'Magical' Fiber

Recently I read about a study which claimed that people who added more fiber to their diets -- without changing anything else -- lost almost as much weight as people who followed a diet recommended by the American Heart Association. Now if you've read Ketones Aren't From Motown you know what I think about the AHA's dietary recommendations…and that I feel that

Fiber is almost 'magical'!  

Fiber allows us to eat more carbs and aides our digestive system to help 'move' things along through our intestines -  a true benefit for anyone who has ever experienced constipation. But fiber does more than just keeps us regular. The rough stuff can also help lower cholesterol, and may even help us live longer. While in reality fiber has no real magical fat-burning properties, it does help us feel full which keeps us from overeating. Fiber makes us full because it swells in our stomach when it absorbs liquid.
I can hear you saying to yourself, "How can I get my hands on some fiber?!" You'll find the most bang for your buck in nuts and beans, and in the skin, seeds, and membranes of your fruits and veggies. Fiber is the part of plant foods — vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, legumes, and seeds — that your body can't digest. It moves quickly through your system and, as an added benefit it doesn't cause your blood sugar to rise as other carbs do. So, rather than scooping grapefruit out with a spoon, try peeling it like an orange and eating it. Don't peel your apples and peaches or try eating a kiwi whole -skin on- for more fiber! If that sounds a little too fuzzy for your taste buds try eating berries like raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. Whole berries are some of the best sources of fiber.
One more thing to keep in mind is that there are actually two types of fiber: Insoluble and Soluble. Insoluble fiber helps food pass through your digestive system. Soluble fiber helps eliminate fat and lower cholesterol. It attaches to cholesterol particles and takes them out of the body, as well as causing sugar and fat to enter your bloodstream at a slower rate, giving you a steady supply of energy. Sounds pretty magical to me!  If you want to incorporate more fiber into your Ketone Friendly diet try a "Fat Shake" I found on one of my resource blogs written by Peter Attia:

“Fat Shake”
In a blender: 8 oz heavy whipping cream, 8 oz sugar-free almond milk; 25 gm sugar-free hydrolyzed whey protein or other low carb protein powder, 2-3 frozen strawberries)
One last thing: Women should try to eat 25 grams of fiber a day, and men should try for 38 grams.
