The ingredient we don’t talk about enough: fiber. We know we should cook more at home and eat less processed food, but how do we get enough fiber in our diet? As a registered dietitian, I recommend eating between 25-40 grams of fiber every single day.
Fiber is found in plant-based foods, so that includes beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruit and whole grains. By incorporating some of these foods at every single meal, you’ll stay full longer and have fewer cravings. An easy way to start is by adding 2 cups of vegetables to 2 meals a day. And don’t skip the carbohydrates! Just make sure that they’re whole-grain or whole-food based.
