It is small, easy to find at the moment and formidable against the pounds. A doctor assures him: by adding it to his meals, you can lose weight faster, without upsetting your daily life. A handle is enough.
It is often believed that to lose weight, you have to remove the sugar, run every morning, say goodbye to pasta and watch your watch at dinner time. But Doctor William Li, doctor and researcher, goes against received ideas. He speaks of a “metabolic superinary”, to be integrated into his plate, allowing to speed up weight loss up to 20 %. A fruit that is currently found in tray at the supermarket.
Doctor Li relies on a study conducted in Türkiye with 54 overweight adults. All were invited to reduce their calorie intake and do a little more physical activity. Until then, nothing revolutionary. The difference is that half of the participants added a small portion of this fruit every day. The result? Weight loss faster and more important than in those who have not consumed it. On average, the participants of the “Fruit” group lost around 3.5 kg in 12 weeks – 21 % more than the other group. They have not changed anything else to their routine, if not this simple habit: consuming a quarter of a day, a small handful, of this fruit which is the blueberry. “A little habit, great results”, Summarizes the doctor in a Tiktok video.
But that’s not all. People who ate blueberries also saw their body fat decrease by around 5 %, especially thanks to the richness of the fruit in polyphenols. These antioxidant compounds play a key role in activating metabolism and fat combustion. It is also for this reason that it recommends the biological version, more concentrated in nutrients.
Sold around 3.50 euros per organic tray in supermarkets, this should motivate you to twist your salads, yogurts and smoothies of this sweet gluttony. A real boost to your slimming goals.
