Are you getting in at least 25 grams of fiber a day??? I know if you are on a silar eating schedule
as me, you sure are! lol
Be sure you are shooting for at least 25 grams of fiber!! Here are a few benefits of fiber…
-improving heart and
-digestive health
– staying full and satisfied
-regular…
and I swear, fiber helps you with fat loss!! Yes, it sure does!!
Fiber 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 fiber 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 fiber 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 fiber.
– Chili (vegetarian or turkey or lean beef), baked beans, and lentil
soup are excellent sources of fiber.
– Incorporate dried beans, such as kidney beans, into main dishes,
as well as soups and salads.
– Use brown rice, quinoa, whole grain products instead of white rice and white products.
– Add vegetables to burgers, meatloaf, etc. (there’s a great
“Healthy Burger” on the Fast Track site, if you want it).
– Try adding a little dry oatmeal or wheat germ to your protein
-Try adding Psyllium, Wheat germ, or Flaxseed to your protein shakes. Not only does this add to
the fiber content but makes your shakes thicker!
-Remember, in my programs, Veggies are FREE!! (except peas, carrots and corn!!) have at it! The more
the merrier! I can honestly say, I dedicate a lot of my success to veggies and Fiber!
Hope this helps and enjoy!
