How does fiber assist weight loss?

i keep hearing that a high fiber diet can lead to weight lossis this true? why or why not is this true?

Answer:

Here in Philadelphia, we can put glass, plastic, paper, and cardboard, etcin the same recycling bin, so I do it nowBefore, when you had to seperate all that junk, I rarely bothered.

where I live we can only recycle 12 plastic, so most stuff goes in the garbage :( I do recycle paper and food cartons tho toobottles and cans just clap your hands!

i recycle newspaper and other papers, aluminum cans, type 1 + 2 plastics.i get no money though :(

I recycle all paper,all recycle able plastic,all tin cans and I save all aluminum cans for an older gentleman who goes around collecting it for the money.

there is a direct correlation between the fiber intake resting insulin levelsinsulin is a storage hormone and controlling insulin is the key to fat lossthere is also a direct correlation between the glycemic index and glycemic load of the carbohydrates consumed and the body weight, fat mass and waist circumference in womenwhich means if you are going to consume carbs they must be high in fiber.
