Losing weight forces you to be selective about your diet. It is no secret that even healthy vegetables and fruits that are recommended to be eaten on a diet can cause you to gain extra pounds.
But there is a vegetable, the consumption of which will not be a problem for weight loss and the body as a whole.
This is a bell pepper that is available to everyone and contains a large amount of vitamin C and other useful substances, which are essential in the autumn and winter.
It differs from all other vegetables in that it has a minimal amount of calories, experts say.
If you measure the amount of bell peppers eaten in cups, then one serving contains only 39 calories.
At the same time, peppers contain a lot of fiber - about 3 grams per serving. And they also contain a lot of water.
This circumstance makes pepper useful in the fight against excess weight.
The same amount of bell pepper contains up to 190 mg of vitamin C, which is 2 times more than the daily requirement for an adult.
It was noted that eating pepper while losing weight and exercising allowed you to burn 25% more fat.
