Diet part 2 - What to eat: Vegetables and Fruits

Your parents told you to eat vegetables and fruits, not because they're delicious (which they are) but because it's healthy. Here are a few reasons to eat veggies and fruits:


  • It protects you against diseases.
  • They are rich in every essential micronutrient.
  • For the amount of calories it has, it fills you up so it makes you less hungry.

Now about what kind of vegetables/fruit to eat, it's all up to you, although some pretty effective and delicious vegetables and fruits you could eat are:

  • Broccoli - It is high in fiber and low in calorie.
  • Tomatoes - Prevents cancer and it's delicious.
  • Spinach - You know why Popeye eats a ton of spinach? Because it prevents muscle and bone loss AND prevents cancer and heart diseases.
  • Carrots - Huge amount of vitamin A.
  • Oranges - Vitamin C and magnesium help fight diseases, also don't buy orange juice as it's usually mostly sugar, eat them raw or make the juice yourself.
  • Apples & Berries - Rich in antioxidants that prevent cancer, heart and eye diseases.
Eat whatever you find as a vegetable/fruit, as they are high in fiber and low in calorie they are the ideal type of food to eat on a cut.
