I am trying to incorporate more fiberous foods. What are some good foods/recipes that I can eat with a lot of fiber. How much fiber should we be getting a day to help in weight loss

    Slowly increase your fiber intake to reduce digestive issues (bowels will stand and fart at attention!)

    Have a salad with your meal, filling up half your plate. Get your sweets from fruit. Simply change up your recipe ingredients to their higher fiber cousins. Don't peel your potatoes. Whole grain rice, whole wheat.

    Fiber helps weight loss obliquely by filling you up with non-digestible stuff.
