8 vegetables that will help you lose weight

8. Cucumber: No other vegetable can give you a cooling effect as strong as cucumbers. But to your surprise, among all the vegetables mentioned above they offer the least number of calories. Half a cup of sliced cucumbers will give you only 8 calories. They might not be highly rich in fibre like other vegetables but they have high water content, about 50 gm by weight in half cup of sliced pieces, which works well to keep you full for a long time. Here are other excellent health benefits of cucumber.

While you switch to these vegetables for losing weight effectively, don’t forget that without exercise none of them will help you lose weight by themselves. Weight loss can only be achieved with proper exercise and healthy food.
