Top Five Fruit Picks
Dr. Kenney of Communicating Food for Health suggests the following fruits for those wishing to lose weight, especially if they have the metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes:
1. Kiwis
2. Berries: strawberries, blueberries
3. Oranges
4. Plums
5. Cherries
They are all rich in beneficial vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals and all have a fairly low energy density, glycemic index and sugar-to-fiber ratio, making them great for weight loss and blood sugar control.
