Fruit and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. However, we must bear in mind that if we consume them in excess, they add fat to the body. That's why specialists recommend that those who want to go on a slimming diet should eat fruit and vegetables in moderation, as they make us fat.

Avocados contain Omega 9, the fats found in olive oil and macadamia nuts. Eating avocados speeds up the conversion of fat into energy, thus increasing your metabolism.

Another recommended food is coconut. It has a high triglyceride content. Eating coconut increases the liver metabolism rate by up to 30%. Coconut oil is also frequently used in the treatment of thyroid gland disorders.

Lemon can be included in the options because it acts on the body as a liver detoxifier and by maintaining liver health. As we know, a healthy liver is essential in the digestion process and fat burning.

Also, following numerous studies, specialists have found that grapefruit is one of the most suitable fruits for slimming. It has been observed that women who eat grapefruit daily can lose weight without changing anything else in their diet because this fruit contains the fewest calories.

Tomatoes are considered to be one of the most powerful antioxidants due to their lycopene content which acts as a body purifier.

Tomatoes are also prized for being able to prevent the development of cancer, according to studies.

Broccoli is also on the list of best fat-burning vegetables. It's high in fibre, so it's a great ally for digestion and figure.

Another option is eating apples. They improve digestion thanks to their high fibre content, thus promoting the elimination of toxins from the body. Plus, they're an ideal snack for when you want to curb your sweet tooth.

Fatty fish like salmon are incredibly nutritious and very satisfying. Salmon is loaded with high quality protein, healthy fats, and various important nutrients. That combination keeps you satiated and can help you reach a healthier weight.
