The High Fiber Diet

The high fiber diet is one of the more familiar weight loss diets
that still have a good following. This is possibly a more gentle and
easy to follow weight loss system than the more extreme diets such
as Atkins. Many dieticians and nutritional consultants favor high
fiber diets as they are generally considered to be a safe option that
can have a positive effect on health.
It is always advisable to check worth your doctor before embarking
on any weight loss diet. The high fiber diet has had many fiends
and very few critics in the weight loss world and is thought by
some to have beneficial effects on health, as well as being a good,
reliable way to lose weight.
High fiber weight loss diets generally rely on a combination of
increased fiber in the diet, through more consumption of foods
such as whole grains and cereals and also restricting the amount of
calories in the diet. This approach allows the dieter to promote
weight loss through eating less calories while eating normal
amounts of food and so not getting hungry and being tempted to
eat foods that are not a part of the diet.

Although fiber does not contain any calories that are available to
the dieter it can be beneficial as it helps you to feel full and not to
always be craving more to eat, when on a calorie controlled diet. It
is often this difficulty that many face when on a restricted weight
loss diet. Also high fiber foods can take longer to chew. Although
this is not directly beneficial to weight loss, it does allow the dieter
to feel as though they have eaten a more substantial meal and it
also makes the meal take longer and this in turn helps.
As well as weight loss, some dieticians believe that high fiber
foods can make a positive contribution good health by helping the
food to move more efficiently through the body. Also many of the
foods that are helpful in a high fiber weight loss diet are very good
nutritionally. Many fruits, vegetables and whole grains contain
large amounts of vitamins and minerals and are thought to be very
good for the health, as well as beneficial to the promotion of
weight loss.
There are two different kinds of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber.
Soluble fiber is found in many foods such as fruits, vegetables,
pulses and beans. Soluble fiber is thought to help in keeping
cholesterol down and to reduce the risk of heart disease, according
to some dieticians.

Insoluble fiber is usually found in whole meal foods such as flour,
grains, rice and pasta. And is thought to help with the passage of
the food through the digestive tract and so to promote good
digestive health.
A high fiber diet an take a little getting used to, although this is
also true with many other weight loss diets, but is easy to follow
and has been established for much longer than many of the diets
that are an ever changing feature of the bookstores. It has many
recommendations from health professionals but it is always a good
idea to consult your doctor before chancing your diet or starting a
new weight loss system.
