To eat or not to eat? Losing weight and eating less are not synonymous. Nutritionist have struggled to make everyone understand that, but in vain.

However, fruits can be a plausible solution to this dilemma. With high content of pectin and fibre, most fruits, in fact, help in burning excess lipid and increasing the rate of metabolism. Speaking of vitamins and minerals, there are only a few that can match up to the nutrient content of fruits.

But you must know— if you juice it, you lose it. Fruit juices are nice and refreshing. But the proper way to have fruits is to have the whole of it. That way you do not lose its nutritious fibre.

To make the situation easier for you, here is a list of fruits which you can gorge on as much as you like without worrying about gaining weight.
