1 sneaky way to get more fiber in your meals this week |
Experts say there are some major drawbacks to not hitting your fiber quota: Without enough fiber, people may feel bloated, constipated and gassy and they may feel less satisfied after their meals, which can lead to overeating. Fiber can also help lower cholesterol, meaning getting more in your diet can have heart-health benefits, too. Adding more fiber to your meals can be surprisingly easy. If you're looking for a food that will give you the most bang for your buck, lentils are the MVP. A serving of brown lentils come with 9 grams of fiber and French green lentils contain a whopping 14 grams. And they are easy to sneak lentils into sauces, soups and stews to add a hefty dose of fiber to your favorite fall meals. 7 other sneaky ways to trick yourself into eating more fiber. |
