HLI Personal Training - From the Kitchen


The Benefits of Avocados



Avocados could arguably be one of the best fruits for those interested in losing fat. Why? I'll tell you.

For starters, it contains two very important ingredients for people trying to lose fat; 1. fiber and 2. healthy fats.

Per 100g, avocados contain 7 grams of dietary fiber and 12 grams of mono and poly unsaturated fats.

So what does this mean for you? Pay attention, it gets better.

Fiber controls blood sugar levels, lowers blood cholesterol levels and helps in weight loss by making you feel more full for longer periods of time.

Mono and Polyunsaturated fats help increase insulin sensitvity, aid in the prevention of muscle breakdown and lowers your LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.

On top of all these fantastic benefits, it tastes great too. I know because I eat them all the time.
