When dieting, counting calories can render awesome results on your weight scales!  Vegetables are tops for dieters because most all are ultra-low in calories and contain zero-minimal fat.  Oh my, there is a pretty picture developing here - and that picture is YOU!  

And vegetables make a healthy choice for anyone - dieting or not! Steaming your vegetables or enjoying them raw without added sauces/oils is the absolute healthiest means of preparation, though because they are so low in calories, a bit of sauce/glaze will certainly keep vegetables well within 'diet calorie range'.  Be sure to wash all vegetables well  before use to remove harmful bacteria and insecticides.  No calorie butter spray can be used generously, so squeeze that bottle and in turn, squeeze those unwanted pounds away by enjoying something healthy and diet smart!
