High Fiber Diet

A high fiber diet is certainly effective when it comes to weight loss.It is recommended by nutritionists worldwide for a number of reasons and it has been proved that a high Fiber diet is more effective for weight loss than low carb diets.This is because Fiber is not easily digested by the body thus leaving the feeling of fullness for longer.Other factors that cause Fiber rich foods leaving an individual fuller for longer is the fact that Fiber absorbs water whilst chewing which means it will swell like a sponge in the stomach not only making you feel fuller but because it is hard for the body to digest it will make you feel fuller for a much longer period than other foods.

Other reasons for Fiber's effectiveness is that the food generally takes longer to chew which allows time for the hormone to tell your brain that you are full before you have overeaten. Fiber rich foods also tend to be lower in calories than other foods which means you are eating less calories to become full.

The recommended Fiber intake is roughly 18grams of Fiber which can be increased to a maximun of 24grams.Fiber has also been proven in several studies to decrease problems in the bowel as the Fiber intake in undeveloped countries like Uganda is very high and the bowel problems experienced are next to none.

There are two types of Fiber: Soluble and Insoluble Fiber. Soluble fibre is found in fruits, vegetables, oats, barley and pulses such as lentils and beans. Soluble Fibre is thought to cling to choleterol which prevents cholesterol from re-entering the blood stream.It is also thought that soluble Fiber turns into a gel when it reaches the intestine, this prevents glucose and carbohydrates from being absorbed thus keeping your blood sugar levels steady. Insoluble Fiber on the other hand is what helps keep your bowel movement regular and soft. Insoluble Fiber includes grains like; wholegrain bread, wholegrain cereals, wholewheat pasta, brown rice, bran, some fruit and vegetables.

With all this in mind, a High Fiber Diet is definetly recommended for fast and effective weight loss.
