Get Slim for the Holidays with Florida Oranges

The holidays are coming, and Florida oranges can help you get in shape just in time for all those holiday parties. It’s common for people to overindulge and put on a few pounds over the holidays but if you lose a little weight now you can balance out that additional weight gain and not have to diet after the holidays. Eating Florida oranges is the easy way to lose weight before you have to put on those holiday clothes and attend parties at the homes of your friends and family. There are several different ways that oranges can help contribute to weight loss.

One of the biggest ways that oranges can help you lose weight is by replacing sugary sweets. Some people simply can’t give up their sweets because they crave that sweet taste. Eat an orange instead of chocolate, ice cream or candy bars to get your sweet fix and you can eliminate hundreds of calories from your daily diet. If you replace just one candy bar per day with an orange you are shaving off 300 calories or more from your daily diet. A week of replacing all your daily sweet treat with a naturally sweet and naturally low calorie orange adds up to an entire pound, or more, that you can lose without exercising and without changing anything else in your diet. It’s true. You can drop up to a pound a week just by eating an orange instead of a high calorie candy bar. The vitamins and minerals in oranges will also help your body operate as efficiently as possible, which will help your body use calories more efficiently.

Florida oranges and grapefruits are also full of fiber, which can help you lose weight. Weight loss experts often tell people trying to lose weight that fiber is essential to losing weight. Fiber will make you feel full and you will want to snack less. You will also eat less at a meal if you already feel full. Eat an orange a half hour before you eat a meal and you will eat up to one half less because you will already feel full. Not snacking combined with eating less at meals and replacing high calorie sweets with sweet low calorie oranges and citrus fruits will help you lose weight now so that you can eat all your favorite holiday treats in the coming months. You might even find that you don’t eat as much over the holidays if you get yourself on a healthy eating plan now.
