Fruit diet, be careful to reduce your illness

Many celebrities advocate the fruit diet. Of course, celebrities have good figures to promote it. It seems that the fruit diet is really effective. But at the same time, many people oppose this weight loss method. Is this method good or not? What are the reasons for the opponents?

What is a fruit diet?

The fruit diet means that you only eat fruits and not eat other staple foods, meat, eggs, fish, etc. In fact, from the experience of many people, the method of losing weight by eating only fruits is indeed very effective and can reduce weight in a short period of time. In principle, it is because the fructose of fruits can easily make people feel full, but also actually reduce calorie intake; at the same time, high-fiber fruits can speed up people's metabolism, thereby increasing calorie consumption.

Among them, the more effective weight loss fruits are bananas, apples, raisins, kiwis, etc.

Unideal weight loss methods reduce calorie intake and can certainly lose weight in the short term. In fact, even if you don't use a fruit diet, halving your meal intake will quickly lose weight, but it may cause more problems than reducing your meal intake.

A People who rebound and lose weight quickly are afraid that after a hard round, the weight they lost will come back. Eating only fruit is also a painful thing, but after it takes effect, and then you return to normal diet, your weight will rise again.

B The nutrition that malnourished fruits can provide is limited. Eating only fruits for a long time will of course lead to malnutrition.

The protein of fruits is less than 1.5%, the fat is either 0 or very little, the starch is also very small, and the sugar is only 6 - 25%. Does it sound like an ideal diet meal? But without the necessary protein and fat, as well as other nutrients, many problems will occur in the human body.

C Irregular menstruation and eating only fruits for a long time can easily lower blood pressure. Women may also have irregular menstruation or even miss it, and their hair is split.

D Brain retardation An experiment in which mice were fed high-fructose water found that high-fructose intake impaired brain functions such as memory and cognition.

The Type 2 Diabetes Risk Study found that if a person drinks 1-2 cans of 250ml sugary drinks every day, his risk of developing diabetes is 26% higher than that of people who do not drink sugary drinks. Another study found that a daily intake of 40 grams of fructose or sucrose reduced liver insulin sensitivity while maintaining total calorie intake. Reduced insulin secretion or sensitivity are all causes of type 2 diabetes.

F High-fat fruits have no fat and sound like good weight loss. However, if you consume too much sugar, it will be converted into triglycerides (a form of hyperlipidemia) in the body.

Sugars can be broken down into fructose, as well as glucose. The rate of glucose conversion is controlled by a rate-limiting enzyme in the liver. When too much sugar is consumed and too much triglycerides are produced, this conversion slows down. However, fructose metabolism can bypass this rate-limiting enzyme and more easily convert into triglycerides.
