HIGH FIBRE DIET HELPS

Thursday, November 12, 2009

The more fiber in the diet the better because its bulk would tend to make one eat less carbohydrates compared to the normal highly refined and processed diet which is full of calories and which one has in most of the developed countries of the world. One eats less carbohydrate with a fiber diet, as a fiber diet gives one a feeling o fullness which one seldom gets from a refined and processed diet. With a refined and processed diet one would have to eat large quantities to get a feeling of fullness.

Africans in rural areas who eat enormous quantities of food do not fat get because a large proportion of their food intake consists of fibre diet, which is big in bulk and therefore does not contain very large quantities of fattening carbohydrates. The most effective manner in which weight can be reduced is to plan one’s diet on a long-term basis and not on a crash basis and to reduce, say, only one pound a week; no less.
