Fiber Diet

The Secret to Feeling Satisfied while Losing weight

If you want to lose weight without feeling hungry and deprived all the time, start eating foods high in fiber. High-fiber foods are higher in volume, which makes them filling. They also take longer to chew, which makes them more satisfying to eat. High-fiber foods also take along time to digest, which means you’ll feel full longer. There’s nothing magic about it, but the weight –loss results may seem like it.

High-Fiber heavyweights include:

Fruits and vegetables – Enjoy whole fruits across the rainbow (starwberries, apples, oranges, berries, nectarines, plums), leafyt salads and green veggies of all kinds.

Beans-Select beans of any kind (black beans, lentils, split peas, pinto beans, chickpeas). Add them to soups, salads and entrees, or enjoy them as a hearty dish of their own.

Whole grains- try high-fiber cereal, oatmetal, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole wheat or multigrain bread, bran muffins, or air-popped popcorn.
