When Naomi Adams began emphasising fibre, she was considering blood sugar regulation rather than only digestion. She stabilised her energy levels, lowered her cravings, and made managing her prediabetes much simpler by include more meals high in fibre.
“Fibre helps prevent blood sugar spikes by slowing down digestion,” Naomi notes. “Once I started giving fibre top priority, I felt fuller for longer and had less energy crash frequency.” Muesli loaded with chia seeds and berries is one of her preferred forms of fibre. She comments, “It’s the perfect breakfast since it keeps me full and helps control my blood sugar.”
She likes a quinoa and black bean salad high in leafy greens for lunch. “Whole grains and legumes are great for blood sugar balance because they are bursting with fibre and protein,” she says. Often dinner consists of grilled fish, lentils, and roasted veggies. She says, “Lentils are a great plant-based protein source and loaded in fibre.”
Naomi also eats hummus with raw vegetables and almonds and seeds. “I choose foods that nourish my body and keep me satisfied instead of grabbing for processed snacks,” she explains. Naomi has had better digestion, less cravings, and more stable blood sugar since she has increased her fibre consumption. “It’s such a small adjustment, but it makes a big difference,” she notes.
Her guidance? Consider what you might add in addition to what you should cut away. More fibre is easy to add to any meal and indicates improved health.
Knowing every mouthful supports her health, Naomi now confidently enjoys her food.
