Does eating red pomelo cause weight gain?
I am currently trying to lose weight. May I ask if eating pomelo will cause weight gain?
Doctor's answer (1)
The calorie content of red pomelo is not high, with approximately 40 calories per 100 grams, and it also has a low fat content. Therefore, from the perspective of calorie intake, moderate consumption of red pomelo will not lead to weight gain.
From a nutritional standpoint, red pomelo is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote gastrointestinal motility. Eating red pomelo in moderation will not only not cause weight gain, but its high fiber content can enhance satiety and reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods, thus aiding in weight management. At the same time, red pomelo is a low-calorie, high-fiber fruit containing abundant vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, offering numerous health benefits.
Therefore, moderate consumption of red pomelo will not lead to weight gain. However, one should still follow the principle of moderation when consuming it. Patients with specific health conditions, such as diabetes, should plan their diet properly under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.
