Registered dietitian Sophia Clarke thinks that foods high in fiber are the hidden weapon for rapidly and sensibly losing weight. “Fiber helps control overeating by keeping you feeling full longer,” she says. Her preferred dishes to get you going are listed here.
1. Berry Chia Pudding: “My regular breakfast is this,” Sophia says. Stir two tablespoons of chia seeds with one cup of almond milk and let it sit overnight. For a fiber-dense, mouthwatering beginning to your day, top with fresh berries and sprinkle honey.
2. Lentil and Veggie Soup: “Soups are really soothing, particularly when they’re high in fiber,” she notes. Lentils, carrots, celery, and spinach cooked in vegetable broth form Sophia’s recipe. “It’s nutritious and filling.”
3. Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos “These tacos are quite popular in my house,” Sophia laughs. Roast sweet potato cubes then stir with black beans seasoned. For a lunch high in fiber, serve on whole-grain tortillas topped with avocado and salsa.
4. Snack Smart Sophia advises always having on hand fresh fruit, almonds, or air-popped popcorn. She says, “They’re easy, delicious, and loaded with fiber.”
5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: “Fiber performs best when you’re drinking enough water,” Sophia stresses. Maintaining hydration aids in the digestion process and weight loss promotion of fiber.
These ideas and dishes help you easily increase your fiber intake and meet your weight-loss targets.
