They do this in different ways. Different studies have also shown this to be true. Plums can promote weight loss by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_Low-Calorie_Foods\"><\/span><b>Being Low-Calorie Foods\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plums, as mentioned earlier, contain 30 calories per one fruit. These are not too many calories. For one to lose weight, they need to consume fewer calories than they burn. One way to consume fewer calories is by consuming low-calorie filling foods of which plums are, and this is due to their high fiber counts. This helps create a calorie deficit and hence promotes <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-jump-start-weight-loss\/\">weight loss<\/a>. It is important to know that even though plums promote weight loss by being a low-calorie food, your diet should not consist of plums alone, and you should work to add all the components of a balanced diet to your meals so that you do not end up with malnutrition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/denmark-diet\/\">Denmark Diet: Can Such A Low-Calorie Plan Do You Any Good?<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Contain_High_Fiber_Amounts\"><\/span><b> \u00a0 Contain High Fiber Amounts\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One plum is said to have approximately 1 gram of fiber. This is a lot of fiber per plum, and this helps in its weight loss properties. This is because fiber has a filling effect (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/plum-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). What this does is that it makes you feel fuller for longer and eat less during your next meal. This makes you create a calorie deficit, which translates to weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber helps aid digestion, prevent constipation, and lower blood sugars (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whfoods.com\/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&amp;dbid=35\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The soluble fiber in plums helps regulate the blood sugar by slowing the speed of digestion, hence making the food stay in the stomach longer, slowing the absorption of glucose from the food that was being digested. Since glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream at a slower pace, it means the blood sugar levels do not rise as quickly. This shows that plums can be used as part of a healthy diet to help control type 2 diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same soluble fibers slow down the speed of digestion and the rate at which food leaves the stomach, making one feel fuller, which also means that less food is absorbed, and this helps in weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Benefits_Of_Plums\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37931 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/7-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Science_Say_About_Benefits_Plums_For_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>What Does Science Say About Benefits Plums For Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different studies have been conducted to try and prove if it is true that plums do promote weight loss.

The study found that some components of this family of fruits could be used to fight metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is the danger factors that raise your risk of becoming obese, which can lead to serious health conditions. The phenolic compounds present in plums, peaches, and nectarines may have anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. These compounds may also be able to reduce the oxidation of harmful bad cholesterol (LDL), which is known to increase the risk of getting various heart diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_study_indicates_that_eating_plums_and_other_related_fruits_may_help_fight_obesity_and_other_chronic_diseases\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study indicates that eating plums and other related fruits may help fight obesity and other chronic diseases.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Benefits_Of_Plums\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37930 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"benefits of plums for weight loss\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/8-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The University of Liverpool did another study. The main aim of the study was to prove if eating prunes (dried plums) as part of a weight control diet would improve weight loss (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2014\/05\/140530124331.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/weight-loss\/a19909143\/surprising-weight-loss-food\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). For this study to be carried out, 100 overweight or obese low fiber consumers were divided into two groups. One group of people were to eat prunes every day while the other group was advised on healthy snacks throughout this weight loss study.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 8 weeks, which was the duration of the study, the study found that the group that was eating prunes experienced greater weight loss. This group of people was able to lose an average of 2 kilograms. To add to that, the individuals also experienced a reduction in the size of their waistline by about 2.5 centimeters. The people from the second group experienced an average weight loss of 1.5 kilograms and a 1.7-centimeter reduction of the waistline. Another notable observation that was made was that the prune group lost more weight during the last four weeks, and after week eight, they showed increased feelings of fullness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shows prunes can promote weight loss when added to a weight loss program. For people looking to lose weight, they may want to put prunes in their shopping lists. It is, however, important to make sure you do not add new foods to your diet without making sure you are not allergic to them or without talking to an expert first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Betterme will keep you laser-focused on your weight loss journey!
