Recommended Serving Sizes for the Fruit Group

The Fruit Group can be a dieter's best friend - at meal time and at snack time.

Most fruits are packed with fiber and a diet packed with fiber helps get rid of those packed-on pounds.

As you can see by the chart below - juices also count as fruit servings. When trying to drop weight, I recommend opting for those that are reduced in calories as most juices tend to be extreme in calories. Another issue is that liquids generally don't stick to your bones well, so you're more likely to feel full longer by embracing the incredible edibles.

To insert more fruity goodness into your weight loss plan, add fruit to salads as well as protein based recipes. Dried cranberries with raw baby spinach and a tab of light Raspberry Walnut salad dressing is divine. Pair orange with chicken. It's all good - and good for you!
