Everybody wants to lose fat.  No matter if you’re 10 pounds overweight or 200, it’s on everybody’s mind.

If it weren’t there wouldn’t be new infomercials popping up on television every week trying to scam you into buying their cheap piece of plastic or fad diet book.

The truth is…the truth that the fat loss television marketers and diet makers don’t want you to know is that it’s pretty simple to lose fat.  All you have to do is start making minor tweaks to your diet right now and I guarantee you’ll see results within a week.

I’ll give you a very easy tip to follow right now.

Eat more fiber.

If you follow this one nutrition tip, you will lose fat.  It’s impossible to not lose fat if you consume more fiber.

Why?  Well first of all the foods that are loaded with fiber are generally low in calories, which means you’ll consume fewer calories, which means you’ll lose fat.  Foods such as vegetables, beans and whole grains are loaded with fiber and generally low in calories per serving. 

Some fruit is even packed with fiber.  In fact, a medium sized apple has about 4-5 grams of fiber.  Have two of those per day and that’s almost half of your daily fiber goal right there.

Another reason it’s impossible not to lose fat while consuming more fiber is that fiber acts as a “bulker” in your stomach, which means it’ll make you feel full faster.  If you were to think about that last statement, you’d realize that fiber is in fact nature’s appetite suppressant! 

The supplement manufacturers have been trying for years to get you to buy their pills that they say act as an appetite suppressant.  They say they have these magic compounds or magic herbs that trick your brain into believing you’re full.

Well surprise surprise, nature has had its own appetite suppressant all along and it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than the bottles they were trying to sell you.

So if you feel full faster, you won’t eat as much right?  Which means you won’t eat as much right?  Which means you’ll lose fat right?  Bingo!

Start today.  Go to the grocery store this evening and stock up on fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and some whole grains.  Vegetables like romaine lettuce and spinach for salads, broccoli, etc.  Fruits like apples and pears.  Grab some almonds, black beans, white beans and whole grain bread and you are good to go.

Another reason adding more fiber will help you lose weight is that by doing so, you’re most likely going to be replacing some junky snack food for your healthy fiber-rich food.  Doing so will obviously help you lose fat.  It really is that simple.

Just do everybody a favor and don’t try to go from 0 fiber to lots of fiber in a couple days.  Your stomach will revolt and your friends and family won’t want to come near you.  Hopefully you know what I mean.

Start small by adding 1 fruit and/or vegetable to your daily eating plan and build from there.
