In fact, fruit is a snack, and it is best to eat it between meals. If you want to lose weight, you can eat some fruits 20-40 minutes before meals, which can prevent obesity caused by overeating. Fruits are generally low in calories. Eating fruit before meals, which is rich in fructose and glucose, can be quickly absorbed by the body to meet the body's urgent "thirst" for energy. The crude fiber in the fruit can also make the stomach feel full, which can reduce the amount of food intake for dinner.

Many people will feel hungry before eating, but considering that eating is coming soon, they can't eat food that is easy to get full, so they choose fruit. In fact, this is a bad behavior, because eating fruit before meals will increase the feeling of fullness and affect the digestion of food after meals, which is very bad for the stomach.

Moreover, the sugar content in the fruit is very high, and it will be converted into glucose in the body soon, but it will be absorbed by the body, which will increase the weight. Therefore, people who want to lose weight, it is best not to eat high-sugar fruits before meals, but to eat apples or bananas and grapes. These fruits are not very high in sugar and can be safely eaten.
