Intuitively, fruits always qualify when we go on a diet or a weight loss regime. The more natural and non-processed our diet is, the more we think we're on track to lose weight. While most of that is true, sometimes it's important to choose our fruits carefully. (who would ever think that, right?). Sounds counterintuitive but certain ones don't really qualify as fruits for weight loss.  We say this because you're putting in an effort and have certain goals set for yourself, we'd hate for you to make uninformed decisions and get deceived by the innocent healthy image of certain fruits which actually don't let you lose weight at all, in fact, they do quite the opposite. 

Some fruits do not make it to the list of fruits for weight loss because they are excessively sweet or have a high-calorie count. Some of the examples are grapes, dry fruits (especially prunes and raisins) and you're going to hate the third one because it's all our favorite, Mangoes. (Yes you've heard that right) Mangoes may have hidden calories that may hinder your weight loss plan. 

But it is also important to remember that although some of these fruits are too sweet or contain hidden calories, they also hold a lot of other health benefits. For times when you face sugar cravings, you could guiltlessly pick out one of these fruits over cakes or desserts but don't include it on your weight loss plan.

So which fruits is good for weight loss,? Here are some fruits that actively help in weight loss. Don't hesitate to go pick them out right away. (Hope we've featured some of your favourite fruits too)
