10 foods that help shed pounds!!

When it comes to reaching  health and fitness goals, the one factor that will either MAKE or BREAK you is going to be "What you eat". If we did a percentage of how important eating habits is to overall health and fitness the equation would look something like this:
70% (Eating) + 30% Exercise = Health/Fitness


Since what we eat plays such a big factor in the results that we get from our exercise routines,  I want to share what has and still works for me. Here are 10 foods I constantly eat that have helped me to lose and maintain my weight.

Apples           (medium size)       81 calories                 21  carbohydrates           

Grapefruit   (medium size)       74 calories                 19  carbohydrates

Peaches         (medium size)       37 calories                 10  carbohydrates

Plums            (medium size)       36 calories                   8  carbohydrates

Oranges        (medium)               67 calories                 16  carbohydrates

Broccoli        1 cup                        24 calories                   5 carbohydrates

Cabbage         1 cup                        16 calories                   4 carbohydrates

Green beans  1 cup                        44 calories                 10 carbohydrates

Spinach          1 cup                        12 calories                    2 carbohydrates

**All the foods listed here are low in carbohydrate and contain fiber. Foods that contain lower carbs and high fiber digest much slower, which means that they are less likely to be stored as fat. These foods also keep me satisfied and feeling full for longer periods of time. So I'm less likely to overeat.
