Fiber.


Wasn't fibre ever the basis of a popular diet where you live? One of the
diets that got a lot of publicity in UK in the 80s/90s was Audrey Eyton's F
plan, where the F is for fibre. Her regimen included an apple and orange
per day, two bowls of her recipe for a mixture of dried fruits, bran
breakfast cereals with bran, and eating a target amount of fibre per day.
While I don't do the breakfast mix any more because I never did like it
much, high fibre is the basis of my diet, together with low fat and low
calories I tend to eat a lot of fruit and salad because I can just grab and
eat immediately without cooking, so that they are convenient for keeping me
going during the day at work. I eat vegetables as part of planned meals, so
no more than I did before changing my way of eating; however since I'm a
vegetarian I probably eat a lot more vegetables than many other people.

Not that I recall, but I sure could have missed The Fiber Diet or
whatever they called it. You know I have looked at fiber supplements
and even bran, metamucil, etc. before, but I was kinda confused about
why there were calories listed for it. If it's fiber there shouldn't
be calories. Then I figured out that it has other stuff in it, so
there will be a few calories in the product. Then the metamucil fiber
was a little confusing because I thought it was a laxative, so I
voided...make that avoided it. What turned me on to fiber was the
Fiber One cereal (original) with only 60 cal per half cup. It's
artificially sweetened with Aspartame. It really tasted good. Then I
noticed the light breads like Nature's Own Light uses fiber to reduce
the calories, so I started to get the picture....I think. Anyway, I
was already eating pretty high fiber BEFORE the Fiber One...of which I
have probably 1.5 cups per day, puffed whole wheat, oatmeal, plus I am
also vegetarian. I'm sure I don't need to actively seek out
fiber...however, what is important to me, being the glutton that I
am...make that reformed glutton, is that I get lots and lots of food.
Voila, fiber. dkw
