This can make it harder to lose weight, and for some people, it may lead to weight gain over time.
A practical serving size is usually around one-third to one-half of an avocado, depending on your needs and the size of the fruit.
4. Avocados Can Affect Digestion
Avocados contain fiber, which is good for digestion. But if your body is not used to high-fiber foods, eating too much avocado may cause discomfort.
Some people may experience:
Bloating
Gas
Stomach heaviness
Changes in bowel movements
This does not mean avocado is bad. It simply means your body may need smaller portions.
If avocado bothers your stomach, try eating less at one time and make sure you drink enough water throughout the day.
