Why does eating eggplant help lose weight?
Eggplant contains high fiber content and extremely low calories, these are two "golden" factors in every healthy diet. The fiber in eggplant not only helps you feel full longer but also aids digestion and improves the intestinal microflora all of which are core factors in sustainable weight control, said nutritionist Gauri Anand (Indian Association of Nutrition and Dietetics).
A study published in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences also confirmed that a diet rich in fiber helps reduce appetite and reduce total daily calorie intake. When the stomach is filled with fiber-rich foods like eggplant, the craving for sweets and fatty foods will be gone.
