Fiber Fills You Up, Without Adding Calories

Published by lroeder at 1:00 am under All Posts, Nutrients Edit This

You hear a lot about fiber when you read the health news, but what does it mean to someone like you who is trying to lose weight? The answer is, a lot.

First of all, since your body is not able to digest fiber, it just moves through your system without adding any calories. As it moves through your system it grabs onto some cholesterol and takes that along with it. You get the minerals from the fiber, but not the calories.

When you eat high fiber bread or cereal you’ll probably notice that you stay full longer. This is great when you’re trying to lost weight because that means you’re not hungry all the time. If you need a snack between lunch and dinner, make it a high fiber snack.
