Five Tricks To Fiber Up Your Diet
Fiber is Fabulous! It fills you up so you eat fewer calories and lose weight.
Research suggests that diets high in fiber may also reduce the risk of developing diabetes. Additionally, fiber may offer some protection against colon cancer, although studies have not produced consistent results.
So, are you feeling the urge to fiber up your plate? This is how you do it:
- Eat fruit with breakfast every morning.
- Eat a banana or apple before you wind up your breakfast.
- Add lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to your sandwiches and swap white bread for whole wheat.
- Throw a bag of mixed frozen veggies in the microwave for a veggie side dish that's ready in minutes.
- Add chopped vegetables to gravies, soups, rice dishes, dals, maggi – almost anything is better with more vegetables.
- Drink plenty of water as you work on increasing your fiber intake.
Challenge yourself to try at least one of these tips every day in the coming week before you know it, you'll be full of fiber, healthier, and feeling fabulous!
