Italian celebrity Vieri said that eating pineapple does not "burn fat" as advertised.

Pineapple is considered a fruit that can burn fat and help lose weight, but Vieri joked: "Everyone says that eating pineapple can burn fat. Obviously it works for everyone except me. I have been eating pineapple for 35 years, but I have not lost any fat."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that pineapple has high nutritional value, containing about 57 calories per 100 grams, 80% water, and is rich in fiber, which helps to create a feeling of satiety. But one thing’s for sure, pineapples don’t work like magic to burn fat. There is no such thing as "fat-burning" foods. There are foods that stimulate metabolism, but these are very limited. No food alone can burn body fat, and weight loss must be achieved through a balanced diet.

Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can break down protein in food. However, in the past many years, people mistakenly believed that this enzyme can also break down fat, so there is a myth that pineapple can lose weight. In fact, bromelain can only work in the digestive tract, without affecting the fat accumulated in the human body, and it has no ability to burn and break down fat. In addition, bromelain is mainly concentrated in the hard core part of the pineapple, which is usually discarded when eating.
