Plantains are quite calorie and carb-dense, similar to potatoes. For weight loss, you need to manage your calorie intake. While they offer good nutrients and fiber, I wouldn't call them a 'weight loss food'. Portion control is key if you include them, and balance with lean protein and veggies.
No, not really. Plantain, especially ripe one, is starchy and high in calories. For my kids, we focus on balanced meals and limit such high-carb items if we're watching their weight. Better to stick to lighter vegetables and good protein.
Sweetheart, don't misunderstand 'healthy' with 'good for weight loss'. Plantains are nutritious but also quite high in carbohydrates and calories. If weight loss is your goal, you need to monitor portion sizes strictly and focus on foods that keep you full with fewer calories.
Amma always made us eat plantains for strength, but for losing weight, they are a bit heavy, beta. They have good energy but also many calories. It's better to eat lighter food if you want to become thin.
Plantains are starchy, simple as that. For weight loss, you need to cut down on excess carbs and calories. So, no, they are not 'good' for weight loss in that sense. Better to stick to green veggies.
Plantains contain good nutrients, but for weight loss, you must consider their calorie and carbohydrate content. It's best to consult a doctor or a registered dietitian who can give you a personalized diet plan for safe and effective weight loss.
Be very wary of any claims that a single food item is 'good for weight loss'. Plantains are starchy and, if ripe, can be sweet. They can be part of a healthy diet, but they won't, by themselves, cause weight loss. Always verify such info with a nutritionist.
I track all my food on my app, and plantains, especially ripe ones, can add up in calories and carbs quickly. While they have fiber, for effective weight loss, you'd need to portion them carefully and balance with lower-calorie foods. Not a magic bullet for sure.
My doctor explained that while plantains are a good source of fiber and vitamins, they are also quite high in starches, especially when raw, and become sweeter when ripe. For weight loss, it's crucial to manage carbohydrate intake, so they should be consumed sparingly and preferably unripe, as advised by a nutritionist.
For weight loss, it's more about overall calorie deficit and balanced nutrition. Plantains are nutritious but calorie-dense. You can fit them in, but moderation is key. Combine it with regular exercise like walking, which is universally good, if your doctor says it's okay.
Oh, I thought plantains were healthy. So, they don't help with weight loss? What about if they are unripe and cooked in a certain way, like stir-fried without much oil?

Just like with thyroid, diet for weight loss needs careful planning. Plantains are calorically dense and starchy. They won't magically make you lose weight. Focus on a balanced diet with proper protein, fiber, and consult a dietitian or your doctor for a plan.
Haan ji, plantain matlab kela, woh thoda heavy hota hai. Weight loss ke liye thoda control karna padta hai. Bahut zyada khaoge toh fayda nahi hoga. Thoda bahut chalega, par zyada nahi.
Oh, if only losing weight was as simple as eating one particular fruit! Plantains are good for health, but they are high in carbs. So if you're trying to lose weight, you have to be careful with portion sizes. My waistline and I have a complicated relationship with all carbs, haha.
If plantains were good for weight loss, I'd be a supermodel by now! Haha. They're tasty, but a bit on the heavy side for calorie counting. Better for energy than for shedding kilos, unless you eat like, one tiny chip.
