Honeybells Can Help You Lose Weight

Eating delicious and sweet Honeybell oranges can actually help you lose weight. It might seem too good to be true that you can eat more than one tasty Honeybell orange everyday and still lose weight but you can. Honeybell oranges only have around 80 calories apiece, which makes them a fantastic alternative to candy bars, energy bars, chips and other sugar and fat heavy snacks. With only 80 calories apiece these tasty oranges will fill you up and give you a natural energy rush that will help you keep going all day.

Citrus fruits like grapefruits, oranges, and of course Honeybells are what dieticians call calorie dense foods. That means that there is so much nutrition packed into these little fruits that the amount of nutrients you get for every calorie you consume cancel each other out. Your body can use every bit of the fruit so there no calories left unused to be turned into stored fat. Your body actually uses stored energy to break down the fruit so you are actively burning calories while you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to repair tissue, boost your immune system, and keep your brain and other vital organs working properly. Additionally, the fiber in the flesh of the fruit will help you stay full and not feel hungry until your next meal.

Sweet Honeybell oranges are the perfect replacement for holiday snacks. Once the holidays are over your body can crave the heavy carbs, overly sweet refined sugars and high fat foods you’ve been eating throughout the holiday season. That is why most people go off their diets so quickly after they start them in the new year. But eating Honeybell oranges instead of leftover holiday cookies and sweets will give your body that sweet taste you’re craving without the calories, sugar, and fat that make those holiday treats foods that only get eaten once a year.

You can indulge during the holidays, but when the holidays are over and you want to lose those extra pounds stock up on oranges and other citrus fruits to help you go back to your normal healthy diet and lose those holiday pounds. Just make sure that you order your Honeybell oranges early. Honeybells are only in season from late December to early February, and because they have such a limited growing season people order them as much as a year in advance. Order early to make sure you can get some before they sell out.
