Eat all you want and don't gain a pound: Low Calorie foods that do the work for you

It seems like the last ten years everyone has tried all kinds of diets that result in rapid weight loss and then rapid weight gain. People now a days will advertise anything that they think will make people lose weight and consumers believe them. It kills me when people eat fast food on a daily basis and complain to the restaurant about how their food is making them and their families fat. I'm starting to wonder if people have forgotten about the fat free foods that God placed here for us. Just in case you have here is a list of vegetables and fruit that can have a serious effect on weight loss. You can eat all you want to and receive little calories while helping your body at the same time.

Apricots: Apricots are loaded with beta carotene which helps fight cancer and heart disease. Apricots are loaded with vitamins A, C and E. eating this food can lower your risk of macular degeration, which is the cause for age related vision loss.

Tomatoes: This vegetable can protect you against prostate cancer and eliminate free radicals that build up from exposure to u. v. rays.

Summer Squash: The one vegetable guaranteed to make you full. This vegetable has half the calories of its brother, winter squash.

Cucumbers: Loaded with vitamins A and K it also has a beneficial amount of potassium. There is also a nutrient called Sillica which helps to rebuild and maintain any connection tissue (muscles, ligaments and tendons).

Asparagus: This vegetable has a very nice load of vitamins A, K and the folic acid vitamin B. The role of vitamin B is to help breakdown sugar and starch. It has been said that eating this can help to fend off type 2 diabetes.

Mushrooms: The ugly superfood! Digesting mushrooms helps your body to produce metabolites that boost your immune system and fight cancer.

Strawberries: One of the most anti-oxidants rich fruits that you can eat. 1 cup of strawberries gives us more than 100% of the recommended intake of vitamin C.

Broccoli: Quit hating because 1 cup of broccoli contains more fiber and vitamin C as an orange.

Cauliflower: I know that these are nasty but some people still do eat them. 1cup of boiled cauliflower has the full daily recommendation of vitamin C

Watermelon: If you are really interested in losing weight consider eating watermelon. Watermelon is loaded with a fat burning supplement called arginine. Arginine can seriously burn fat better than fat burners.

Spinach: I'm strong to the finish cuz I eats me spinach. Popeye is the reason why a lot of us started to eat spinach. Spinach has a bunch of nutrients that are good for our body. The list includes vitamin K, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and selenium. Spinach also has a hormone that allows muscle tissue to repair itself faster.

Celery: It's a proven fact that celery can relax the muscle tissue inside of our artery walls which will increase blood flow. This can lower your blood pressure.

Turnips: These are a good source of fiber, calcium and potassium. Turnips also carry cancer fighting glucosinolates.
