Consumption of More Fruits and Vegetables Does Not Lead To Weight Loss

The researchers in University of Alabama, Birmingham, stated that eating more vegetables and fruits in a diet of the person has no effect on weight loss, as told by the recommenders who tell people looking forward to lose weight to have more of them in order to be in their dream shapes.
A research was conducted on 1,200 subjects wherein they were told to eat more vegetables and fruits n their daily diets in order to check whether it helps in losing weight for them or not.
Fruits and Vegetables
According to Kathryn Kaiser, the instructor of UAB School of Public Health, there was no effect on people looking forward to lose weight by the consumption of vegetables and fruits. In fact, there were zero results observed by the research team in this experiment.
She also added that eating more will not have a good approach towards losing weight as by adding them on top of other things preferred to be eaten by the people will not have any weight change in the individuals.
According to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in the month of June, while eating more of vegetables and fruits does not make a person lose weight, eating more of it does not make him gain weight either.
Kaiser included that there is no observation of an increased weight in a person with an added serving size of fruits. This states that fruits help in meeting the daily requirements of an individual’s body to have fiber and vitamins.
She also stated that instead of increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits, there is a need to reduce the intake of calories that can be done by the intake of proper food.
There has been a popular belief among people that in order to lose weight, it is essential for them to have vegetables and fruits in larger quantities, however, this belief has now been shattered.
