Is African Mango a Miracle Fruit to Lose Weight?

Article written by Cellan Diet Pills. African mango contains dietary fiber that helps users to lose weight and bring other benefits too. Along with other natural ingredients such as green tea Cellan Diet is intended to enhance your weight loss efforts.

Many consider African mango as a super fruit when it comes to losing weight. Here’s why. The biggest reason is its fiber content. Researchers find that its soluble fiber helps to slow digestion and absorption of dietary sugar. Its fiber also helps to bind bile acids in the intestinal tract, an added benefit to lower bad cholesterol. The important factor here is it does not interfere with other cholesterol reducing prescription medications.

Medical professionals are advising people to use fiber rich plant based food to lower body weight and bring other healthier benefits. Getting soluble fiber from natural products avoid many negative impacts associated with supplements made of chemicals. Supplements help to augment goals such as weight loss when your diet alone fails to do so. If you can get other benefits while meeting your main objective, it is added bonus. This is why Cellan contains African mango, 100 percent green tea extract, vitamins and an exclusive berry blend.

Calories in an Apple

See the table below for the calories in an Apple and other nutritional information such as the fat, protein and carbohydrate content. The values are for a serving size of 100g. This is the best way of judging the calories for an Apple when sizes can vary so dramatically from country to country. All you need to do is weigh it and you have an immediate comparison.

These values are averages and should be used as estimates. In addition, remember that these values can and will go up based on whatever method of preperation. When counting calories always underestimate the calories and overestimate the potion sizes. I take the total calories per meal and round it up. For example: My last meal clocked in at 343 calories. I round it up and count the meal as 400 Calories. Why? Unlesss you weigh each individual item, chances are you will underestimate the potion size.

When it comes to Apple nutrition, the good news is that Apples are very low in Cholesterol, Sodium and Saturated Fat. It is also a good source of Vitamin C and Dietary Fiber. The bad news on the other hand is that most of the calories in an Apple come from sugar. See these posts for Carbs in an Apple, Protein in an Apple and Fat in an Apple.
