diets help manage hunger and eliminate calories from foods by leading them out
of the body via the stool. As a result, it’s easier for you to lose weight.
Eating the Right Kinds of Carbs Can Make a Big Difference
It is a clinically proven fact that in order to lose weight, you must consume fewer
calories than you burn. This can be accomplished by eating fiberrich foods. Fiber
is Mother Nature’s natural appetite reducer. By eating 40 to 50 grams of fiber a
day, you will lose weight and reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and a
host of other related conditions. Always remember: the right carbs do not come
in boxes that state they are low in fat or fatfree.
