The Free Easy Diet Plan - Part 1  |  Part 2


There are so many things for a dieter to cherish when it comes to strawberries - a fruit that has represented love for centuries!

Strawberry benefits for weight loss include the naturally low calorie content, a substantial offering of Vitamin C, a good dose of the oh-so-important dietary fiber, and a satisfying burst of sweetness without all those ugly calories associated with baked desserts.

Fiber can assist in weight loss by keeping the tummy satisfied for longer periods of time, as well as keeping Mister Constipation sitting on the bench while Mister Regularity sits you-know-where.

A happy gut equals a happy body which equals a happy dieter.

The Vitamin C contained in strawberries enhances immunity and boosts skin and oral health. Those individuals taking some prescription medications (contraceptives and antibiotics in particular) as well as individuals taking aspirin may benefit substantially by consuming more Vitamin C in their daily diet as these drugs deplete Vitamin C.

Some individuals are allergic to strawberries and even those who are not that are prone to calcium-oxalate stones should restrict strawberries as recommended by their doctor as strawberries contain oxalic acid and may trigger or contribute to the development of calcium-oxalate stones.

Favorite Quick Low Calorie Recipe for Weight Loss - Mix 1 small bag of baby spinach (raw) with 2 cups of sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of chopped English walnuts. Add either balsamic vinegar or a low calorie raspberry dressing.
