FIBER THIN
How much dietary fiber should you consume each day?
About 20 - 30 grams.
Dietary fiber will also help a dieter shed pounds, creating a feeling of fullness which leaves the dieter satisfied for hours to come.
Fiber is an excellent tool in keeping hunger under control, as well as keeping the digestive system up and moving. Or - should that be down and moving?
The following chart details some spiffy sources for daily dietary fiber.
