Does anjeer help in weight loss? - #10432
I’ve recently decided to focus on losing weight through natural methods, and someone suggested including anjeer (figs) in my diet. This got me curious because I’ve always thought of anjeer as a calorie-dense dry fruit that’s more likely to cause weight gain than loss. Now I’m wondering if there’s some truth to the claim that anjeer helps in weight loss or if it’s just another diet myth. From what I’ve read, anjeer is supposed to be rich in fiber, which helps keep you full for longer and improves digestion. But is that enough to actually support weight loss in a noticeable way? If it does help, how many anjeer should I eat per day to see results? Should I eat them as a snack, mix them into meals, or maybe soak them overnight for better digestion? Another thing I’m unsure about is timing. Does it make a difference if I eat anjeer in the morning, before meals, or at night? I want to make sure I’m using them correctly if they really are helpful. I’m also a bit concerned about their sugar content. Anjeer is naturally sweet, so does eating too much of it increase the risk of consuming excess sugar? Could it potentially backfire and lead to weight gain instead of weight loss? I’ve had this issue with other so-called healthy snacks before, so I’m trying to avoid making the same mistake again. Lastly, I’ve been trying to balance my diet with foods that aid in weight loss and overall health. If anyone has experience incorporating anjeer into a weight-loss plan, I’d love to hear how you did it. Did you combine it with other foods or pair it with a specific exercise routine? How long did it take for you to see any changes, and were there any side effects? If anjeer really does help with weight loss, I’d also appreciate tips on where to get good-quality figs and how to store them properly. Any advice or suggestions would be super helpful as I try to figure this out!
