How to Eat More Fiber

Here are a few tips on how to eat more fiber and thus improve your digestion and lose weight.

• Start your day with muesli or a whole-wheat breakfast cereal with no added sugar.
• Eat whole-wheat bread. Remember, whole-wheat bread is richer in fiber than regular bread.
• Make sure your main meal is accompanied by a fiber-rich helping of one of the following:
  - Potatoes, scrubbed not peeled, either baked or boiled
  - Brown rice,
  - Wholewheat pasta
  - Bulgar wheat
• Eat a portion of green peas or beans once a day.
• Eat at least one other portion of fresh vegetables a day. All vegetables contain some fiber, but the really fiber-rich ones are green leafy vegetables like spinach.
• Eat two or three pieces of fresh fruit every day. Remember not to eat too much dried fruit unless it's been soaked and cooked.
