These 10 Fruits Can Actually Help You Lose Weight

Sweet, delicious apples are loaded with fibre, which keeps you satisfied between meals by regulating your blood sugar. For the perfect post-workout snack, top half an apple with peanut butter — protein helps build and repair muscle.

Oranges are rich in fibre but also water, and staying hydrated can help curb cravings. Try this energizing citrus smoothie to power through an afternoon slump.

Raspberries have the highest fibre content of any fruit, at 9 grams per cup. They're sweet and tart — perfect on their own, or baked into a high-protein, low-sugar lemon raspberry muffin.

Grapefruit boasts naringin, a compound that research suggests may lower blood sugar and promote weight loss. Try this spiced honey broiled grapefruit, a flavour-packed way to kickstart your day.

"Melons like honeydew and cantaloupe are great for weight loss because they're high in fibre and lower in sugar, despite the fact that they're sweet," Shauna Sacco, MS, RDN, a certified personal trainer and registered dietitian in Houston, told POPSUGAR. For a healthy and satisfying breakfast, fill a cantaloupe with protein-rich Greek yoghurt.

Like many of the other fruits on this list, juicy pomegranate seeds are high in satisfying fibre. "You can often buy pomegranate seeds frozen, which makes them an easy and great snack for weight loss," Sacco said. But they're also ideal for topping a salad, like this one with roasted pear and spinach.

Despite their sweetness, stone fruits (AKA those with pits) are relatively low in sugar, and have been shown to fight back against obesity. Try roasting them for this unique take on bruschetta.

Blueberries are famed for their heart-healthy antioxidants, but research has suggested that they may also help reduce belly fat. Whip up this vegan blueberry sherbert for an indulgent dairy-free dessert.
