I have found that since I have started on this journey of losing weight, I am finding out interesting things about foods that I never knew before, so from my research on the internet and in books I am finding about how beneficial some foods can be and how some foods are not.
Take fibre for instance, did you know that fibre can help us feel fuller whilst cutting down the kilojoules, and both types of fibre, soluble and insoluble help with health risks.
Research in to soluble fibre has shown evidence of reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers. For people who have diabetes, it helps regulate glucose levels.
Insoluble fibre reduces the risk of bowel cancer.
Get more fibre into you diet, here are some ideas to help:
From ths shop grab wholegrain breads and cereals, snack on things like air popped popcorn.
Have an apple, orange or grapefruit each day.
Add things like barley, oats or oat-bran to meatloaf, soups and stews.
Add beans to soups and salads
Share some of the ways you get fibre into your diet.
