Eat More Fiber to Lose Weight
If you want to be healthy, it makes perfectly good sense to cut out the burgers and fries, soda, desserts, beer, and other junk food. Right?
Wait a minute. Before you go off and pledge to boycott all of your favorite foods, there may a better way. Instead of worrying about which foods and beverages you can’t have, why not take the exact opposite approach and increase your intake of foods that you should eat more of and are good for you!
How much fiber do you need?
One way to do that is focus on increasing your intake of fiber-rich foods. According to the American Dietetic Association, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) range for fiber intake is 30-38 grams for men and 21-25 grams for women. Currently, the average American only takes in about 15 grams.
