Fruit!

It is definitely citrus and apple season, so make sure you eat your fill. Not only are apples, oranges and other citrus high in fiber, they are also low on the glycemic index and can help combat colds.

All of these are equal to one carb block:
1 small apple
1/2 large apple
1 tangerine
1/2 large orange
1/2 grapefruit
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup grapes
