Hey everyone,
Here's a situation I'd like to address. Some people when trying to lose weight, automatically think that the solution is to start eating healthier foods. While eating healthy food is definitely a great choice, there are still other things to take into consideration when trying to lose weight. Weight gain or weight loss is determined by your caloric intake. The amount of calories you eat affects your weight, not the type of food. The thing is that most healthy foods contain less calories than desserts (see picture below)
So, yes it would be easier to eat less calories if you are eating foods like watermelons.
However, there are healthy foods that are actually high in calories in small amounts and you need to watch out for them if you are on a diet. (see picture below)
Just this handful of peanuts is 255 calories. Eating enough of those may cause you to gain some weight, even if you are actually eating healthy. It is always important to have a planned diet and know what you're getting into before you start.
