    Hi All,
    Has anyone heard about that?
    Today I have seen ads for diet pills whose special ingredient is said to be bromelain from pineapples in an magazine.
    I have googled it found some results. Eating pineapple will helpful to lose weight. Has anyone felt any weight loss because of pineapple?
    Can someone shed light on this?

    I have also heard about it and have started to gorge on pineapples for a month and am keeping my fingers crossed!

    My guess is that may be it has a lot of fibre and hence takes a lot more calories to digest than what is provided by the fruit itself. But it doesn't mean you can overeat pineapples without any other proper diet / exercise and expect to lose weight.

    It will be a good trick to include pineapples with proper eating and exercise habits.

    I also saw that news. Even having guava and Apple will also helps to reduce weight. All these three fruits helps for digestion. But as aswini said without proper exercise we cannot expect any changes.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies. You are correct. Now I eat an orange and an apple daily. Want to add pineapple in my diet. But could not get it daily here :cry:

    I love pineapple. I usually have some pineapple about once a week. It's a great snack when you are hungry and trying to lose weight. I would think that any fruits or vegetables are good for losing weight as long as you eat them in moderation and they are replacing fattier foods like potato chips and processed foods.
