Fiber-the Secret to Weightloss
Are you eating at least 25 grams of fiber a day? I'm sure you've heard all the benefits of improving heart and digestive health, but did you know fiber can help you lose fat as well?
Fiber has the ability to expand up to 10 times its weight and size in the stomach. Thus, they make you feel full and satisfied for a longer period. And fiber helps not only by satisfying your appetite, but also by slowing down calorie absorption and keeping energy levels up.
Here are some really easy ways to get more fiber into your diet ....
- Whole grain oatmeal's are great sources of fiber and complex carbohydrates. If you haven't had steel cut oats yet, try adding this to your oatmeal for even more fiber.
- Try mixing fruits with your favorite foods. For example, add diced apples or berries to yogurt or cereal (be sure to balance this with a good protein source!).
- Chili (vegetarian or turkey or lean beef), baked beans, and lentil soup are excellent sources of fiber.
- Incorporate dried beans, such as kidney beans, into main dishes, as well as soups and salads.
- Use brown rice, millet, or kashi instead of white rice.
- Add vegetables to burgers, meatloaf, etc.
- Select cold cereals with at least 7 grams of fiber per serving (and that are low in sugar!). For example, All Bran with Extra Fiber has 14 grams and General Mills Fiber One has 13 grams.
- Try adding a little dry oatmeal or wheat germ to your protein shakes. It sounds strange, but it actually adds a good texture and tastes just as good.
Getting more fiber into your diet will go a long way in achieveing your desired weightloss goals.
