Because I have mild fatty liver disease, my doctor recommended weight loss, so I have been running to lose weight. I also need to pay attention to my diet, as many fruits seem unsuitable to eat. Therefore, what fruits should be avoided when trying to lose weight?

The following are some fruits that should be avoided or consumed in moderation during weight loss:

1. High-sugar fruits: such as grapes, lychee, longan, sugarcane, mangoes, and pineapples. These fruits contain relatively high levels of sugar and fat compared to other fruits and should not be consumed in large quantities.

2. High-calorie fruits: such as durian, avocados, and coconuts. Durian not only contains high sugar levels but is also very calorie-dense; avocados and coconuts are rich in fat and protein, and they also have relatively high calorie content. Excessive consumption of these high-calorie fruits can increase total calorie intake and negatively impact weight loss efforts.

3. Other fruits: daily fruit intake can be controlled around 150-200 grams. It is recommended to prioritize low-sugar, high-fiber fruits such as apples, pears, strawberries, and blueberries. These fruits can provide essential nutrients without significantly increasing calorie intake.

Weight loss is a process that requires scientific planning and personal dedication. A healthy and effective ideal weight status can be achieved through appropriate dietary combinations and consistent physical exercise.
