Fiber and Fat Loss

We all know that fiber is good for cholesterol, regularity, etc.  But fiber can also play a crucial role in fat loss.  It does so in two ways:

1.  Fiber is filling.
Fiber helps you fill satiated (full). 

2.  Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar. 
Fiber slows digestion, giving you more stable blood sugar and energy levels (see also:  Blood Sugar, Insulin, and Fat Loss).  

Some fibrous vegetables (like like Broccoli) ad lots of fiber without adding many calories.  Use these foods to your advantage!
