The Best Avocado Health Benefit, It Helps You Lose Weight
There’s evidence that avocados help you lose weight.
In one study, people who ate avocado as part of their meal felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat more in the next 5 hours, in comparison to people who did not eat this fantastic fruit.
If this holds in the long term, then including avocados in your diet may help you eat fewer calories throughout the day and make it easier to keep healthy eating habits.
Avocados are also high in fiber and very low in carbohydrates, these 2 should also help promote weight loss, assuming the rest of your diet is also on the healthy side.
