I am fighting with my last leftover stubborn belly fat. I have done some research whether or not to add fruit in my diet. I would like to share with the forum what I have learned.
1. Grapefruit. According to this study, subjects eating grapefruits lost 1.6 kg in 12 weeks compared to the subjects using placebo who lost only 0.3 kg. One interesting result is that insulin resistance is found to be improved. However, subjects were obese people.
2. Blueberries and other berries. I think berries are well-known in the diet and fitness circles; antioxidants, less calories, nutritious etc. This study shows that blueberries improve insulin sensitivity. The study uses obese people.
3. Apple....... cider vinegar. I was trying to find a study on apples but instead I found one on apple cider vinegar. Of course, this is well know in the Rooshvforum. Here is the study.
These are what I found. I hope some of you will add to the list, either scientific studies or your own experiences.
