Increase Fiber Intake For Healthy Weight Loss

Use a juicer to help you lose weight faster  
If you are looking to lose those unwanted pounds from the previous year, try adding more fiber to your diet. The more fiber you eat, the fuller you feel and the faster you will lose body fat. Fiber allows you to go longer between meals and you will eat less at each meal than you would if you didn't eat fiber. When eating fiber, you also want to increase your fluid intake. The water and fiber will help sweep your intestines and move the food through your body and out. This is what you want to happen if you want to lose weight the healthy way.

Plus fiber helps fight off illness and disease such as colon cancer, heart disease, constipation, and high cholesterol.

You don't need weight loss programs to help you get to a healthy weight. One of the best benefits of getting more fiber is that you will be more satisfied than you would if you ate a whole plate of junk foods. Fiber takes longer to chew and digest which is the reason you stay full longer.

Getting the fiber you need isn't hard to do. If you eat the right foods in the first place, you'll get the recommended amount of fiber. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables such as apples, greens, avocado  fennel, nuts, and other fiber rich foods such as oatmeal and mix apples and raisins in it. You can also eat fiber rich cereals, just make sure there is no excess sugars in it.

Whole grains offers some of the best source of fiber, so make sure you eat some at every meal. If you are staying away from grains, just eat fresh or frozen fruits and veggies.

Avocados go well in smoothies along with strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, apple chunks, flax seeds, and cabbage. So instead of cooking breakfast, have a smoothie. You'll feel good if you have one every morning.

After you have your morning smoothie, take the next 30-45 minutes and jog or go on a bike ride. Exercise along with the fiber kicks the digestive system in gear to get rid of waste, toxins, and other harmful chemicals in your body.

Once you make these changes, keep in mind your body will have to get used to the increased amounts of fiber. If you're not used to high fiber in your diet you will experience bloating and gas which will go away after your body gets used to the fiber. Just focus on making it a habit to eat fiber and you'll be fine and remember that the right amount of fiber offers the body a lot of healthy benefits.
