Oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines

Therefore, to avoid accumulating excess, it is often not recommended to eat a lot of fruits, but this does not apply to citrus fruits.

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower

All types and varieties are allies of slimness. A serving of chopped cabbage has only 7 kcal, and you can make many dishes from them: soups, salads, main courses, add to juices and smoothies. Of course, you shouldn`t, for example, eat only cabbage 3 times a day, because the substances they contain compete for absorption with iodine. But we need it for normal thyroid function. However, you can include them in the menu several times a week.
