Here are a few great vegetables to consider:

Salad greens: These include all leafy greens you use to make
a salad, including Swiss chard, dandelion greens, watercress,

arugula, and kale. These greens boast plenty of healthy vitamins,
so load up your plate!

Peppers: Peppers range from mild and sweet to fiery hot and

everything in between. All peppers are excellent for weight loss and
weight management. Peppers are one of the richest sources of
vitamin C, which boosts immune system function and assists in the
assimilation of other nutrients.

Sweet potatoes: Although sweet potatoes are higher in sugar than
some other vegetables, they are also jam-packed with nutrients.
A four-ounce potato contains three grams of fiber and is one of

the best sources of potassium. These tasty potatoes also contain
vitamin A and vitamin C.

Tomatoes: One cup of cherry tomatoes contains two grams

of protein and two grams of fiber. The biggest health bonus of
tomatoes is that they are rich in lycopene, a carotenoid which is
highly beneficial for cancer prevention, according to the Linus
Pauling Institute.
