Hello, my dear readers!
Its wood is used to produce exquisite ebony (the same one that is very expensive, but sinks). And this is not all of its advantages. Some, with its help, treat anemia, others - dysentery, and some, with its support, expel worms.
But is it possible to eat persimmons while losing weight? and what will be the result? My article today is dedicated to this amazing yellow-orange fruit (actually, there are dozens of its shades, even black) and its participation in the process of weight loss.
700 and one type
This evergreen or tropical and subtropical tree (shrub) has about 700 species and has the scientific name Diospyros - it is widely believed that this is translated from ancient Greek as “divine fruit” or “food of the gods.”
It becomes such a food if it is fully ripe - we all know how tasty juicy persimmons are. If we are unlucky and a careless seller slips us an unripe fruit (or is it a berry?), then we have to be content with its astringent taste - it is given by the tannin it contains with its tannin properties (by the way, you can freeze it, and after defrosting the unpleasant taste will go away).
The most common types of it are called oriental or Chinese persimmon - basically, they are sold in our stores. This also includes the popular “Korolek”.
The “Sharon” variety is also known - it has no seeds and little tannin, which is good news. But the information that is alarming is that this is only a marketing name for the Israeli variety “Triumph”, which was subjected to chemical ripening - exposure to carbon monoxide and alcohol.
This video explains how to choose the right persimmon:
Natural pharmacy
Persimmons have many beneficial properties. Its usefulness is explained by the presence of a large number of vitamins, minerals, especially
potassium (310 mg per 100 g), calcium, magnesium, iron, 66 mg of vitamin C (about half of the human daily requirement).
And, despite the rather high sugar content (when ripe, one piece contains approximately 25% of the daily value), the fruit is well digestible because it does not increase the glycemic index (that is, does not affect blood glucose levels) and is also low in calories – 100 grams contain only 127 kcal.
Folk remedy
- Because of all this, the fruit is very popular in folk medicine. It is used to treat heart disease and anemia;
- used to prevent the formation of kidney stones;
- used as a diuretic;
- and also as a bactericidal agent in the fight against hay and E. coli;
- treat diseases of the digestive tract (but an unripe fruit can, on the contrary, cause an upset stomach).
Tasty, but not always healthy
A lot of sugar in the fruit is a risk factor for patients with diabetes and obesity
High tannin content can have a detrimental effect on the intestines. So those who have related diseases, as well as those who have undergone surgery on the abdominal organs, should not eat it.
Plant fibers, which it is rich in, entering the stomach, in extremely rare cases can form a lump, the so-called bezoar, and thereby cause obstruction in the intestines. However, only a few hundred such cases have been registered throughout the world over many years.
Here are some useful tips:
In addition to medicine, persimmons are eaten like an ordinary apple (its usefulness is estimated to be 2 times higher in comparison), baked in puddings and pies, dried, made into beer, and in Japan, sake is made from unripe fruits. And with its help they lose weight. And here we will dwell on this point in more detail.
Secrets of weight loss
Why are persimmons loved by those who are trying to lose weight?
- For its low energy value with a fairly high sugar content (mainly fructose).
- For its ability to cause a feeling of fullness due to its high fiber content.
- For the ability to enhance metabolism, due to which the body is cleansed of toxins and waste.
- For its bright yellow color and sweetness, which lift your spirits during the cold season (do not forget that the fruit is in season during this period)
- Well, because you can eat it in winter, when there are problems with many other fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables.
Recipes for losing weight
They eat it simply as a snack, for example, between breakfast and lunch or for an afternoon snack.
Minimum food
I also came across references to a mono-diet based on it.
Its duration is 7 days
It is suggested to eat 2 kg of yellow fruit per day.
Cottage cheese (low-fat, 100 grams) and a glass of kefir are added to the diet. In the evening.
Traditionally, the menu also includes water, green tea without sugar, you can add dried fruit compote, but also not sweet.
The famous singer Valeria is also believed to have used persimmons for weight loss in one of her diets.
For 7 days her diet was as follows:
Breakfast- oatmeal with water
Dinner– vegetable soup and steamed cutlet
Dinner– a glass of kefir and persimmon
Not a very balanced menu, in my opinion, and also such a diet very hard to bear.
Let's dilute the menu
So, if it’s difficult to lose weight like this, then you can arrange fasting days , or replace one of your meals with it. For example, like this:
Menu for the week:
Breakfast
- Boiled chicken breast – 125g
- Vegetable salad (for example, cabbage) – 250g
- 1 slice of diet bread
Dinner
- Vegetable soup
- Low fat yogurt
- 1 slice of diet bread
Dinner
- 1-2 pieces of persimmon
Between meals, you can snack on vegetables that are high in fiber and liquid: cabbage, celery, carrots.
