Broccoli is an excellent carb that is high in fiber, which assists digestion, reduces constipation, keeps blood sugar levels low, and inhibits overeating. Broccoli is also beneficial for weight loss due to its high fiber content. Fiber promotes feeling full after eating just a small amount of food, so you won't need to eat as much. Fiber also lowers the absorption of fat, protein, and carbohydrate which means less of these nutrients are circulating in your body. Fiber is known to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones too.

The best thing about broccoli is that it's nutritious and filling.
