With winter, comes our barrage of cravings. From Gajery halwa to decadent hot chocolate, there’s something about nippy weather that makes us want to bite into everything good and fat. But eating such food every other day can invite extra kilos. So, we have given you a list of seasonal fruits and vegetables that can help in weight loss.
1. Carrots
Red carrots are full of fiber and low in carbohydrates, making them a great choice for weight loss. You can add them to salads, sandwiches, or blend them into smoothies or make carrot soup.
2. Radish
Radish, again a winter vegetable, is used in various winter preparations. It is low in calories, high in fiber and helps nourish you from the inside out.
3. Guava
The crunchy and ever-delightful guava is one of those winter fruits that we can never get enough of. Guavas are rich in dietary fiber, providing about 12 percent of your daily recommended fiber intake.
4. Spinach
Leafy and beautiful, spinach is a treasure trove of antioxidants and minerals. It can also help improve the health of your skin, lower blood pressure levels, manage diabetes and even shed a pound or two. It is best to cook spinach to get maximum benefits.
5. Methi (Fenugreek)
Both fenugreek seeds and fenugreek leaves are great for weight loss. The fiber-rich leaves are preferred in both curry and dry preparations. Accompany them with warm roti and enjoy the season to the fullest.
