Over the course of the two-year study, the researchers found that boosting fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories resulted in about 4 ½ pounds of weight lost. This is not impossible to do!

Here are some excellent sources of fiber:

  • Apples
  • Chickpeas
  • Pumpkin
  • Green beans
  • Sweet potatoes

You won’t be as hungry, and you will be eating fewer calories. It’s a no brainer!

We have two kinds of finer to choose from. Fruits tend to have fiber that absorbs water on the way through your body and so helps with  softening stools. Nothing like constipation to wreck your day!

The other kind of fiber just adds bulk, and is present mostly in whole grain foods.
