Book Review: The Fiber 35 Diet
Miracle Nutrient for Weight Loss and Better Health
Tired of low-fat and low-carb diets? See how increasing your fiber can change the way you eat and feel.
In The Fiber 35 Diet, Brenda Watson shares her knowledge of fiber and the digestive system to help you lose weight and improve your health.
Watson describes fiber as the “miracle nutrient.” She explains that “fiber and fiber-rich foods actually help regulate blood sugar, control hunger, and increase the feeling of fullness - all of which are essential to losing weight and keeping it off.” (2)
Watson lists 8 reasons fiber is a miracle nutrient:
- It can help you lose weight.
- It allows you to maintain your weight loss.
- It reduces your chances of having a heart attack.
- It controls your blood sugar, therefore warding off Diabetes.
- It prevents cancer.
- It helps with regular bowel movements.
- It helps you develop a strong immunity to illness and diseases.
One of the most impressive benefits of increasing your fiber intake is that is actually negates calories you’ve eaten for the day. Taking in more than 35 grams of fiber per day can help you take a 1700 calorie day and make it a 1400 calorie day, making weight loss a reality.
How does it work?
Fiber absorbs calories and carries them out of the body as waste, so they aren’t able to be stored as fat. In this way, fiber act as a natural fat blocker, much like the popular fat blocker pills available for weight loss.
If it’s that easy we should all boost our fiber intake today and take in 35 or more grams of fat per day, right? Wrong! Adding fiber to your diet needs to be done gradually. Though fiber is a natural and healthy nutrient, it can also mess up your digestive system if you overload on it too quickly. Your body needs time to adjust to the increase in fiber.
