MICHAEL SMITH: Not all fruits
and veggies are created equal.
A new study has found the best
ones to eat if you want to lose
weight.
Here's the list-- apples, pears,
berries, citrus, tofu,
cauliflower, and peppers.
Yes, tofu counts as a vegetable.
That list may sound random,
but here's what all these foods
have in common.
They are high in fiber
and low in starch.
You may hear them called
low glycemic, which means
that they don't make your blood
sugar rise very much.
Fruits, especially berries,
were the best for weight loss.
What you want to avoid
are the low fiber,
high glycemic and starchy
vegetables like corn,
peas, and potatoes.
So if you're looking to produce
results,
start with your produce.

Smith.
