I am not sure if you are aware of this... Fiber is integral in helping us pass motion and is important for preventing constipation. Everyday, about 5-10% of whatever you eat will get left inside your colon. Over long periods of not clearing this up (especially if you are constipated and go to toilet less than 2 times a day), you eventually accumulate tonnes of rubbish in your colon and our colon is capable of containing 2kg-11kg worth of rubbish-- that translate to a huge tummy and lots of extra weight.
Did you ALSO know that FIBER can not only help you relief constipation, it can actually help you fight fat and lose weight?!
The key to losing weight on a fiber rich diet is understanding how fiber works.
Fiber is filling which is great when you're looking to lose weight. The fiber swells in your stomach and in turn quels hunger.
Food that is high in fiber will actually make you feel a lot fuller than food that offers a lower fiber count.
Fiber is also known to lower blood sugar. High fiber foods like oatmeal can actually help you by moderating your blood sugaar level and by keeping your insulin level low.
This is important since low insulin has been linked to lower body fat and a lower risk of diabetes.
And fiber is also known to flush out fat, which is another plus for those looking to lose weight. Certain types of fiber especially the kind found in fruits and vegetables is ideal for sweeping out fat before your body has a chance to absorb it.

Finally, fiber is low cal. If you look at pure fiber itself you'll discover it has '0' calories. And, since you body can't break it down it passes right through your digestive system only leaving bulk.
Think of it this way, from a bulk and fiber standpoint you're better off with a high fiber apple instead of a low fiber glass of apple juice when it comes to losing weight. The apple itself has less calories than a glass of apple juice that contains no fiber.
Consume more fiber today! Your body needs about 12-30gms of fiber everyday. In order to at least consume 12gms of fiber a day, you need to consume at least 6kg worth of green vegetables and foods! Most people consume less than 10gms in their daily intake.
A good way is to take a good fibre product that will not just help you clean up your colon but help you lose more weight!
