As we’ve already seen, the fruits play a vital role in the GM diet plan for weight loss. Generally, fruits are satiating as most of them contain lots of water. The fruits are nutrient-dense and are low in calories. They contain lots of fiber and thus aids in digestion. Fruits can also help keep the sweet-tooth under good control. So, when you make eating such fruits your daily habit, you’ll be less likely to munch on the fast foods or unhealthy snacks. This will help you be under your daily caloric goal, thereby letting yourself lose weight naturally.

P.S: If you’re following the 7 day General Motors diet, then you can have all these fruits (except bananas) on the days when the fruits are allowed i.e., day 1, day 3 and day 7. On the day 4, you can have the bananas.

All the below listed fruits are wholesome in themselves and so you don’t crave for unnecessary foods after eating them. However, in order to reap the weight loss benefits of these fruits, it is advised to have them in moderation.

1.Avocado


Out of all the fruits available, Avocado has got many special health benefits and it is also the best weight loss friendly fruit. The Avocado is rich in Omega 9 fatty acids and is very efficient in boosting your metabolism. If you don’t know already, rise in the metabolic rate helps your body burn more fat than usual. So, what are you waiting for? Prepare a vegetable salad with this special ingredient and lose pounds easily.

2.Watermelon


I’ve already mentioned the benefits of watermelon many times in my earlier articles. It doesn’t contain any fat and is very low in calories. A single glass of watermelon will give you roughly 50 calories, but fills you up very easily. The watermelon is also rich in Vitamins A, B, C and lycopene. Several studies have proved that it protects against cancer and heart diseases.

If you’re following the General Motors diet or any diet for that matter, including the watermelon in your diet will help you eat fewer calories than normal, thereby letting you lose weight faster.

3.Grapefruit


This special fruit is very beneficial for weight loss. Many studies have proved that people who consume grapefruit every day have lost more weight than their counterparts who didn’t eat this fruit. Since, it is high in carbohydrates, you can have it for breakfast as it gives you energy boost in the morning. Another health benefit of grapefruit is that it helps in improving your digestive process.

4.Orange


The oranges are low in calories and high in water content. So, you’ll feel full for longer periods when you eat this fruit. No more unhealthy snacks in between your meals. Just eat the oranges and you won’t munch on other foods.

5.Apple


As the oldies say, it is true that an Apple a day keeps the doctor away. Thanks to its high fiber and water content, you’ll be having a feeling of fullness after you had an Apple. Can’t control your appetite in between the meals? Then have a bite of Apple. It is also rich in Vitamin A.

6.Lemon


This popular citric fruit is very helpful in losing weight naturally. You can squeeze a lemon in a glass of warm water and add 1 tsp of honey. This miraculous drink will help in weight management if taken on a daily basis (in the morning on an empty stomach). The lemon is rich in Vitamin B, C, Riboflavin, Phosphorus and Magnesium. You can also squeeze the lemon juice to enhance the taste of the salads.

7.Banana


The Bananas are a high calorie food, but if taken in moderation, they’re one of the best fruits for weight loss. Just have a large banana and sip a glass of water. You won’t likely to eat at least 1 to 2 hours. It would give you a full stomach and help you avoid any food cravings. Bananas are also rich in soluble starch, which helps in improving your digestion.

P.S: If you’re following the 7 day GM diet, then it is advised to eat Bananas only on the fourth day. On the remaining days of the diet, please avoid this fruit. However, you can have it daily on the normal days (when not on the GM motors diet).

8.Pineapple


The Pineapples are very rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. 100 g of Pineapple contains just 50 calories, zero fat and cholesterol. It also gives around 46% of the recommended daily allowance of Manganese and has 80% RDS of Vitamin C. However, it is advised not to eat dried pineapples as they contain around 245 calories per 100 g. So, if possible, consume only fresh pineapples to lose weight.

9.Pomogranate


The pomegranate seeds are rich in antioxidants, fibers and water content. It contains 40% RDA of Vitamin C and gives an instant boost to your immunity. They also lower your blood pressure and are good for heart. Since, it is high in fiber and low in cholesterol & fat, you can eat this fruit to lose weight naturally.

10.Berries


The citrus fruits like Blueberries, Strawberries, Cranberries, Raspberries etc…are great for digestion and contains very less carbohydrates. They’re packed full of nutrients and are low in sugar content (unlike the mangoes). This is the reason why they’re always lauded as one of the best fat burning fruits.

Well, these are the best fruits that help in weight loss. Here, I’d like to mention another important point. There is a myth that fruits are not weight loss friendly as they contain sugar. But, the truth is that it is not our regular sugar and is known as fructose, the fruit sugar. So, leave the myths behind and enjoy these weight loss fruits on moderation.
