We put on weight because we take in more food than our body needs to function. The result: the surplus is transformed and stored as fat. Turnips are one of the lowest-calorie vegetables, with just 18 calories per 100 grams. So it's easy to eat with meals. The turnip is a very low-calorie, high-fibre root. So it's a good choice as a slimming ally. What's more, fibre is important in a diet designed to help you lose weight. As a result, it keeps you fuller for longer and stimulates transit. Not to mention its richness in minerals and vitamins, making it a good antioxidant and an interesting food in the prevention of certain cancers.

Turnips are also excellent for slimming down, as they contain a lot of fibre, which encourages intestinal activity and prevents a bloated tummy. It goes perfectly with lean meat. It can be steamed. For the diet to be effective, it's best to avoid all sources of fat such as oil or butter.
