Oftentimes I have to explain to my
clients that fruit doesn’t make you fat. Most people think they can gain
weight from fruit because of the sugar, but there is a difference between the
sugar found in fruit and processed sugar in a candy bar. I am happy to say that
fruit can’t make you fat. The truth is citrus fruit can truly speed
up fat-burning and have you losing weight faster than ever.
Here are some tips on
how:
The flavonoid nobiletin in citrus fruits helps burn
extra fat, based on Canadian researchers those who got plenty of nobiletin on a
daily basis lost 87% more weight than those who didn’t.
What is Nobiletin-
it’s a flavonoid isolated from citrus peels; it is an o-methylated flavone that
has the activity to rescue bulbectomy-induced memory impairment.
Citrus fruits contain a rich
compound called d-limonene that activates key detoxification enzymes in your
liver, which causes you to flush out more fat every single day.
Here is a more complete
listing of the benefits of d-limonene can be found at http://www.thealternativedaily.com/eat-this-orange-fruit-to-protect-yourself-from-heart-disease/
Naringenin in citrus fruits improves
your cells sensitivity to insulin by 64% which fights off blood sugar spikes
and crashes that lead to cravings, mood swings, and weight gain.