Controversial issue
The use of yellow berries causes controversy on the Maggi diet (the principle of which is based on protein nutrition with a predominance of eggs).
Some classify it as a prohibited product, since it still contains quite a lot of carbohydrates (33.5 g per 100g).
Others believe that it can be eaten on fruit days, but those who are losing weight are still concerned about the high glucose content in it.
I also came across a mention of what is added to food persimmon vinegar – the authors of this method claim that fat is burned better this way. I haven’t found any confirmation of this information, maybe some of you have tried it on yourself? Share your experience in the comments.
How many kilograms will it take?
What result can be achieved with all these methods? Judging by the reviews, some lose a couple of kilograms, while others lose more than ten. It all depends on the chosen method of nutrition. I even came across this statement:
« All last winter I actively ate persimmons, combining them with giving up fatty and sweet foods. As a result, 34 kilograms were lost in three doses. I didn’t notice any side effects ».
Everything is good in moderation
So, should you lose weight or not with the help of this berry? Pay attention to the last example - the girl did not just eat persimmons, she followed some kind of diet (unfortunately, she did not indicate which one).
I think this is the most correct way - to balance your diet and add sweet berries that are useful in many respects. And if physical exercise is also on the daily to-do list, then the result, I believe, will not be long in coming. What do you think about this?
What to remember:
- Persimmon has many beneficial properties.
- Relatively low in calories.
- Causes a feeling of rapid saturation.
- Included in a variety of diets.
And that's all for me today. Don’t forget to tell us about your weight loss experience and see you again!
Persimmon is a healthy fruit with a specific taste. Adults and children love her. Today we will talk about how persimmon is used for weight loss, describe the features of weight loss and list the beneficial properties of the fruit.
The benefits and harms of persimmons for weight loss
Today, stores sell a lot of fruits - both ours and those brought from hot countries. Russians increasingly prefer persimmon. And apples, pears and oranges fade into the background. How is it useful? Let's figure it out together.
What are the benefits of persimmon for weight loss? Useful properties of persimmon for weight loss
The beneficial properties of this southern fruit are due to its rich composition.
- Persimmon contains trace elements necessary for the functioning of the thyroid gland.
- Doctors recommend leaning on it for people suffering
Anemia,
Varicose veins,
Diseases of the heart and vascular system.
- Persimmon is useful because it helps improve immunity.
What vitamins and minerals are in persimmons?
This healthy fruit contains such important components as:
- iron;
- vitamins of different groups: B1, B12, B3, C, P, A;
- antioxidants;
- magnesium;
- manganese;
- calcium;
- potassium.
The beneficial properties of persimmon concern not only health, but also beauty. By consuming this fruit in winter, you can maintain your skin in normal condition. She will have a healthy appearance and a light blush.
Contraindications for persimmon
It turns out that persimmons do not benefit everyone and can be harmful.
People suffering from diabetes or gastrointestinal disorders should avoid using it. Otherwise, their health will only worsen.
- Pregnant women can include this fruit in their diet. But they must adhere to the norm - 1-2 pieces per day.
Nursing mothers should also refrain from eating persimmons so as not to harm the baby.
- To avoid intestinal upset, you should eat only ripe fruits. They need to be rinsed thoroughly with tap water.
Calorie content of persimmon "korolek" - a fruit for weight loss
Often girls are interested in whether persimmons are high in calories for weight loss. And there is nothing to be surprised about. After all, this fruit is very sweet. In fact, its calorie content is not high.
100 g of product contains only 53 kcal.
When following a diet, you need to take into account not only calorie content, but also the amount of nutrients. For example, the same 100 grams contain 0.5 g of protein and 16.8 g of carbohydrates. There are no fats at all.
Glycemic index of persimmon
The most important indicator is the glycemic index. It characterizes the effect of a particular product (drink) on blood sugar levels. When consuming foods rich in carbohydrates, it increases.
If you eat fruits with a minimum amount of carbohydrates, your body will receive a boost of energy. Thanks to this, a person does not experience hunger for a long time.
Persimmon belongs to the middle group, which includes products with a glycemic index of 45-50. According to this indicator, it can be equated to bran.
There are two main types of persimmon – regular and “crown”. Each of them has features. The differences are not only in taste.
The calorie content of ordinary persimmon is 60 kcal, and the fruit of the “Korolek” variety is 53 kcal. For those losing weight, this is a noticeable difference.
Types of persimmon "king"
There are many different names for this fruit: “Chinese peach” and “orange sun”. Its benefits for the body are known to many. But not everyone can choose the right fruits.
Unripe fruits have a negative impact on your well-being. The benefits will only come from ripe fruits that have full flavor.
