Did you know that adding more fiber to your HCG diet can help with weight loss?
It’s true. This natural nutrient has been shown in studies to reduce appetite while promoting feelings of fullness after eating smaller meals. Plus, it helps keep things moving – having healthy bowel movements should never feel like a chore again.
Many HCG dieters are surprised to learn that they need to eat more fiber on this plan since it is low-calorie. In this blog post, we will discuss 4 reasons why eating a lot of fiber is important for weight loss.
Reason #1
Fiber helps with weight loss even if you don’t make any changes to your diet. It is super filling and keeps you full longer, which can help decrease food intake. The body digests fiber more slowly than simple carbohydrates. Eating fiber while on this plan will make it easier for you to stick with the plan, because high-fiber foods are filling and satisfying.
Reason #2
Fiber is not just great for controlling your appetite and weight-it has lots of other health benefits as well. It’s heart-healthy, good for your gut, reduces your risk of diabetes and cancer, and helps you poop regularly. Fiber is good for your digestive system. It makes it easier for the HCG hormone to bind with receptors in the stomach, which increases HCG’s ability to break down fat cells.
Reason #3
The high levels of soluble fiber found in vegetables make them a great source of detoxification agents that remove unwanted substances from your system.
Reason #4
Fiber also plays an important role in regulating insulin levels which means it could decrease risk factors associated with diabetes or other metabolic disorders. Your body digests fiber differently from refined carbohydrates, such as white flour. Some fiber simply passes through your intestinal tract undigestible. As a result, fiber-rich foods are less likely to raise blood sugar levels.
The fiber in your diet doesn’t require insulin [to digest], so it isn’t counted as part of your carbohydrates. As a result, when reading labels and budgeting your daily calories, you can subtract half the fiber grams from that total.
Key point:
The key to getting optimal health benefits and more weight loss from doing the HCG diet is to make sure you are adding more fiber to your diet. It’s one of the most important things in life. Fiber can help you feel full, keep blood sugar levels stable and aid with feelings of fatigue.
If you have been wondering how to increase your fiber intake, no worries because there are so many ways to add more fiber into your day-to-day life- from eating whole grains like brown rice to adding more fruits into your diet. This way, not only will you be able to stay full longer with fewer calories, but also get other benefits from eating an increased amount of fiber every day!
