weight loss Eating Fruits and Veggies to Lose Weight

We all know that eating fruits and veggies is healthy and essential both for good health and to help us lose weight. You want fruits and vegetables that are low calorie yet high in fiber. This is essential for successful weight loss (along with exercising of course).

Both of these foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which are important to our health. They help us to look and feel our best as well as protect us from diseases. All in all, fruit and vegetables play an essential part in a weight loss diet.

Learn to Swap and Downsize

While a lot of people know that fruits and vegetables are healthy, they lack the knowledge in preparing them. Visit Punjabidesifoods.com and discover delicious new dishes you can create with these healthy foods.

If you are making Matar Paneer consider adding even more vegetables. They will add to the bulk without giving you extra calories.

Want to see what I mean?

Well, take a meal of grilled chicken and a baked potato topped with butter and cheese, the calorie count is almost 800 calories.

BUT if you eat a smaller portion of chicken and a smaller baked potato with fewer toppings, you can also eat some broccoli, carrots, and a salad for only about 500 calories. Switching to smaller portions and adding veggies allows you to eat more for fewer calories which is a win in my book!

Which Fruit and Veggies Will Help with My Weight Loss Journey?

Essentially, all fruits and vegetables will help you lose weight. Just remember you should eat roughly between 5-10 servings of veggies and fruits each day. Change things up every day, eating different varieties and colors.

All types of fruits and veggies will count toward the 5-10 serving recommendation. That means canned, dried, fresh, frozen, and even juice of fruit and vegetables can help you reach your goal.

Keep in mind that certain veggies and fruits are more filling than others. An apple will fill you up more than drinking a glass of apple juice. Just as eating a dried apricot won't be as filling as eating a fresh one.

What Counts as a Serving of Fruit or Vegetables?

So you want to eat more veggies and fruit to help you lose weight. The only problem is you don't know what counts as a single serving.

To help you reach your 5-10 servings of veggies and fruits each day, try the following:

  • One apple, banana, pear, or orange
  • Two plums or kiwi
  • 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked, or canned fruit
  • Two tablespoons hummus
  • 1/2 cup of other vegetables cooked or raw
  • 1/2 a grapefruit or avocado
  • One loaded tablespoon of raisins
  • Three dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup of grapes or berries or cherries
  • One cup of leafy greens
  • 3/4 cup of  fruit or vegetable juice
Also, you if want to lose weight more consider trying the Keto Diet. It's all about high protein and low carbs. Just remember some fruits and vegetables have higher carbs than others, but it's totally doable. Good luck guys!

    I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables now and I’m maintaining a healthy weight. But I don’t eat dairy and have cut down on my meat.

    I’ve been trying to keep as much fruit as possible at home. I have a sweet tooth and I snack on that instead. The trick is, if it’s a melon or something.. having it already cut in a clear bag or container so there is no excuse of laziness for eating junk.