If you think that persimmon grows only in hot countries and is imported to us in Russia, then you are very mistaken. This fruit is found in the Krasnodar region. There it grows until the New Year, having time to ripen and acquire a viscous taste.
- The ripening of fruits of the “Korolek” varieties occurs in a timely manner. They are very sweet and juicy. There is no astringent taste.
- You can often find trees with fruits that are brownish in color. This is not a separate variety of persimmon, but a “chocolate” variety of the “Korolek” variety.
How to determine the ripeness of persimmons?
It is not at all difficult to distinguish ripe fruits from unripe ones. But a visual inspection will not be enough.
Persimmon: properties and the right choice - in the video
- Take the fruit in your hands and gently feel it. If the fruit has soft sides, then it is ripe, which means it is suitable for consumption.
- Pay attention not only to the pulp, but also to the stalk. If it is dry and dark in color, then everything is fine.
- The “chocolate” kinglet has a dark reddish tint. The peel is very thin. The brown flesh is visible underneath. The fruits of this variety are rarely large.
- There is another variety - “Shakhinya”. These are large, heart-shaped fruits. A viscous and tart taste indicates that the fruit is not yet ripe. You can distinguish a ripe “shakhina” from an unripe one by the condition of the skin. If it has dark and thin rings, then feel free to buy such a persimmon.
What to do if the persimmon is unripe?
If you purchased unripe fruits, then there is no need to be upset. At home, it is quite possible to bring fruits to full ripening. 
You just need to do the following:
- We put the fruits in the freezer. They must stay there for at least 12-15 hours. Then the fruit will become sweeter and softer.
- The same effect can be achieved by placing unripe persimmons in warm water (40 degrees). It is enough to hold it there for 10-15 minutes.
- Don't like the tart taste? To get rid of it, you need to put the fruits in any alcoholic drink (for example, in a glass of wine).
- Regular tomatoes and apples will be real saviors for unripe persimmons. We put them in one plastic bag. Leave for 2-3 days. During this time, the fruits should ripen.

Many doubt it. Despite the many beneficial properties of persimmon, many girls are still interested in this product due to its dietary properties.
Persimmon diet No. 1
Answering the question, Is it possible to eat persimmons while on a diet? Let’s consider one of the dietary options with persimmons. This diet can be followed for 5-6 days, during which you can lose about 4-5 kilograms.

In early October, large bright orange fruits appear in markets and stores. This is a persimmon loved by many. Its homeland is China, but now it is grown wherever there is enough warmth and light. About two hundred species of edible persimmon are known. They differ in fruit shape, size, color, and taste. But persimmon of any variety is very useful. It is used in cosmetology, cooking, and medicine. Recently, persimmon has been widely used for weight loss.
for good health
The Greeks call persimmon "food of the gods." And not only because it is extremely tasty, but also because it contains many microelements, each of which is important for the body. The orange color of persimmons comes from beta-carotene or provitamin A. It is an excellent antioxidant, helps with cardiovascular diseases, and reduces the risk of developing eye and cancer diseases. Persimmons also contain a lot of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iodine, calcium, and iron. Its ripe fruits contain proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, saturated and unsaturated acids, and sugars.
Persimmon is used in the treatment of the liver and stomach. It is used for scurvy and atherosclerosis. With its help, they expel worms, heal wounds and burns, treat dysentery and bronchitis. In dietetics, persimmon is used for weight loss. In cosmetology, it is part of masks and creams. Cooks make jam, wine, sweet desserts, and even moonshine from it. This miracle berry is also widely used in folk medicine, and healers use not only the fruits, but also the leaves.
for weight loss
Despite the fact that persimmon pulp contains a lot of sugar (25% of the daily value), its calorie content is very low. There are 62 kilocalories per 100 grams of pulp. An average persimmon weighs approximately 350 grams. It is easy to calculate that by eating one berry, a person receives only about 250 kcal. And the presence of fiber in the pulp creates a feeling of fullness. This is precisely the benefit of persimmon for weight loss.
Of course, there is no single kilocalorie norm that suits everyone without exception. This figure depends on the physical activity of each person, body weight, age and other indicators. But nutritionists have calculated that the human body hardly absorbs more than 550 kcal in the morning, more than 350 kcal in the afternoon and more than 200 kcal in the evening. Based on this, many diets have been developed that include persimmon for weight loss.
Strict diet
It consists of completely replacing food with persimmon. You need to consume up to 2 kilograms of it per day, eating 2 pieces for breakfast, lunch and 1-2 for dinner. With this diet, you need to drink at least 2 liters of water or herbal decoction per day. It is also allowed to consume low-fat kefir and up to 200 grams of rye crackers without spices. The duration of a strict diet should not exceed five days so as not to cause stomach diseases. This system makes it possible to lose 3-5 kilograms.
