Bingo! Someone gets it.
This is one reason why a vegan whole food diet is so effective in long term weight loss.
But let me tell you about fiber. True eating a lot of fiber tends to fill your stomach up but also the tiny fibers softly scrape the lining of your digestive system, thus pushing toxins and other waste out of your body and allowing better mineral & nutrient absorption basically like a detox. Also fiber isn't absorbed by the body so it can't turn into fat. So yes you'll lose some weight and your overall health will benefit as well.
I get so much fiber per day from organic hemp seed which has 14g of fiber per serving and tastes yummy.
Remember milk, meat & eggs contain no fiber so staying away from those will aid in weight loss as well.
So in closing eat as much fiber as you can as long as it's from whole unprocessed foods because that is in fact the key to staying full while losing weight.
