Who the heck eats figs anyway? Well, people that want to lose weight would be doing themselves a favor by introducing figs into their diet. Figs are naturally sweet which makes them a great food to help satisfy those sweet-tooth cravings. Figs are another food that’s high in fiber, a trait that helps slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream and prevent that “sugar rush” that you might get from candy or cupcakes. Each fig contains just 37 calories, making it a great between-meals snack that will fill you up and help banish cravings as well.
