What's you favorite vegetable?

Question

I'm trying to cut down on fat and live a healthier lifestyle, and in so doing heard that vegetables are essentially "free food" - meaning they have very little calories while at the same time serving as great sources of vitamins and fiber, and are very effective in filling you up. I ask this question to see what others enjoy the most, so that I can get some ideas for the supermarket. Thanks!

Answer 21

Well, all vege's are my favorite.  Beets being the least favorite.  String beans are the most versatile I think. You can do so much with them.  Try 2-3 new varieties of veges a week.  Go onto recipezaar for great recipes.  Your world will open up so much!

Answer 22

my fav vegetable is carrot which has lots and lots of vitamin A .U know about Chinese yin and yang foods ?

U can visit - the taste of asia.com/yin_yang.asp;feng - shui- institute.org;ezinearticles.com/balancin... - yin- yang-foods

   And also carbohydrate may turn into fat instead of converting into energy.so avoid too much carbohydrate also.

all fruits and vegetables are good 4 health.

mango - iron ;

apple - all vitamins and minerals

grapes - citrus , which is an antioxidant ,keeps u young

jack fruit - fibre ;

banana - all minerals

banana's stem - high fibre

carrot , beetroot - all fat soluble vitamins

spinach - iron

beans - proteins

brinjal ,onions - nothing but only taste but also reduce fats

All pulses - proteins

rice - carbohydrates

ghee - fat ,which is good and should be added everyday a teaspoon

coconut - cholesterol should be avoided and  taken once in a month

All milk products are good 4 health but should be taken in a small amount everyday

low fat milk - high proteins

Fibre is the main ingredient for reducing fat . No need to work out at all if u r taking large amount of fibre and proteins a day. U can have lighter meals 6 times a day instead of having 2 or 3 heavy meals a day.
