How to Lose Weight by Eating these Top 9 Vegetables
Top 9 Vegetables for weight loss
1. Cucumber:
Cucumber is one of the best vegetables for weight loss. It´s extremely low in calories and contains lots of water. As well as being served up in salads.
2. Broccoli:
When trying to lose weight, include plenty of broccoli in your diet. slow-release carbohydrates, which is great for helping to keep your energy levels up.
3. Beans:
You might not have realized that beans actually count as vegetables. The great thing about using them for weight loss is that they also count as a source of protein and have lots of fiber. So cut down on your meat intake and substitute all or some of it with beans instead.
4. Spinach:
Spinach is another brilliant vegetable when you´re trying to lose weight. If you´ve always disliked it, try cooking it very lightly – spinach needs barely any cooking at all. You can also serve it raw in salads.
5. Carrots:
Carrots should be included among vegetables for losing weight. Just think of all that beta-carotene and fiber! The other good thing about carrots is that they are great eaten raw – all that chewing will keep you busy!
6. Celery:
Celery is pretty much all water, and contains hardly any calories, so it´s great for weight loss. You also get fiber and protein as well. Celery is another vegetable that´s great for eating raw – just don´t be tempted to smother it with a creamy dip!
7. Peppers:
Here´s why peppers are brilliant for weight loss. Do your diets fail because you have a craving for sweet foods? Red, yellow and orange peppers are very sweet, so can help satisfy (or at least distract) those cravings – and they´re great for providing Vitamin C too!
8. Onions:
When choosing vegetables for losing weight, it´s important to remember that you want to include lots of flavors so that your diet doesn´t get too boring. Onions are excellent for adding taste to your meals, whether you prefer them raw or cooked.
9. Leafy Green Vegetables:
I´ve already mentioned spinach as an excellent vegetable for weight loss, and leafy green vegetables in general are very useful in achieving this aim. They are low in calories but high in fiber and vitamins. Try kale, watercress, lettuce, Swiss chard and mustard greens.

Weight-loss and Diet Myths
Myth: Fad diets will help me lose weight and keep it off.
Healthy habits may help you lose weight.
•Make healthy food choices. Half of your plate should be fruits and veggies.
•Eat small portions. Use a smaller plate, weigh portions on a scale, or check the Nutrition Facts label for details about serving sizes (see below).
•Build exercise into your daily life. Garden, go for family walks, play a pickup game of sports, start a dance club with your friends, swim, take the stairs, or walk to the grocery store or work.
Combined, these habits may be a safe, healthy way to lose weight and keep it off.
Fact: A grain product is any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain. Grains are divided into two subgroups, whole grains and refined grains. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel—the bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples include brown rice and whole-wheat bread, cereal, and pasta. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins.
TIP: To lose weight, reduce the number of calories you take in and increase the amount of physical activity you do each day. Create and follow a healthy eating plan that replaces less healthy options with a mix of fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein foods, and low-fat dairy:
•Eat a mix of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
•Limit added sugars, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and saturated fat.
•Eat low-fat protein: beans, eggs, fish, lean meats, nuts, and poultry.
