This is the week 6 of the HABIT CHALLENGE and we will be increasing our fiber intake. Last week was about controlling your late night eating and increasing your daily fiber intake will keep you fuller and help you in losing weight and getting those flat abs you have always desired.
If you don't know, let me remind you that there is no fiber in fizzy drinks, in cakes, biscuits, or
chips. but there are fiber in vegetables, fruits and grains. There are many benefits of increasing your fiber intake.
- fiber reduces the risk of certain cancers.
- it relieves constipation
- it reduces the risk of diabetes and heart disease
- lowers cholesterol
- it also stabilizes blood sugar level
- by filling your tummy with fiber (i.e. few calorie), it enhances weight loss.
there are few easy steps to increasing your fiber intake:
- Instead of snaking on biscuits or cakes why not snack on fruits like banana, avocado, orange or apple, snack on vegetables like cabbage, carrot, lettuces, tomatoes, corn or green beans and nuts like peanut (our ground nut, roasted or cooked) but all these in moderation (always remember that everything must be in moderation).
- Instead of white bread, substitute it for brown bread. brown rice instead of white rice.
- Start adding beans to your meals be it green beans, brown beans, white beans or baked beans.
- make oatmeal (Quaker oat) your friend. its lovely for breakfast and keeps you going all day
EAT IN MODERATION......too much of everything is bad.
