🌾 Fiber is essential for a healthy diet!  But did you know🥦

Fiber adds bulk to food, lowers cholesterol, and helps with digestion. 💪

The difference between fiber and regular carbs is that fiber has only 1-2 calories per gram, while regular carbs have 4 calories per gram. 🍎

You should consume 1.0-1.4% of your calories in fiber, which equates to 20-28 grams of fiber for someone consuming 2000 calories per day. 💡

Water intake is also important for fiber consumption - carbs require 3 grams of water per gram, while fiber requires 8 grams of water per gram. 💦

If you have a high fiber day, you may retain more water, but overall it's great for keeping you full with fewer calories. 🤗

Remember to look at your weight loss progress over 8 weeks, rather than just 4, to see the full effect. ⏰
