Of course this attracts the attention of netizens, especially those who are struggling to lose weight.
As Stylecraze, pineapple diet aka the pineapple diet was introduced by the Danish psychologist, Sten Hegler in the 1970s. But the rules of the game at that time, people should only eat pineapple within two days to lose 1-2 kilograms of weight.

Why can pineapple help you lose weight?

4. Low in calories, you get a lot of nutrients without worrying about being high in calories.
5. Rich in vitamin B1, one of the nutrients for energy production. An active body, metabolism continues to work and less toxins.
6. Increases lipolysis, research found that mice on a high-fat diet showed increased lipolysis (fat breakdown) and decreased lipogenesis (fat synthesis) when given pineapple.
Is the pineapple diet healthy?
You may lose weight if you only eat pineapple for 3 days. However, the weight achieved may not last long.
According to Harvard Health, women should not consume less than 1,200 calories per day, while men should eat at least 1,500 calories per day. Less than this, you could say a strict diet is not healthy for weight loss.
Pineapple calorie total is about 453 calories per fruit, so you should at least eat some pineapple to meet your calorie needs. While other types of pineapple diet still allow people to eat other foods up to 500 calories. The other version doesn’t seem healthier either, ie from 7 days, you only eat pineapple 2 days and the other 5 days are free.
This diet is not for the long term. If you want to go on a pineapple diet, you should consult your doctor first.
