Are you looking for ways to fill up on fiber? If you want to speed up your weight loss program, use my 9 tips for packing fiber into your diet:

  • Add a few spoonfuls of unprocessed wheat bran to your morning breakfast
    choice
  • Choose whole grain low carb breads or tortillas
  • Use whole wheat flour for half of any baking flour
  • Try brown rice, barley, whole wheat or spelt pasta
  • Add beans to your diet using garbanzos, kidney and white navy beans
  • Raw vegetables, dried fruits, low-fat popcorn can increase your fiber
    count.
  • Add barley to soups or stews
  • Eat generous quantities of vegetables
  • Add bran cereal to foods such as meatloaf.

    • Again, portion control is important, but if you focus on these items
    you will pack a lot of fiber into fewer carbs and calories and that can spell WEIGHT LOSS in any language!

    Step
    Away from These Bad Boys

    Want to know which foods are the WORST ones to ever pass your lips?
    Steer your grocery cart clear of:

  • DONUTS
    White flour, sugar and fried. Need I say more.Okay I will: trans fats
  • MARGARINE
    Two words: trans fats. Butter, especially unsalted butter is your best
    choice.
  • SUGARED CEREALS
    I’m talking puffed, dyed, sweetened and chock full of chemicals. Hmm..maybe
    THIS is where the weapons of mass destruction are hiding! Again, trans
    fats.
  • SPORTS DRINKS
    Anything that reminds you of antifreeze or your children’s waterpaint
    cleaner CAN’T be good for you. These products are stuffed with sugar
    polymers with no nutritional benefit.
  • TOASTER PASTRIES
    The ingredient lists of these products COULD be used to make weapons
    of mass destruction in your body.Remember those two words: trans fats.
  • CHIPS
    I’m not talking the Eric Estrada kind…but those greasy, processed,
    frankenstein version of real food. Again, two words: trans fats.
  • SODA POP
    9 teaspoons of sugar per can. Just pour the “pounds” down the drain.
  • BALONEY/HOT DOGS
    Any food that is made up of animal parts that are so fat laden they
    could lube your sports bike doesn’t belong in your diet.
  • CRACKERS
    Hydrogentated trans fats and white flour. Nuf said.
