Lose Weight With Fibre

Eat less, feel fuller?
That's one benefit of high fibre diet. Weight lose is another. Research at Tufts University reviewed data on fibre and found that people who ate an extra 14 grams of fibre daily cut their kilojoule intake by about 10 per cent. Those who added 12 grams lost about half a kilo per month.
Fibre can help with weight loss because it increase the sensation of fullness and influences the hornones that regulate food intake. The America Heart Association recommends that adults get 25 to 30 grams of fibre daily. Fill up on fibre with salad, fruit, beans and nuts.
