10 best vegetables for weight loss

When you’re craving higher-kilojoule starchy potatoes or white rice, consider trying cauliflower instead. You can transform cauliflower into a pizza crust, cauliflower rice, or substitute one-half of the potatoes in a recipe for mashed cauliflower, says Van Workum.

You’ll save kilojoules and carbs, plus get more fibre towards your daily goal by switching, making it one of the best vegetables for weight loss. For example, one-half cup of white rice has about 420 kilojoules, 23g of carbs, and zippo fibre.

On the other hand, cauliflower has only 5 grams of carbs, 113 kilojoules and 2 grams of fibre. Plus, cauliflower is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K and folate.
