Some nutritionists recently reminded people that fruits generally contain little iron and calcium, and that long-term fruit-based "weight-loss diets" can easily lead to anemia.
The popular fruit diet method has been around for a while. It is common to see some women have an apple or orange for lunch, along with a drink, and consider that their main meal. Experts point out that this method is not beneficial to health. From a nutritional perspective, most fruits are rich in carbohydrates and water, contain small amounts of protein and fat, vitamins A and B, and minerals, as well as fiber, but they lack vitamin B12 and the amino acids they contain are not complete. A long-term fruit-only diet can easily lead to anemia, something that women in particular should pay attention to.
Experts believe that people need to rely on a variety of different foods to provide different nutrients in order to achieve a balanced diet. It is unscientific to eat only fruits or vegetables, or only meat. Weight loss requires patience; while some rapid weight-loss methods are appealing, most of their effects are not long-lasting. For those who want to lose weight, they can simply eat less meat, increase the proportion of vegetables in their diet, and eat low-fat grains and dairy products to slowly reduce their weight.
