Fiber can help you lose weight

People who add fiber to their diets lose more weight than those who don't.

Fiber requires extra chewing and slows the absorption of nutrients in your gut so your body is tricked into thinking you've eaten enough

Some fibers may also stimulate CCK, an appetite-suppressing hormone in the gut.

Eat sensibly, choose produce, legumes, and whole grains. Foods such as apples, oatmeal are recommended.
