Why I don't eat avocado

Instagram influencer propaganda doesn't work on me.

Avocado is a green vegetable. It’s actually a fruit from a botanical standpoint.

Avocado is a star on Instagram and a feature with many nutritionists and influencers.

Let’s see what the fuss is all about with this miracle fruit...

✅ LOW CARB

If a food is green, then most likely it has a low carbohydrate content.

Indeed, a whole avocado (136g) amounts to just 2.5 digestible carbohydrates.

It’s the superstar of keto diets.

You know, those diets where you weigh your food, count calories, macronutrients eat very little protein and a lot of fat.

The type of diets where you lose a little bit of weight then plateau. From where you will only emerge with a few extra kilograms.

✅ IT HAS FIBER

We have great news for fiber lovers!

A whole avocado (136g) contains 9g of fiber. But also 220 calories.

By comparison, if you’ll eat 220 calories from cabbage, you’ll get 7x more volume, 2x more vitamins, minerals, but also 20 grams of fiber!

I don’t know about you, but I love to eat.

After eating an avocado, I don’t really feel like I ate something. But 1 kg of cabbage will last me for 3 days.

How can I eat a small avocado when I can spend the same calorie “budget” and eat 1 kg of spinach (cooked, of course)? I’d have to be insane.

Are you familiar with the concept according to which “anyone can do it if they have a lot of money”?

The same goes for nutrition. Anyone can have a super delicious and nutritious diet with a lot of calories.

Avocado on toast with seeds and “healthy” goat cheese within 1000 calories? No, thanks.

If you don’t have access to quality information, you’ll of course fall prey to the charms of influencer girls on Instagram who go hungry all day.

Probably, those girls don’t even eat what they post about. Or maybe their only meal of the day is comprised of those 2 bread slices with Peruvian avocado, Tibetan seeds and bio goat cheese from the Alps.

Most likely, the main reason for which you got fat and you can’t lose weight is because you eat a lot of cheese: CLICK.

Bread, avocado, fatty cheese, seeds – all these are hypercaloric foods.

Mind you: I didn’t say they’re not healthy. I just said they have a lot of calories.

✅ PROTEIN AND FATS

A whole avocado only comes with 2.7g of protein, but with 21g of oil in the same time. Meaning a tablespoon and a half.
