Cucumbers are actually pretty low in carbs and are a very healthy snack and fruit.

Cucumbers contain a chemical known as cucurbitacin E, which has many beneficial effects on health.

1 cup (104 grams) of chopped cucumbers contain about 4 grams of carbs and around 1 gram of fiber so if you're on a low Carbohydrate diet then cucumbers are a great food and snack to eat when trying to lose weight.

The cucumbers will keep you feeling full while helping you keep off the calories as well.

1 cup of cucumbers also contains around 16 calories so they're great for weight loss too.
