Luckily, carrots are low in calories and can therefore be eaten freely. Include at least one portion of carrots (1/2 a cup of grated carrots) in your diet every day. Although fresh carrots are the healthiest, you can also steam or cook this veggie, whip it into a tasty smoothie or drink carrot juice as an alternative.
