Weight Loss - The Importance of Fibre in Your Diet

[quinn rithi]

The role of fibre is essential to weight loss and has an intriguing role to The 2 Week Diet Review play in the energy density of food. Our caveman ancestors ate between 77 and 120 grams of fibre each day. Today's estimates are 15 grams per day in the USA and 20 grams in Australia. In countries where 'overweightness' is less than 15 per cent of the population (Kenya, Uganda and Malawi in Africa, for example), fibre consumption is between 60 and 80 grams a day. Fibre-containing foods are filling, as we have stressed. This means that you are less likely to feel hungry in the two-hour period following a meal that contains large amounts of fibre.

Why is this the case? Fibre-containing foods add bulk and weight to the diet, and have shown to have significant, positive effects on weight loss. Fibre-containing foods release energy slowly into the bloodstream, giving the human body longer lasting, more sustained energy release than non-fibre-containing foods. This is beneficial in providing the body with good clean energy throughout the day. The role of fibre-containing foods, however, goes even further.

They interfere with the mixing of foods and digestive enzymes in the intestine in a positive way. Fibrous foods slow fat and carbohydrate absorption into the bloodstream. This is essential for those seeking to lose weight, because the slowing of fat absorption into the bloodstream means that you will feel fuller earlier and will, therefore, eat less food. The longer fat stays in the intestine, the less likely you are to keep eating.
