Eat Fiber to prevent weight gain long term
March 1, 2010 – 8:11 amNew study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proves what many Clinical Nutritionists have been saying all along — EAT FIBER! Long term consumption of a high-fiber diet fends off weight gain. Meaning, if you consistently choose high-fiber foods you’re more likely to be lighter as the years go by. Aim for 35-40 grams per day. Count ‘em for a few days and see where you’re landing, then increase incrementally to avoid intestinal bloating.
Plants contain fiber! Eat whole grains, legumes, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds. More plants = more fiber.
