🥑 Avocado is often marketed as a “diet” or weight-loss food.
In reality, avocado is a dense energy food, and that’s exactly why it works so well for some people and not for others.
Avocado is rich in healthy fats, not carbs or protein.
What this means:
Slower digestion
Longer-lasting fullness
Steady energy without sugar spikes
This makes avocado useful when meals need staying power.
✔️ Morning
✔️ Midday
Avocado works best when:
Eaten with light meals
Paired with vegetables or grains
Eating it late at night can feel heavy because fats digest slowly.
Better ways:
Small portions
Mashed or sliced
Combined with warm foods
Less ideal:
Large quantities
Cold smoothies at night
Eating it alone in excess
Avocado supports balance, not extremes.
Limit or avoid if you:
Have very slow digestion
Feel heavy after fatty foods
Are trying to reduce calorie intake
Avocado is healthy, but it’s not light.
Avocado is fuel, not filler.
Treat it like a source of steady energy, not a free food.
A little avocado goes a long way.
