New Years Resolution: Eat More Fiber And Lose Fat Faster

Looking to get more fiber in your fat loss diet plan? If you want to lose weight, and you probably do this new year, fiber is a critical element. It’ll not only add more bulk to your plate, allowing you to eat more food overall, but it’ll help to stabilize blood glucose levels, combating hunger in the process.

Research shows, those who consume a higher fiber diet when aiming to lose weight almost always experience less hunger on their plan than those who don’t. Hunger is a bad outcome of any diet plan, it could lead to cheating, quitting a diet altogether or even an eating disorder.

As you start your diet, it’s time you start thinking about how you can increase your fiber intake up higher to prevent hunger. Here are a few simple steps to get you started.

1. Add Flaxseeds To Your Oatmeal

First, consider adding flaxseeds to your morning bowl of oatmeal. Oatmeal is a great way to boost your dietary fiber intake itself and the flaxseeds take this one step further.

They’ll also add in some healthy omega 3 fats, which will promote better heart health, a stronger immune system, and help defend against a variety of different disease.

If you grind the flaxseeds up, you’ll hardly notice them in the bowl of oatmeal at all.

2. Toss Bran Buds Into Your Protein Shake

Next, also consider adding some bran buds into your morning or afternoon protein shake. These will soften up in the liquid so again, you hardly notice them in there. Your body will definitely appreciate the beneficial nutrition that they provide you.

Just watch that you check the sodium level on any bran buds you purchase as some can contain quite high levels and put you at risk for other health problems.

3. Use Blackberries In Pancakes

The next great way to get more fiber into your day is to mix in some blackberries with your morning protein pancakes.

Blackberries are one of the highest fiber containing fruits, so will help get your intake up in a hurry.

In addition to that, they’re also a great source of antioxidants as well, so will help to fend off free radical damage, keeping you as healthy as possible.

If blackberries aren’t your favorite, feel free to sub in any other berry instead if you prefer.

4. Stir-Fry For Dinner

The next great way to boost your nutrient and fiber intake is by doing a big stir-fry for dinner. Few other dishes call for as many vegetables as this and since vegetables are fiber loaded, this is perfect.

Prepare it with a lean source of protein such as chicken, fish, or shrimp and serve it over some brown rice if you have the room for the carbohydrates in your meal plan.

5. Swap Brown Rice For Barley

Finally, if you are really struggling to get more fiber into your day, one simple fix is to swap out the brown rice in your main course meal for some barley instead.

While brown rice is definitely a healthy carbohydrate source, it isn’t nearly as high in dietary fiber as barley is, which will help to lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Most people completely overlook barley as a grain to be eating, but it’s a fantastic choice for anyone seeking more fiber in their diet.  Check out other grain options and swap them into your diet plan for fast fiber fixes.

Keep these quick tips in mind as you go about your diet. If you are not getting in enough fiber on a day to day basis, use any of these strategies to boost your intake and make sure that you are meeting your daily requirements.
