Lose weight with Fiber.....

     Eat less, feel fuller? That's one benefit of a high fiber diet. Weight loss is another. Researchers at Tufts University reviewed data on fiber and found that people who ate an extra 14g of fiber daily cut their kilojoule intake by about 10 per cent; thus who added 12g loss about half a kilo per month.
     "Fiber can help with weight loss because it increases the sensation of fullness and influences the hormones that regulate food intake," says study co-author Edward Saltzman.
    The American Heart Association recommens that adults get 25 to 30grams of fiber daily. Fill up on fiber with salad, fruit, beans and nuts.
