May Promote Weight Loss

According to population research, those who eat a vegetable-rich diet tend to weigh less than those who consume fewer vegetables. This is because veggies like carrots are low in calories but abundant in nutrients, making them an ideal weight-loss diet. Substituting vegetable-based meals and snacks for high-calorie, processed snacks and dinners will help lower your overall calorie consumption and contribute to healthy weight reduction. Purple carrots are high in soluble fiber, which reduces hunger and food intake by raising hormones that cause sensations of fullness, such as peptide YY.

In a study of 100 women, those who ate 1.6 cups (200 grams) of whole carrots at lunch felt much fuller and ate significantly less the remainder of the day than those who did not eat whole carrots. Furthermore, a major research of over 124,000 participants found that eating anthocyanin-rich foods like purple carrots resulted in better weight reduction in both men and women.
