If you want to lose weight, and you probably do this new year, fiber is a critical element. It\u2019ll not only add more bulk to your plate, allowing you to eat more food overall, but it\u2019ll help to stabilize blood glucose levels, combating hunger in the process.<\/p>\n<p id=\"E13\"><span id=\"E14\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessmagazine.com\/recipes\/healthy-eating\/nutrition\/fiber-the-new-fat-fighter\/\">Research shows<\/a>, those who\u00a0consume a higher fiber diet when aiming to lose weight almost always experience less hunger on their plan than those who don\u2019t.\u00a0Hunger is a bad outcome\u00a0of any diet plan, it could lead to cheating, quitting a diet altogether or even an eating disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As you start your diet, it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E22\"><span id=\"E23\">1. Add Flaxseeds To Your Oatmeal<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/ptb-uploads-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Flaxseed_for_rye_bread.jpg\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E25\"><span id=\"E26\">First, consider a<\/span><span id=\"E27\">dding 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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E29\"><span id=\"E30\">They\u2019ll 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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E32\"><span id=\"E33\">If you grind the flaxseeds up, you\u2019ll hardly notice them in the bowl of oatmeal at all. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E35\"><span id=\"E36\">2. Toss Bran Buds Into Your Protein Shake<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-29358 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ptb-uploads-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/triple_berry_smoothie_2_resize1-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"bran in protein shake\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickthebrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/triple_berry_smoothie_2_resize1-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickthebrain.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/triple_berry_smoothie_2_resize1.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"E38\"><span id=\"E39\">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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E41\"><span id=\"E42\">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. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E44\"><span id=\"E45\">3.
