Default How to not feel hungry all the time..

I inadvertantly discovered something when I was dieting. Although I
managed to lose down to a very slim and trim 136 pounds which is right
where I should be, but I learned how to control hunger. The secret?
Fiber. Fiber has to be eased in to though. You can't comfortably start
eating 500% of the minimum recommended fiber without suffering
bloating, etc. But you can build up to it very easily.


For breakfast I often have a serving of Wheatena hot cereal and I add 1/3 -
1/2 cup of wheat bran to it. The wheat bran adds loads of fiber and very
few calories but it really bulks up the cereal. You end up with a massive
bowl of the stuff. I add fruit (fresh as much as possible but sometimes I'm
out and used dried), Equal, unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze milk and
cinnamon. It's very filling and yes, it will keep you regular!

Sounds great. I see the bran at the supermarket, but never used it. My
cereal has lots of bran already in it though....corn and wheat bran
mostly. I add blueberries and cranberries to a lot of my cereal. Both
are high fiber and low cal as well, with cranberries only 45 cal per
cup. I use frozen and can add an entire cup right away to oatmeal
right out of the microwave, stir, add 4-5 Equal and eat it without
waiting. The frozen fruit cools the oatmeal and the hot oatmeal thaws
the berries so everything is just right. dkw Oh, yes, another treats I
add to other food...usually green beans is water chestnuts or
mushrooms. Both are very low cal and high fiber and you can eat a huge
bowlful for 100 calories. I heat up the greenbeans and mushrooms and
add a little Smuckers sugar-free syrup to the top. It's pretty filling
and tastes good. dkw
