Pumpkin and Weight Loss
Pumpkin (one 245g serving) contains 12 grams of carbohydrate and almost no fat.
Some of that carbohydrate (3g) is fiber which means that pumpkin has pretty much no fat and little to no carbs.
It has 2 grams of protein in a whole serving and tons of nutrients. If there was ever a food to lose weight with, it would be this one!
It's almost like eating pumpkin is eating nothing but fiber and water, both of which have no calories so it's a food that delivers pure nutrition with no effect on weight.
You would need to eat about 40 cups per day to maintain your body weight so technically I guess it's possible to gain weight with pumpkin if you were to eat 60+ cups/day, everyday, but good luck with that feat.
Eat and be healthy.
