Therefore, especially as a substitute for calorie-free candy, raisins are a good choice. In order to lose weight, you really should avoid any sugar (including fruit), because it will cause the insulin level to soar and make your body store fat. Although raisins are high in fiber content, they also contain natural sugar, and in terms of volume, they are also high in calories. But these fibers can really fill the stomach. And they are healthier than processed sugar. What I want to say is that they may not be good for losing weight, but if you use them instead of candy, they may help. No food will cause weight loss or gain, but the total calories of the food you eat determine your weight gain or loss.
Weight increase and decrease is controlled by the principle of calorie intake and calorie consumption (CICO).
In order to lose weight, you should consume less calories than your body needs, that is, you should consume less calories than your total energy consumption (TDEE) in a day.
You can use an online calculator to calculate your TDEE. Starting with TDEE is not enough. Before changing the diet plan, track the changes of body weight and measurements for at least 10- 14 days. Generally speaking, dried fruits are not conducive to losing weight. The sugar in this fruit is concentrated in a smaller space, which makes us eat much more than fresh fruit.
Think about it. Compare how many raisins you eat at a time with how many fresh grapes you will eat, and you will find the problem. Raisins are rich in natural sugar, which can stop your craving for sweets without adding extra calories. But eat in moderation and don't overeat. They help to control your blood sugar level and suppress your appetite, all of which help you achieve your weight loss goal.
