Weight Loss and Other Benefits of Eating Papayas
Papayas enable weight loss because:
- Papaya contains papain, which is a digestive enzyme that helps the body process proteins, which in turn, helps the body be more efficient when it comes to shedding pounds, cellulite deposits and toxins
- The raw fruit has a diuretic effect that detoxifies the liver and kidneys and reduces bloating
- It is a very filling, but low calorie food with a mild non-acidic dessert-like taste that can satisfy a sweet tooth
- It is a good source of plant fiber that helps clear waste and toxins from the digestive system, thus aiding elimination
- The flesh is a natural carbohydrate blocker that slows down the delivery of sugar to the bloodstream and pancreas, which helps insulin-resistant individuals lose weight
- Papaya is also a potent source of chymopapain, which reduces inflammation-related diseases in the body that could prevent exercising such as rheumatism, arthritis and asthma
- It is an excellent source of vitamins that prevents high cholesterol and insulin resistance-related obesity, including Vitamin C, E and folic acid.
Method 1: On The Papaya Fruit Diet
You can lose one to two pounds a week if you follow this papaya diet. You can stay on this calorie-restricted diet without risking nutritional deficiencies for three months.
- 1The idea is that you will be eating one a day for breakfast and also making fresh juice with the flesh in your blender. A ripe papaya will still be firm to the touch with no springy feeling and it will be partly yellow or orange, green and red. The greener it is, the less ripe and sharper and tarter in flavor it will be.Buy eighteen or more fresh papayas, preferably organic at your local market.

The augmented water supplies B vitamins and swells the papaya fiber in your digestive system so that it becomes an effective carbohydrate blocker for the rest of water. If you are allergic to wheat, then you can substitute oatmeal flakes for the wheat germ.For breakfast every day consume a half of a papaya with the seeds plus an eight-ounce glass of Wheat Germ Water.
- 3To make the salad: start with whole-grain base, a root vegetable and wilted leafy greens and then top with a dash of vinegar. For the salad base use a half of cup of any of the following: soaked chia seeds, bulgur, black rice, red rice, wild rice, millet or quinoa. For the vegetable use any of the following roasted with olive oil and cut up into chunks: sweet potatoes, beets, parsnips, rutabaga, parsnips, eggplants or carrots. For the greens use spinach, kale, Swiss chard or dandelion greens. You can use any vinegar but rice wine or red wine vinegar along with salt and pepper is particularly delicious on this type of salad.For lunch every day eat a warm root and grain salad along washed down with a six-ounce glass of fresh papaya juice.
- 4Recommended proteins include chicken, fish, lamb, steak and shellfish. The salad can be made of any vegetables and any leafy greens. You can add papayas to the salad or use papaya puree or papaya dressing or drink another six-ounce glass of papaya juice after dinner.For dinner eat four ounces of a recommended protein with a salad.
- 5If you are a vegetarian you can have mushroom or vegetable broth, instead of bone broth, but bone broth has the minerals, B vitamins and full amino acid profile needed to balance this diet nutritionally.For a snack or extra meal have a cup of bone broth and papaya slices.
