients, vitamins, hydration, and a filling bowl of fruit at very little cost to your weight. In fact, you are releasing the hydration into your body which helps move toxins out. This means that the toxins are no longer stored and neither are any blocks that may be preventing you from dropping weight.

Apples
Can you believe that apples can help you drop unwanted weight? Apples also have a high content of water. They also help boost your metabolism and help to regulate your hormones and your blood sugar.

Bananas
Bananas are my go-to fruit. They are a super easy quick snack and a staple in smoothies. Bananas can give you a post workout energy boost because they pack energy into just a bit over 100 calories. They help with inflammation that can prevent you from dropping weight since it can retain water and can cause pain in the joints and blockages in your system, especially your digestive tract. Keep that in mind when you grab your next banana for a post workout boost.

This will help give you quick on the go snacks and ensure you are getting as many fruits as you can during the day.
I am a New England mama of 3 kids, 3 kitties and 2 puppies! I grew up in the great state of NH and blog about all things healthy and natural near Nashua and Boston.
I had no idea that watermelon was a good source for weight loss. I have heard about apples and bananas being good for weight loss. I have to make sure to buy some more watermelon.
I”m surprised bananas made it onto the list since they are so high in sugar. Great for muscle recovery and potassium, but not if you’re trying to lower your sugar intake.Apples and watermelon are great though!So much fiber and water!
Thankfully I love all three of these!
