Question:

High Fiber Diet?

I've recently hit a plateau in my weight loss attemptsI've heard all great things about eating a diet that's high in fiberSo, I have a few questions:1) How many grams of fiber is considered quot;highquot;?2) Is it possible to have too much fiber , if so, what are the effects?3) If you have done this before, how much weight have you lost what was the time frame? Also, how many grams of fiber were you having a day?Thanks so much for your help!

Answer:

As others have said (except praise seitan, who is incorrect), gelatin is NOT vegetarianIt's made from the bones, skin and connective tissue of animals and is not a part of either a vegetarian or vegan dietWhich means that Rice Krispy Treats aren't vegetarianYou can make your own with Rice Mellow Creme, thoughIt's a vegetarian marshmallow fluff made from brown rice syrupIt tastes just as good:)
Rice Krispies Treats Nigirizushi Ingredients - Two long Rice Krispies Treats - Swedish Fish - Fruit by the Foot - Sour Gummie Worms Directions 1- Cut the treats into 7 pieces eachFeel free to smash up the sides of each for a softer curve like balls of sushi rice 2- Top the first 7 with a Swedish fish and the second 7 with two worms 3- Unwrap a Fruit by the Foot and slice it in half length-wise and then wrap those slices around the gummi/krispy treatFor the wasabi, I made a butter cream frosting and dyed it greenFor the ginger, I used dried mango slicesMy favorites were the Sour Worms/Krispies Treats nigiri and the Butterfinger-topped Twinkie makiI encourage you to take this idea and run with itWhat else can you use to stuff or top these sweet sushi treats?
The average person should be having 30g of fibre per dayFibre is good for weight loss as it has a low glycemic index (GI), this means that it is released into the blood at a slower rate and therefore, makes you feel fuller for longerEating foods high in fibre also make you bowel movements alot healthier and fuller so your body can evacuate all wastesEating a high fibre diet alone will probably not stimulate weight loss as suchIt needs to be encorporated with other things such as exercise and healthy eatingSomething might be high in fibre but also high in sugar which is obviously not good from a weight loss point of viewIdeally, foods should be high in fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals, and low in sugars and trans fats and moderate in carbs and good fatsFollowing a low GI diet is not only very healthy for you but it is also a diet that can be sustained in the long termIf followed religiously people generally loose about 1/2- 1 kg per week - its not much but it is a long term 'lifestyle change'I am sure if you look up low GI diets on the net you will get much more info about the foods you should be eating and avoidingGood Luck!
