Can eating a lot of fiber help you loose more weight?TYIA!
It can help, it expands in your stomach giving you a feeling of being full faster and longer than other foods and it's naturally found in low calorie foodsBut before you go taking fiber supplements, you can get too much fiberIt can cause a nutrient deficiency and sometimes block the absorption of calciumYou shouldn't reach your upper limit of fiber from foods thoughUsually a fiber toxicity is found from those taking supplementsEdit - I meant to tell you where it's naturally foundWhole grains (whole wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta), dark green veggies, and the skins of most fruits (apples, the white part of an orange.a potato isn't a fruit but the skin of a potato)These are all high-fiber, low cal foods that will definitely aid in weight loss.
A camping list is a great thing to haveThere are many times that I have forgotten something very importantJust make a list of things that you would like to havePut what clothes you want, make sure they are clothes you are not afraid to get dirty,(I've been camping with people who sat in the tent the whole weekend because all the clothes they brought were fancy and didn't want to get dirty) your tent, First aid kit, air mattress, all the food, camp chairs, cooking utensils, plates, knives and forks, something to do if it is raining like a deck of cards, a Frisbee or ball, something to start a fire with, a little backpack if you plan to do a little hiking, something to carry water in, whether it be a 2 litre bottle or a 10 litre jug, sleeping bag, a stove, a stereo (if not using the car), a book to readWhat ever you feel is importantThe thing with car camping is the more you have the more comfortable it is As for food, bring trail mix, nuts and dried fruits, hot dogs are probably the easiest thing to cook on the fire and marshmallows, and bags of chips, just remember to keep any meat or dairy products coolHave fun out there I can't wait until May long.
I think Lordgeek already mentioned tons of things you should bring camping with you.so I just want to remind youDon't ever go into the wild without these essential stuffs: 1knife (pocket knife or survival kife, etc) 2matches and lighter (keep it in a ziplock) to start fire 3first aid kit and other personal medication 4water bottle or other water container that easy to carry when hike 5flash light (not too big or too heavy) especially point 1 and 2, you don't want to go out there without them :) Have fun and take care.
