Avocado is the first of best fruits for weight loss. Many people view avocados as a fatty food juggernaut but all fat is not equal. More than two thirds of the calories in an avocado are monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are used by your body as a slow burning source of energy. Avocados are also high in Omega-9 fat which acts like a sponge, milking fat soluble vitamins from accompanying foods. Along with good, healthy fats, avocados also lend to a feeling of being full. When added to a diet, people often times end up eating less.

It also is high in fiber which promotes feeling full and 68 percent of the fiber in grapefruit is soluble. Soluble fiber delays the release of hormones that make you feel hungry, so you go longer without a need to eat.
