If you read my review of the appetite suppressant Appesat you
will know that rather than taking Appesat I recommend
UniqueHoodia. There
are several reasons for this (see my appesat review for all the reasons)
but one big reason is that essentially all Appesat does is give you a
boost of fiber in your diet.
Fiber is a natural appetite suppressant which is why you will often see
high-fiber cereals advertising that they can keep you full until lunch. It
goes without saying that an increase in your fiber intake can be achieved
with a few simple (and much cheaper than Appesat) changes in your diet.
Making a change to your diet can, at first, seem like a tough thing to do.
However, a few small changes over time and you will soon have increased
your fiber intake and start feeling the benefits of appetite suppression.
Before I provide you with some suggestions on how to incorporate more
fiber in to your diet let’s first look at what fiber is and what its
health benefits are.
Fiber is made up of several complex carbohydrates and can either be
soluble or insoluble. Unlike most other foods we consume, fiber contains
no calories, vitamins or minerals and therefore passes through your body
without being digested. This is also why people suffering from
constipation are encouraged to eat more fiber (or roughage as it is also
known).
If you are thinking you can gain fiber from eating meat then you are sadly
mistaken. Fiber only exists in the cell walls of plants, therefore things
like fruit, vegetables, and grain are all commonly high in fiber.
In addition to the appetite suppression and therefore weight loss
benefits, fiber also offers other health benefits. It is known to help
reduce the risks of bowel problems such as hemorrhoids and cancer of the
bowel and colon. It also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce
blood cholesterol levels.
As you can see, the benefits of a high-fiber diet stretch much further
than just helping you to control your appetite and lose weight. Therefore
even if you are happy with your current weight a little more fiber in your
diet can only be a good thing.
With this in mind here are some simple meal ideas to help you begin to
increase your daily fiber intake:
Breakfast:
Whole wheat toast
Wheat or grain based cereal
Bran muffins
Porridge oats
Pure fruit smoothie
Lunch:
Sandwiches made with whole wheat bread
Any vegetable soup with whole wheat bread
Beans on whole wheat toast
Wholegrain pasta salad
Nuts and seeds
Fruit Salad
Dinner:
Wholegrain pasta or rice with a sauce of your choice
Vegetable stir fry
Bean or vegetable Enchiladas (use whole meal tortillas)
Vegetable chili with kidney beans
By now you can probably see how easy it is to get more fiber in your diet
and why I advise against spending money on Appesat. If you want to
suppress your appetite then there is no better option than taking
UniqueHoodia. Of course you can combine
UniqueHoodia with a change to a
high-fiber diet if you wish but it is not essential to help you lose
weight.