Unfortunately, following such a sweet and comforting diet can lead to adverse consequences. Why is persimmon dangerous, the beneficial properties of which for weight loss are beyond doubt? It turns out that this berry, especially the unripe one, contains a lot of tannin. Once in the stomach, it forms difficult-to-digest compounds that envelop its walls, and when entering the intestines, they cause obstruction. In this case, emergency surgery may be necessary.
Gentle diet
A good alternative to the hard system is the gentle one, which also uses persimmon for weight loss. The diet includes a variety of low-calorie foods. Persimmon is consumed once a day, completely replacing breakfast, lunch or dinner. Examples of some gentle diets:
1. Breakfast. 2 pieces of persimmon. Unsweetened tea or herbal decoction.
Dinner. 200 grams of boiled beef, vegetable salad without oil.
Dinner. A glass of kefir with a fat content of up to 1%, 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese.
2. Breakfast. Oatmeal without sugar. Unsweetened green tea.
Dinner. 2 pieces of persimmon.
Afternoon snack. 1 piece of persimmon.
Dinner. Boiled chicken leg without skin. A glass of kefir.
Z. Breakfast. Fried eggs. Vegetable salad without oil. Unsweetened tea.
Dinner. 200 grams of boiled beef, or boiled chicken leg, or lean soup.
Dinner. 2 pieces of persimmon. A glass of low-fat kefir.
The menu of gentle diets may change. The main thing is to maintain the principle of replacing one meal with persimmon.
Fasting days
In addition to diets, nutritionists recommend arranging fasting days, during which persimmons are also consumed for weight loss. The undoubted advantage of this approach is the gradual loss of extra pounds until a person’s weight reaches the required norm. For the body, this method is more gentle, without tension and stress. Over a long period of time, a person gets used to this rhythm of life and perceives it as the norm. should be done once a week. It is advisable to choose a specific day for this, for example Sunday. During the entire fasting day, you need to eat 5-6 persimmons. You can also drink low-fat kefir, unsweetened tea or herbal decoction.
The value of fasting days with persimmons is not only in weight loss, but also in enriching the body with vitamins, in the prevention of various diseases, in reducing fatigue, and in strengthening the immune system.
Even in ancient China, vinegar made from overripe persimmon fruits was highly valued. It has healing properties, improves digestion, perfectly cleanses the body, helps heal wounds and improves skin condition. This vinegar has a yellow-orange color and a pleasant sweetish taste. It is widely used for preparing various sauces and added to salads. should be mixed with water in a ratio of 1:10 or with milk and drunk daily. Persimmon vinegar helps burn fat even for those people who do not have much physical activity.
Are persimmons harmful?
“Orange sun”, “divine fire”, “heart apple tree” - persimmon is called differently. It is loved all over the world for its delicious taste. Persimmon has many wonderful qualities. The beneficial properties of this berry for weight loss are recognized by many experts and confirmed in practice. However, there is an opinion that the presence of a large amount of sugars in persimmons does not contribute to weight loss, but, on the contrary, to weight gain. There is also an opinion that it is contraindicated for people with diabetes. However, doctors say that persimmon sugar does not affect the glycemic index in the blood.
Those who definitely should not consume it in large quantities are people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases and those who have undergone surgery on the abdominal organs.
The reason for the limitation is the tannin contained in persimmons. There is especially a lot of it in unripe fruits. Tannin causes the berries to become astringent, impairing their taste. Its quantity can be easily reduced. To do this, you can place persimmons in the freezer. At low temperatures, tannin molecules are destroyed. You can also leave the persimmons in warm water for 12 hours or place them in a plastic bag with apples.
Which persimmon should you choose?
To ensure that persimmons are not tart and contain as little tannin as possible, they must be purchased ripe. This does not mean that the fruit must be large. For example, the varieties “John Rick” and “Meader” have berries that weigh only about 50 grams. Ripe persimmon fruits are soft to the touch and have thin dark stripes. Their skin is thin, almost transparent, and the tail is dry. In addition, there are varieties of persimmon that are not tart at any degree of ripeness. The Sharon variety, bred in Israel by crossing persimmons with apples, contains little tannin. Its astringency is almost not felt, and the berry itself is very tasty and aromatic. This variety is ideal for a persimmon-based diet and for fasting days.

People's reviews are indisputable proof of this. Diets based on persimmons are especially popular with those who find it difficult to deny themselves sweets. Despite the sweet taste of persimmon, it is low in calories, and the presence of a large amount of fiber in its pulp causes a feeling of fullness.
