Although we all know the importance of fiber in our diets, did you know that by simply boosting your daily consumption of fiber and whole grains, you can cut the risk of obesity in half? Eating lots of fiber and whole grains also helps cut the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and can reduce the onset of colorectal cancer.
A Harvard study reported than men who ate just 12 grams more fiber per day than other study participants reduced their waistlines by 1/2" and kept the weight off. In the same study, women who increased fiber by 8 grams per day ate an average of 150 fewer calories per day than those who decreased their fiber intake by 3 grams daily during the study. Women with the highest daily fiber consumption shed an average of eight pounds during the study, compared with a nearly 20-pound weight gain for those who cut fiber intake during the same time period.*
That's because foods rich in fiber and whole grains increase satiety, so you feel fuller while eating less. The recommended intake of fiber is 25 to 38 grams per day.
