When it comes to controlling weight, all fruits and vegetables are not created equal–or so found a new study published in PLOS Medicine, which revealed that extra daily servings of specific foods corresponded with various weight changes (during the four-year intervals in which the 133,000 study participants were tracked). A sampling:
SOY OR TOFU
2.47 lb. lost, on average, over a four-year period
BLUEBERRIES
1.38 lb. lost
APPLES OR PEARS
1.24 lb. lost
PEPPERS
0.76 lb. lost
TOMATOES
0.07 lb. lost
