Summer Diets
Slim down by enjoying the low calorie fruits of summer.
|
- Tomatoes and peppers contain Vitamin A, C, and Lycopene and are also low in carbohydrates.
- Peppers also contain antioxidants which help boost the immune system and prevent damage to your body's cells.
- Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are rich in Vitamin C and fiber. Berries also prevent urinary tract infections.
- Berries combined with yogurt make for a low calorie snack and can help you slim down because of the protein/carbohydrate combination it offers. Beans are a good weight loss choice also because they help you feel full longer, while curbing your appetite for foods high in fat.
- Last but not least is water. The most important "food" of any diet is water. Water-containing foods such as fruits and vegetables are encouraged for weight control because the water content increases the volume of the food and lowers the amount of calories.
