Why is Fiber Key to a Healthy Diet?

Fiber is key to a healthy diet. Studies have shown that most people with high fiber diets lose more weight.  

Fiber actually acts as a binding agent, it blinds to fatty deposits flushing them out of your system increasing weight loss.  

Another plus: fiber increases bulk in the stomach, which promotes feelings of satiety to help reduce food intake by 40 percent.

Most experts suggest 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day.

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association looked at the diets of 52 overweight/obese people and compared them to 52 normal-weight people.

Results indicated that the diets of the obese group had higher amounts of fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, and lower amounts of fiber intake.

Increase your daily fiber intake to 25% and you will increase you weight loss. Add a workout routine to this and you will really start to shed the pounds. There are a lot of high fiber foods to choose from (see blow) so starting eating your fiber.
