Researchers found that conclusion after conducting a systematic review and analysis of data on more than 1,200 subjects randomized to determine the effects of increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
"All the studies that we have examined show an effect close to zero on weight loss," says study leader Kathryn Kaiser, Ph.D., instructor in the School of Public Health, University of Alabama as reported by the New York Daily.
"So I do not think eating alone is an effective approach to weight loss due to add on any food that may be eaten one does not seem to cause changes in body weight," he added.
According to MyPlate initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, recommendation consumption of fruits and vegetables daily for adults 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit and 2-3 cups of vegetables though dieters are often advised "meet" with the food intake of vegetables and fruit with low-calorie foods assumptions will be filling.
"In the overall context of a healthy diet, energy reduction is a way to help you lose weight, so to lose weight you have to reduce your calorie intake," Kaiser said about the results of his study were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
He said this during the assumed high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables will replace less healthy foods, and that the mechanism for weight loss.
"But our findings from the best available evidence indicates that the effect does not seem to exist in people who simply instructed to raise the intake of fruits and vegetables," he added.
However, fruits and vegetables provide many vitamins and fiber, so even if you can not lose weight even though both are good for your health and does not cause problems when consumed, except in extreme amounts.
