Are You Trying To Get At Least 25 Grams Of Fibre A Day?

I'm sure you've heard all the benefits of improving heart and digestive health, but did you know fibre can help you lose fat as well?

Fibre has the ability to expand up to 10 times its weight and size in the stomach. Thus, they make you feel full and satisfied for a longer period. And fibre helps not only by satisfying your appetite, but also by slowing down calorie absorption and keeping energy levels up.

Here are some really easy was to get more fibre into your diet ....

- Whole grain oatmeal's are great sources of fiber and complex
carbohydrates. If you haven't had steel cut oats yet, try adding
this to your oatmeal for even more fibre.

- Chili (vegetarian or turkey or lean beef), baked beans, and lentil
soup are excellent sources of fibre.

- Incorporate dried beans, such as kidney beans, into main dishes,
as well as soups and salads.

- Use brown rice, basmati rice or millet instead of white rice.

- Add vegetables to burgers, meatloaf, etc.

- Try adding a little dry oatmeal or wheat germ to your protein shakes. It sounds strange, but it
actually adds a good texture and tastes just as good.

I hope these tips were helpful.
