Strawberries help maintain weight for the same reason as their blueberry counterparts: they are rich in anthocyanins. Incorporate one cup of strawberries a day into your diet – try them with breakfast over low-fat yoghurt or steel-cut oatmeal, as a mid-afternoon snack, or as a dessert after dinner, Peterson says. “The concern has been that eating sweet fruits may cause weight gain due to fructose content, however, certain fruits like green apples, pears and berries like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are among the best fruits to eat as part of a weight management plan not only because they are less sweet, but due to their high flavonoid content.”
