Although commonly carved into jack-o-lanterns for Halloween or made into pies emblematic of the fall season, pumpkin is so much more! If its bright orange flesh isn’t enough to give away that it’s a storehouse of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, you might be interested to know that this humble vegetable is also low in calories and carbohydrates. The low glycemic load of pumpkin, combined with its low calorie content, makes pumpkin a great choice for keeping blood sugar stable as you lose weight! Even better is that canned pumpkin is an affordable and excellent substitute for fresh – just make sure to purchase pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling! Try the following delicious recipes and enjoy some fall flavour while discovering one of the best weight loss treats around!
