Take a lot of vegetables in your diet . . .
Vegetables are a gift from nature to us humans…especially to those of us who want to lose a few pounds. Vegetables are what we call a bulking food: in the sense that they are high in water and fiber and low in calories, apart from being full of nutrients and anti oxidants. The high water means more satisfaction, the high fiber content serves two purposes: it fills you up effectively and also keeps you full for longer periods of time. Hence, our cravings for snacks and bingeing are effectively taken care of. One should consume at least three to four portions of vegetables daily. There are some easy ways of including vegetables in your diet .You may take vegetables in the form of juices, just remember to include the fiber and pulp.Slice up or shred your vegetables for sandwiches, salads and soup. Eating them raw is the best option.
