Dr. Clove is here to answer that question.

Dr. Clove's recommendation: citrus fruits. Citrus is rich in fiber, plant active ingredients, pectin, and organic acids, all of which help ease the rate of blood sugar rise. The large size and water content make all kinds of citrus frequently recommended for weight loss.

What to eat with citrus if you're losing weight?

Common citrus fruits include oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and lemons, as well as the relatively rare grapefruit (also known as grapefruit). According to the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, you should consume 200 to 350 grams of fresh fruits every day.

Weight loss friends can then appropriately reduce the amount of fruit, eat a fist-sized amount of their own every day is appropriate.

1. Oranges

An adult fist-sized orange is about 200 grams. Tangerines have a relatively sourer flavor than oranges and sweeter than lemons.

Generally, it's best to choose to eat it before a meal to provide some satiety beforehand and avoid eating too much food in one meal; you can also choose to eat it at breakfast, which also helps to control the total calories.

Note: Orange three or two peeled to eat, there will be a problem of accidentally eating too much.

2. Oranges

Oranges are considered to be the best-tasting of the citrus fruits, and there are many varieties available, such as regular sweet oranges, navel oranges, and blood oranges ...... in both large and small sizes.

Like oranges, a fistful or so can be eaten before meals and at breakfast.

Note: Some people like orange juice, but it is less recommended for weight loss.

Juicing is an easy way to drink too much juice at once, and the juicing process can cause the loss of easily oxidized nutrients in the fruit.

3. Pomelo

A pomelo is about 3 to 6 kilograms, and a day to eat 1 to 2 petals of pomelo, it's about right.

Pomelo may not be so suitable for singles on a diet, and is suitable for sharing among many people. Of course, if you like it very much, you can still put the grapefruit in the refrigerator and eat it slowly. Peel off the skin of the grapefruit, you can also put in the refrigerator deodorization.

Note: As for the honey pomelo tea, weight loss friends also please think twice ah. Because honey grapefruit tea, in fact, is sugar water, must be moderate.

4. Grapefruit, grapefruit

Grapefruit, although also called "grapefruit", but it is actually another variety of imported fruit, so called "grapefruit".

One grapefruit weighs about 300 grams and tastes sweet and sour, much better than domestic grapefruit. The downside is ...... that it is slightly more expensive and less suitable for dirt eaters.

Note: Friends who have been taking certain antihypertensive drugs for a long time should not eat grapefruit, as it is likely to cause serious adverse reactions.

5. Lemon

Lemon, then, it is estimated that only the odd one out with a dysfunctional sense of taste can eat one a day.

If you use a lemon sliced in water, you can make water for at least a week, which is much better than drinking plain water. Instead of sweet drinks, it is even more unknowingly reduce the sugar, refreshing flavor also a little refreshing.

If the taste, price, size are considered, not particularly sweet small orange, the most suitable for dieters. The small domestic navel oranges commonly found on the market are a good choice.

Lemon diet, reliable?

Citrus fruits have all these advantages, so much so that a variety of diets conceptualized on them have emerged.

The more popular "lemon diet" is:

Drinking a lot of lemon water every day must be accompanied by 15 minutes of exercise, without the need to diet or fasting snacks diet.

It is said to be based on the principle that citric acid inhibits fat accumulation, lemon aroma prevents stress eating, and lemon water promotes blood circulation and improves metabolism. But in general, lemon water are soaked more light, so how many ingredients inside the water can retain the magical effect? It's doubtful. In addition, a small amount of citric acid is conducive to the repair of the gastric mucosa, but also has the effect of helping digestion and absorption.

The essence of the so-called "lemon diet" is to drink a lot of water to increase the feeling of fullness in the stomach, to dilute the gastric juices, and to try to achieve less food, or even diet.

Using this way of dieting to lose weight is likely to cause malnutrition, weight loss rebound. The lemon diet is unreliable, and so is any 'orange diet'.
