^^ ok I will reveal it

It is PAPAYA!

Thumbs up for those who guessed right, you are awesome. Let me explain the health benefit of papaya for weight loss.
I live in a tropical climates so papaya is abundance here. My grandmother used to have the tree in front of her house but it was gone now.

Knowing Papaya, not many of my friends like the taste. I found that the taste is not bad but there are other fruits that tasted better. So papaya will be my last resort fruit.

In my surrounding, papaya is often used as a remedy for constipation. I remember my mother used to force me to eat papaya everyday so i my bowel movement would be easy.

Papaya will do this 2 things for you:

1) Detoxifies the body - cleansing your body to get rid of bloated stomach

2) Burns fat- When your digestive system starts functioning better, the body's metabolic rate increases and helps to burn the fat. It is also low in calorie where it contains 43 calories in 100 grams of papaya.

How to consume Papaya?

The answer is RAW. I love it raw it is delicious. just need to slice it into small cubes. You can also have a papaya smoothie yum!.
