The benefits of dried fruit during weight loss

Dried fruits became real superfoods when nutritionists and doctors started talking about them. Preserving the full vitamin and mineral complex and without contraindications, they won the love of the sweet tooth, who want to overcome their addiction and all adherents of healthy nutrition and sports. But is it that dried fruits are useful during weight loss, as they are said.

The first thing that causes suspicion is the sugar content and simple carbohydrates, these components increase the calorie content. For example, 100 grams of dried apricots contains 50 grams of sugar, and the calorie content of apples is 231 kcal per 100 grams of the product.

What do the experts say?

Nutritionists recommend that you do not abuse dried fruits by eating no more than 3-5 pieces a day. This applies to raisins, apples, pears, prunes. Also, diabetics should be treated with such accuracy and consult a specialist before inclusion in the diet.
Dried fruits are also present in well-known diets. So the Ducan diet recommends eating dry fruits once a week due to the high content of carbohydrates. In the 6-petal diet, based on fruits, it is allowed to drink compote from dried fruits (apples, figs, dried apricots) and at the end of each week consume no more than 5 pieces at a time.

The main advice – you can eat dry fruits only after the main meal, so as not to violate the daily norm, eating fasting is very likely to overeat.

The most affordable product is dried apples. They contain vitamins of group B, PP, C, calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus and other substances necessary for the body. By including them in the diet, the level of energy increases significantly, stress and insomnia pass.

For complete weight loss, complex products are not needed; everything that is good for the body is found in plant foods. It is necessary to receive micro and macrocells in natural ways, unfortunately, medicines can never replace fruits and vegetables.
