Fiber is a great food for dieting.  It fills you up, and keeps you feeling full for hours.  It also keeps some calories from being absorbed and helps to curb cravings.  It keeps your blood-sugar from spiking, and as a side benefit it keeps you from storing some fat.  One of the best benefits I feel you get from adding fiber to your diet is it helps keep you from being hungry all the time.

Fiber will fill you up very fast, so you end up eating less.  High fiber food is bulky, so it you feel full for a longer amount of time than when you eat non fiber rich foods.

Fiber rich foods help to stop carb cravings.  By eating fiber when your blood-sugar spikes, it will help you to not crave more carbohydrates between meals.  You also won’t feel like snacking at night, since you will still feel full when night time comes.

Fiber also grabs onto some of your calories, and keeps them from being digested and absorbed by the body.  When excess calories are digested, they go straight into fat cells. That’s not a good thing. A fiber rich diet will help to prevent this.

Eating high fiber foods like whole wheat breads and pastas will keep you feeling full much longer than a carbohydrate rich diet.  Since you feel full, you will cut down on the snacking, and lower your overall calorie intake each day.

Fiber keeps you from storing as much fat.  By keeping the blood-sugar from spiking, it limits fat-storage and keeps you from feeling as hungry during the day.

Fiber is such a great fat loss supplement.  You can do almost anything with it.  Get some high fiber pasta, throw in some spices, and you have a great snack you can take and eat anywhere.

Water is a great addition to fiber.  It helps flush your system and keeps you well hydrated.  Be sure to drink your eight-eight ounce glasses of water a day.  That translates to a half gallon since many people use bottled water. Why not also do your part and help keep disposable water bottles out of our landfills and purchase a water filter and reusable water bottles.

Make sure you talk to your doctor about any new diet and/or exercise plan before you start.  Let’s make sure it fits in with your medications and any special limitations you may have.
