Top 10 Fruits for Weight loss

Top 10 Fruits for Weight loss

Fruit often gets a bad reputation in the weight loss world because they are typically high in sugar. However most fruit contain many nutrients that are beneficial to your health. Some can also help keep you full while eating fewer calories. I have provided a list of top 10 of fruits and why they are the healthier choice in the fruit world.

Berries: Berries contain important vitamins. They also have very many positive effects on cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and inflammation. Berries are also low in calories, so be sure to fill up on these!

Strawberries: Based off my list below, strawberries and bananas actually have the highest amounts of sugar, but provide great amounts of packed nutrients that outweigh the sugar. There are 3 grams of fiber and only 50 calories for a cup of strawberries. And for me, because I crave candy often, this is one of the closest fruits to crave your satisfaction of sugar instead if something much worse.

Grapefruit : Grapefruit is a healthy snack before main meals to help reduce your overall food intake. Because of it's high water content it will help increase your fullness, and not providing very many calories. Crazy enough, it takes more energy for your tummy to digest the grapefruit than the amount of calories. They are also high in vitamin C and A.

Apples: Who doesn't love apples? They are high in fiber, low in calories, and can also be quite filling! Even better, studies show they may help support weight loss. Great snack and easy to carry around!

Melons: Melons are high in water content, as well as being low in calories. So in the summer stay hydrated with some melons while losing weight.

Banana: Bananas are filled with potassium and ample nutrients. Because they are jam packed with nutrients and fiber, they are a great part of a weight loss plan. Even though they have more sugar than other fruits, if you eat a banana, it is better than heading straight to candy.

Avocado: My Favorite. Even though avocadoes are high in fat, they help promote weight loss and weight maintenance. Often times people do not realize if you cut out a tremendous amount of carbs in your diet, then you must increase your "good fats" content high enough to keep your body and metabolisms operating optimally. So by having an avocado this will help increase your good fats. Higher fats increase metabolism and testosterone levels. These levels are the main once that help in fat loss.

Oranges: Other than smelling fresh and so clean, oranges actually provide fiber and a great amount of Vitamin C. They can also keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the day.

Kiwi: Kiwis low in calorie and high fiber. They are perfect for a weight loss plan. In addition they provide tons of nutrients and a range of health benefits.

Passion Fruit: Passion fruit is a low-calorie, high-fiber fruit that may benefit blood pressure and insulin sensitivity. Therefore another one to your list of ideal fruits for weight loss.

The Houston Astros are looking to avoid an unexpected sweep Wednesday night as they wrap up their three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians at Daikin Park.

Winners of six of their last ten despite back-to-back losses, the Astros (55-37) turn to left-hander Brandon Walter (1-1, 4.15 ERA) to steady the ship and salvage the finale. Walter has been reliable in his recent outings, and he’ll face a Guardians lineup that has struggled to string together hits, batting just .204 over their last 10 games.

Cleveland (42-48) entered the series on a 10-game losing streak, but now has a chance to sweep the AL West leaders and take the season series. Slade Cecconi (3-4, 3.56 ERA) gets the start for the Guardians. The 26-year-old righty has kept his ERA under 4.00 this year and will look to neutralize a Houston offense that leads the American League in batting average at .260 and is hitting .295 over the last 10 games.

All eyes remain on Jose Altuve, who has driven in 16 runs and slugged four homers over his last 10 games. He’s been the heartbeat of the Houston offense, while Isaac Paredes continues to deliver steady power at the top of the lineup. The Astros have scored five or more runs in eight of their last ten games, but the bullpen faltered late in both of the first two games of this series.

Cleveland counters with the steady presence of Carlos Santana and the always-dangerous Jose Ramirez. Though Ramirez is just 6-for-38 in his last 10 games, he’s delivered key home runs in the series and remains the Guardians’ biggest threat.

With the season series now 3-2 in favor of Cleveland, Wednesday’s matchup carries added weight for the Astros as they look to regroup and avoid letting momentum slip further. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET.

BETMGM SPORTSBOOK LINE: Astros -144, Guardians +121; over/under is 8 runs

What stands out? First off, Jake Meyers returns to the lineup after missing a couple of games with a calf issue. With Meyers back in the two-spot, Cam Smith returns to hitting cleanup. Caratini is playing first base again and hitting fifth, followed by Yainer Diaz (C), Cooper Hummel (DH), Taylor Trammell (LF), and Mauricio Dubon (SS).
