Slimming Vegetables & Fruits

Other than water and thin soups, there are no foods that have as few calories as vegetables . So it is clear that vegetables are ideal for losing weight. You should add the following types of vegetables to your list:

1. Avocados

Potassium, healthy fats and 3.0 percent fiber make avocados a healthy weight loss food. Anyone who eats the fruit in a salad, which we do not count as fruit but as vegetable, boosts nutrient absorption. But be careful: Always consider the high calorie count - three times as much as an apple - and do not eat too much avocado.

2. Broccoli

Vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium - these are just a few of the micronutrients contained in broccoli. In addition, it comes to just 31 kilocalories per 100 grams, has a protein content of 3.0 percent and also provides fiber. Conclusion: The perfect vegetable for losing weight.

3. Mushrooms

Mushrooms - here classified as vegetables, although mushrooms are actually a separate group - consist of 2.9 percent protein, are low in calories (22 kcal / 100 g) and have a very low Glycemic Index (GI) of 15 (for comparison: glucose) has the maximum value with a GI of 100). [2] That is, they hardly raise blood sugar levels. This makes them one of the best foods for losing weight. With the Creamy Mushroom FIT Soup by nu3 you can get this weight loss aid prepared in 2 minutes.

4. Fennel

Fennel also has a GI of 15. [2] And since the vegetable has only 23 kilocalories per 100 grams, it's almost as good for losing weight as mushrooms. Only the protein content is lower at 1.1 percent.

5. Kale

100 grams of kale have only 45 calories, but 4.3 grams of protein and 4.2 grams of fiber. In addition, kale provides more than twice as much vitamin C as a lemon and contains other important nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and iodine. You can't ask for more of a vegetable to lose weight.

6. Cucumber

The cucumber has just 13 calories per 100 grams, because it is 96 percent water. Due to the high water content and volume, the cucumber also ensures good saturation. It is ideally suited as a food for slimming.

7. Carrots

Carrots are relatively low in calories (38 kcal / 100 g) and full of fiber (2.6%), which is why they fill you well. In addition, they are rich in vitamin A or beta-carotene - which is good for the eyes.

8. Rhubarb

One of the lowest calorie vegetables is rhubarb (12 kcal / 100 g). Yes, you read that right, from a botanical point of view, rhubarb is considered a vegetable. In the kitchen it is treated like fruit due to its fruity taste. By the way: the spring vegetables contain valuable nutrients such as vitamin C and calcium.

9. Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts have the perfect nutritional value for foods that can help you lose weight: 4.0 percent protein and 4.3 percent fiber with only 3.5 percent carbohydrates and 0.5 percent fat. That's just 43 calories per 100 grams. Bonus: Brussels sprouts contain a lot of vitamin C as well as smaller amounts of calcium and magnesium.

12. Asparagus

Asparagus - whether green or white - has 27 kilocalories per 100 grams because it is over 90 percent water. Nevertheless, there are many vitamins and minerals in asparagus. You can be sad that this super vegetable for losing weight is only in season from March to June.

With the few calories, the tomato doesn't just look good in a salad. Even as a tomato soup, such as with the tomato soup from BEAVITA (only 204 kcal / serving), you can have a low-calorie dish at noon or in the evening.

Lose weight with fruit

Not only vegetables, fruit also has few calories , that's why losing weight with fruit is so easy. But be careful: Overall, fruit is not as low in calories as vegetables, because it is sweeter and therefore higher in sugar. So you shouldn't eat lots of fruit if you want to lose weight. Juices in particular are not a suitable food for weight loss. Here is a list of some fruits to lose weight:

16.Apples

Unpeeled apples provide plenty of vitamins and minerals such as provitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and C and potassium. And all at around 55 calories per 100 grams. In addition, there is the fiber pectin, which promotes digestion and ensures satiety.

17. Berries

Whether raspberry, strawberry or blackberry - all berries typical in this country have an average of 42 calories per 100 grams in their fresh or frozen, unsweetened form. There are also many vitamins and minerals.

18. Pears

The benefits of the pear? The same as with the apple. In terms of fiber, they are even ahead!

19. Grapefruit

When it comes to losing weight, there is no way around grapefruit. Because, as science found out, you can increase your diet success if you eat half a grapefruit or 100 milliliters of grapefruit juice before eating. Why? Because you eat fewer calories and get full faster. In addition, the bitter substances in the fruit prevent fat from being stored.

20. Watermelon

In terms of calories, the watermelon is in no way inferior to grapefruit. It weighs just 30 kilocalories per 100 grams. In addition, it consists of 92 percent water and can clearly be counted among the low-calorie fillers.
