Getting More Fiber in Your Diet

If you read our review of the appetite suppressant Appesat you will know that rather than taking Appesat we recommend UniqueHoodia. There are several reasons for this (see our appesat review for all the reasons) but one big reason is that essentially all Appesat does is give you a boost of fiber in your diet.

Fiber is a natural appetite suppressant which is why you will often see high-fiber cereals advertising that they can keep you full until lunch. It goes without saying that an increase in your fiber intake can be achieved with a few simple (and much cheaper than Appesat) changes in your diet.

Making a change to your diet can, at first, seem like a tough thing to do. However, a few small changes over time and you will soon have increased your fiber intake and start feeling the benefits of appetite suppression.

Before we provide you with some suggestions on how to incorporate more fiber in to your diet let’s first look at what fiber is and what its health benefits are.

Fiber is made up of several complex carbohydrates and can either be soluble or insoluble. Unlike most other foods we consume, fiber contains no calories, vitamins or minerals and therefore passes through your body without being digested. This is also why people suffering from constipation are encouraged to eat more fiber (or roughage as it is also known).

If you are thinking you can gain fiber from eating meat then you are sadly mistaken. Fiber only exists in the cell walls of plants, therefore things like fruit, vegetables, and grain are all commonly high in fiber.

In addition to the appetite suppression and therefore weight loss benefits, fiber also offers other health benefits. It is known to help reduce the risks of bowel problems such as hemorrhoids and cancer of the bowel and colon. It also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce blood cholesterol levels.

As you can see, the benefits of a high-fiber diet stretch much further than just helping you to control your appetite and lose weight. Therefore even if you are happy with your current weight a little more fiber in your diet can only be a good thing.

With this in mind here are some simple meal ideas to help you begin to increase your daily fiber intake:

Breakfast:

  • Wholemeal toast
  • Wheat or grain based cereal
  • Bran muffins
  • Porridge oats
  • Pure fruit smoothie

Lunch:

  • Sandwiches made with wholemeal bread
  • Any vegetable soup with wholemeal bread
  • Beans on wholemeal toast
  • Wholegrain pasta salad
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Fruit Salad

Dinner:

  • Wholegrain pasta or rice with a sauce of your choice
  • Vegetable stir fry
  • Bean or vegetable Enchiladas (use wholemeal tortillas)
  • Vegetable chili with kidney beans

By now you can probably see how easy it is to get more fibre in your diet and why we advise against spending money on Appesat. If you want to suppress your appetite then there is no better option than taking UniqueHoodia. Of course you can combine UniqueHoodia with a change to a high-fibre diet if you wish but it is not essential to help you lose weight.
