Kick up the Fiber!

Going back and reviewing your baby steps is one way to keep a sound game plan going. Remember the water, the eating breakfast, watching portion size. Don't forget about what we said about alcohol consumption. You can, just be smart about it.

The food goal this week is to add more fiber. Figure on 25 grams daily for women; 38 grams daily for men. So can eating a high-fiber cereal. Among the options (and I have no financial connection with any of these companies) :
All Bran, Cheerios, Shredded Wheat, Oatmeal.

Add to that whole grain crackers, bread and pasta. Also, beans are a real high-fiber winner, packing up to 17 grams per cup. Also Fruit and Vegetables are great sources of fiber.

If you haven't thought about it yet, perhaps a goal for this week is to see where you are lacking regarding the fiber in your diet and focus on making that a priority. . Stay on track with what helped you lose those first pounds and focus on keeping them OFF!
