Include Fiber in Your Diet

Fiber has the benefit of having a very low energy expenditure; it also slows down gastric emptying, making absorption in the small intestine slower. For those of us looking to lose weight in the form of body fat, it decreases intestinal absorption, improves blood sugar levels, and promotes a feeling of fullness. If you want to include fiber in your diet, it’s very easy; just make sure to consume cereals like wheat, oats, legumes like lentils, fruits such as oranges and grapefruits, and vegetables like nopales and spinach should not be missing from your plan, and as a bonus, it helps prevent constipation.
