Carrots are packed up with beta-carotene and fiber, thus comes top of my list among vegetables for losing weight. I just love the crunch and convenience of carrots. I love them cooked, uncooked and grated in salads. The best thing with carrots are, it can be eaten raw, economical and keep well in the fridge. They are wildly healthy. It has great taste, whatever form you eat, so, just grab a stick and give a munch. Carrot juice on empty stomach is a highly effective drink for weight loss.

Cauliflower was recognized as THE veg of 2017. It's a low-density food, with no fat, plenty of fiber and has great taste. It’s a brilliant vegetable when you´re trying to lose weight, as it’s so versatile. It can replace a mound of potato mash or a bowl of rice and slash the carbs and kilojoules. Half a cauli goes a long way so when it’s in season, why don’t you buy up big? If you’ve always disliked it, try cooking it lightly – just enough to take away its toughness and make it tender to bite. Don’t overcook it.

6. Chilli

Chilli, Fresh or dried add a lot of zing to your meals which makes a diet dinner suddenly come alive. Research says it can boost your metabolism, so your body burns more for a couple of hours afterward. How much to eat? There’s little guidance in the research but I’d guess enough to warm your mouth nicely for 20 minutes after eating. It won’t hurt and does a lot of good. If you can’t stand chili, you can do the same with black pepper, horseradish, hot mustard or wasabi – go gently until you’re used to these oral irritants.

Nutritional Facts - 1 red pod, 20g 30 kJ/7 Cals.

7. Green leaves (butter, iceberg, salad greens)

It is always recommended to have exercise along with a balanced diet. Walking is one of the best exercises and I do myself 1 hour walking every day to keep me fit.
