Easy Ways to add Fiber to Your Diet

Dieting usually sucks, because you cannot eat what you like. Often you have gulp down bitter tasting shakes or the food looks like it was digested at least once before. It becomes even more difficult if you have to work during the day with limited access to a real kitchen or fresh foods. If you are like me, you might have access to a Microwave in the kitchenette at work, but that is it. There is no easy way to prepare fresh meals or good tasting self-made shakes during the day. But that does not mean you cannot add more fiber to your overall fiber intake over the course of a week.  In this fiber blog posting I already mentioned a few lunchables that will fit your fiber35 diet just fine. But variety is king and so I spend another 30 extra minutes in my local supermarket reading food nutrition labels.

When I was younger I loved to eat Beefaroni and I still do. Especially since I took a closer look at the label. Beefaroni are available for lunch in microwaveable portions. You’ll find them in the pasta section in your supermarket. These little lunchables contain a total of 400 calories. I am usually stuffed after ¾ of it, which makes it approx. 300 calories. But I took an extra look at the label. Each serving (2 per container) comes with 3 grams of fiber. If you eat an entire bowl for lunch you will eat 6 grams of fiber. There is a little more fat involved compared to like the Campbell’s Creamy Tomato Soup, but on the upside there is much less Sugar involved. So, you are trading some fat for some Sugar, which probably equals out just fine. And keep in mind that Fiber will give you a “filled” feeling and you will be less hungry for quite a while.

And here is the typical reminder: Eat in moderation. Add more fiber to your diet. Try to exercise a little bit to increase your possible weight loss.
