Feel Fuller for Longer: Add Avocado to your Lunch
Avocado can be a confusing one to know whether to eat lots of or not, especially when trying to shed a few pounds. It's true, they are high in fat. With nearly 300 calories in one avocado, it can be pretty daunting to eat avocado if you want to lose weight! Don't let this put you off though, as avocados are actually really good for you. Unlike the ‘bad’ fats found in processed foods and red meat, avocados are full of healthy, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They're nutrient-dense, packing in up to 20 vitamins and minerals in every fruit. Plus, they taste amazing too!
Feel Fuller Longer
Avocados are high in dietary fibre, meaning they help us feel fuller for longer. Add avocado to your lunch and you'll find it easier to resistence the tempation of mid-afternoon snacks.
Reduce Cravings
Avocados are one of the best sources of polyunsaturated oleic acid. This fatty acid is thought to help reduce cravings, stabilise blood sugars and is proven to be anti-inflammatory too.
Convinced? There are as many ways to enjoy avocado as there are reasons to love it! We love adding chopped avocado to scrambled egg on toast, sliced avocado to rice cakes spread butter, and making our own guacamole. All can be enjoyed guilt-free as part of a healthy, balanced diet - even if you're looking to lose weight.
