Eat carrots to help with weight loss

Carrots help you feel satiated

I've you're a carrot lover, you'll be happy to know that these sweet and crunchy veggies aren't only good for you, but they can help you lose weight, too.

How?

Carrots are loaded with antioxidants and are relatively fluid-dense. In other words, they contain a lot of water.

This is what helps you feel full. Another reason carrots are great for weight loss is because they contain fibre, which is slow-digesting. This also helps keep you fuller for longer.

Ways to enjoy carrots

Carrots aren't expensive and they're available all year round. Use them in salads, stews, smoothies, raw juices or soups.

Or enjoy them as an on-the-go snack.

And if you have a sweet tooth, don't forget about those carrot muffins or cakes (just watch your portion sizes and the amount of cream cheese frosting!)
