Dietary fiber promotes weight loss by helping to block the body's digestion of fat and proteins.
In a recent study, people absorbed fewer calories when the fiber content of their meals was increased. Over the course of a year, that reduction will bring a loss of roughly 10 pounds. You probably know that food rich in carbohydrates and fiber and free of hydrogenated fat help you stay healthy. Steamed vegetables, fruits, whole-wheat bread, brown rice, or oatmeal help you relax by providing your body with a source of energy that is steadily metabolized and continuously absorbed and by stimulating the relaxing brain chemical serotonin. When these foods are consumed with some protein they leave you feeling calm and focused.
