Fruits: When is the best time to eat them?

Fruits are an integral part of a healthy diet, they are low in calories and rich in nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. When consumed in moderation, they can help you shed stubborn pounds, but does the timing of when you eat them affect their benefits?

Fruits "disperse" excess pounds

Fruits are a smart addition to a weight loss diet plan because they: are low in calories.

They're full of fiber, which slows down digestion and helps you feel fuller longer after eating. This can help you eat fewer calories and thus create a calorie deficit, which is necessary for fat loss. Research even shows that high-fiber diets can help you lose weight, even without restricting calories.

When is the best time to eat fruit?

Some studies suggest that you can maximize weight loss benefits by eating fruit before meals.

For example, a small study of 17 men found that participants who ate an apple before a meal experienced significantly higher levels of satiety than when they ate it after a meal. They also appeared to reduce their calorie intake by 18.5%. /CNA
