There are some people who needs a lot of fiber in their body. They are people who are having a hard time digesting the food they eat, in which case, they need fiber rich food. Fiber also maintains the smoothness of your intestinal walls therefore preventing constipation and other stomach related problems. Fiber is also good for loosing weight because it makes you feel full thus, making you feel not hungry for longer period.

Breakfast

• Corn bran cereals, roasted almonds, non-fat milks, wheat bread
Lunch
• Smoked/Raw/Salad fish or sushi, bran flakes, citrus fruits, carrot juice
Dinner
• Beef with whole wheat pasta, spinach, fruits, muffins
Snacks
• Dried apricots, prunes or raisins, berries and nuts.

The plan is best for you:

• If you are below the 25 grams fiber consumption per day.
• If you are having constant intestinal problems.
• If you want to gain the weight loss effects of fiber rich foods.

The plan is not good for you:

• If you are not fond of eating fruits and vegetables.
• If you want frequent but smaller meals.
• If you are looking for a low carbohydrate plan. (Most fiber rich foods are also high in carbo)

This plan will help you achieve the recommended 25 grams of fiber a day. The dietary fiber you will be gaining from this plan is very effective in maintaining your good health and also good for your diet and weight loosing plans.
