Add more veggies to your diet
People who eat more vegetables as part of a healthy and balanced diet are more likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular problems, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. In general, vegetables are rich in healthy nutrients, such as potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin A and vitamin C.Â
“Instead of thinking about the fact that you’re trying to eat fewer carbs, focus on how to add more filling veggies—which are low in carbohydrates—to your plate. By doing this, you’re naturally increasing your fiber intake which boosts satiety and thwarts carb craving,” said Ansari.
