4 Ways to Include Mangoes in Your Weight Loss Diet
Control your portions: Mangoes are full of micronutrients & fibre, you can safely eat them even on a diet, provided you eat them in small portions and dzn’t go bingeing on them. Nothing is good when you do it in excess. Consuming mangoes in excess or just limiting your diet to mangoes will not have any positive effects.
Don’t eat with or after a meal: Many Indians eat mangoes in the form of aam ras or just slices with lunch or dinner. Eating with a meal can make you consume more calories.
Eat it as a snack: Indulge in a cup of mango as a healthy snack. Mangoes are a great snack as they are rich in dietary fibre. Mango can also serve as an energy booster. Thus, making it a great pre-workout food. It can also be had as a yogurt parfait or smoothie for breakfast.
Eat in whole form: Juicing mangoes removes the fibre, making it less satiating or filling. Eat your mangoes to make use of it as a filling snack.
