Persimmon for weight loss: can you eat it at night, how many calories?

General rules

The persimmon diet is an exotic and sweet way to lose up to 5 kg of weight in just 1 week. To do this, you just need to replace breakfast or dinner with 2 persimmon fruits, which will not only please those with a sweet tooth and give a long-lasting feeling of fullness thanks to fructose and pectin fiber , but will also saturate the body with B vitamins , vitamin A , C , and minerals such as iron and calcium , magnesium, potassium.
Persimmon is good for people with nervous disorders, cardiovascular and kidney diseases. It is recommended to carry out a persimmon diet no more than 2 times a year, and in our region, persimmons, unfortunately, are a rare guest on the shelves - they are ripe and juicy only in the autumn-winter period. It is very important to take ripe and sweet fruits, because raw fruits contain a lot of tannins, and a large amount of such fruits in the diet puts a strong strain on the gastrointestinal tract, and people with digestive system problems may even experience constipation and obstruction . Therefore, “Korolek” is considered an ideal option - soft and juicy.

Despite the effectiveness and simplicity of the diet, its disadvantage is that in a week you can cleanse and heal your body, and start the process of losing weight by reducing your calorie intake per day. In order to get rid of fat deposits, it is still better to choose a longer program and combine it with physical activity.

Persimmon varieties

There are about 500 varieties of persimmons in the world, but only 200 of them are edible.

The most common varieties in our country are “Korolek” and “Sharon”

General issues

For those who don't get enough sleep: what foods will give you energy and good mood

“Korolek” is characterized by the shortest ripening period, as well as the amazing feature of producing two varieties of this fruit. If the flower has not been dusted, the fruit has a rich, bright orange color and an astringent taste. The pollinated flower produces the so-called “chocolate crown”. These are dark orange fruits with very juicy and sweet pulp.

"Sharon" is a variety bred in Israel by crossing ordinary persimmon and apple. Thanks to this, “Sharon” has almost no seeds and has a milder taste, because it contains very little tannin (the substance that gives the characteristic astringent taste).

But there are also more exotic varieties in the world, such as “chocolate pudding” (the ripe fruits of this variety taste like chocolate) and “velvet apple” (bright red and with a very delicate taste)
