Delicious Honeybell Oranges Can Help You Lose Weight

After the holidays almost everyone wants to drop those holiday pounds and start getting ready for spring and summer. Honeybell oranges are the perfect food to help you get over those holiday cravings and lose those holiday pounds. Honeybell oranges are only in season for a few short weeks just after Christmas through January so they are the ideal transition food. Honeybell oranges are famously sweet, so when you’re craving sweets after eating cookies, cake, and other holiday treats you can eat Honeybell oranges as a healthy alternative. High calorie holiday treats are addictive because they contain a lot of refined sugar, which your body can’t break down very well. After awhile your body starts to crave the sugar because it causes spikes in your blood sugar which can make you feel euphoric. If you are going to break your sugar addiction and get back on a healthy diet you will need to stop eating refined sugar.

Eating Honeybell oranges, which are very sweet but contain only natural sucrose which your body can easily break down, are the answer to the dilemma of what to eat when you’re craving something sweet but you want to eat healthy. Honeybell oranges, like most other citrus fruits, are low in calories. A Honeybell has about 50 calories, which is about a third of the calories in a cookie or candy bar. You can eat two or three Honeybell oranges during the course of the day and not rack up the calories even though you will be satisfying those cravings for something sweet. That will help you lose weight even if you don’t change anything else in your diet.

Honeybell oranges, like grapefruits, are full of fiber as well. Eating more fiber will make you feel full, so you will eat less. Just one Honeybell as a snack can keep you full until your next meal so you won’t go looking for chips or cookies or other snacks. Eating Honeybell oranges for dessert at night will keep you full until the next morning so that you won’t go searching for a midnight snack. Eating after 10 pm can really make you gain weight, so have a Honeybell or two before bedtime to stay full until breakfast. Honeybell oranges are a little more expensive than grapefruits or other citrus fruits but once you taste one you’ll understand why. Try Honeybell oranges to help you lose weight after the holidays this year.
