Disclaimer: sure this really should be posted in the Foods section, but I was on here for 3 weeks before I ventured out of the 100 lb club area.....so this is where I am posting it!
Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? I know I am not. And I am certainly not going to buy a colon cleanser that promises to clean out 20-30 pounds of built up toxins.......seriously folks! Quick story.... I have a co-worker who fell for that, and the company even guarenteed their product. If you dont like it in 15 days you can return it, no strings! So she got it, gave her CC# for them to charge after 15 days if she liked it. She went to return it after 12 days, no one would answer the phone. She finally got ahold of them on the 16th day, of course the charge had already gone through. They told her they would refund the money, it took 45 days, and the charged the account the next TWO months.............now 90 days out she is finally done dealing with them, and finally has her money back.
WOW that was a long QUICK story!
Anywhose........fiber is good for cancer prevention, fighting obesity, great for your health, the list goes on and on. We should have 24-38 grams a day, and average diets/ average people consume about 10 grms a day!
So here is a list of high fiber foods.
Bran Cereal 1 cup 19.94 grms
Split Peas 1 cup 16.27 grms
Lentils 1 cup 15.64 grms
Black beans 1 cup 14.92 grms

kale 1 cup 7.20 grms
grapefruit 1/2 6.12 grms
sweet tater 1 cup 5.94 grms
almonds 1 ounce 4.22 grms
Now of course these are not the entire list, but the most common heavy hitters.....What do you eat to increase your fiber? Now Im not talking about fiber one bars, etc, I mean real, whole foods that help your fiber?
