Question: Are there certain foods that contradict the benefits of fiber rich foods? See below...?

Answer: Here's why: Fiber is what your digestive system throws away. The way it "promotes regularity" is by filling your colon full of undigested fiber making you "full" and urging a bowel movement. For some people (including me) taking fiber has a negative effect due to the body not allowing enough water to stay in your digestive system, thus turning all that fiber into a brick. If this happens to you, first you need to increase your water intake if you haven't already. Second, I'd recommend a warm water enema on a regular basis. Once a week is a good start. Take it slow and try to hold it in for a few minutes. It works for me every time. The reason fiber is promoted so much over enemas is there is a LOT more money in it. Make sense ?

Answer: you're confusing physical hunger with something else...could be underlying irritation or something and you're brain is wired to think that food is going to numb that boredom, irritation (insert negative emotion here) and is tricking you to thinking you're hungry, when in fact, it's not true physical hunger.

Question: What are the Fibre rich foods which can help in increasing the body weihght? I am 38 years old, want to put on some weight to my body. Please advise some easily digestible fibre rich foods.

Answer: To gain weight in a healthy fashion requires eating calorie dense yet nutritious food. An example of a breakfast while on the weight gain diet includes museli, chopped nuts, a banana, milk and fruit juice. Or you could have 2 egg whites with 1 yolk, 3 slices whole grain toast, and 1 glass of fruit juice. A lunch would involve 2-3 rotis, ½ katori rice, 1 serving of dal or whole pulses, 1 serving of curd or any non vegetarian item, 1 serving of vegetable. You are also allowed snacks spaced mid-way between meals, like tea-time in the evening where you could have a fruit milkshake and perhaps a whole grain cheese sandwich. Eat a sensible dinner similar to what I have suggested for lunch. The key to any meal for weight gain is to concentrate on a sensible blend of complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats. When attempting to gain weight, it is often beneficial to eat multiple small meals per day, rather than a few large meals. Especially when coupled with exercise, eating multiple small meals encourages your body to use the calories to build lean tissue (muscle). Drink at least 2 glasses of milk each day. You can replace tea with a glass of milk Eat bananas and 2 fresh anjeer daily for gaining weight, or you can have banana/ chikkoo milkshake which is an easier way of including these fruits in your diet Avoid junk food, it is not a healthy way to gain weight. Drink lots of fruit juices, which will help increase your calorie intake. Keep a record of your calorie intake each day. Try to increase your calorie intake by checking the record. Continue increasing your calorie intake until you experience a weight gain. Increase the proportion of starchy food in your diet like potato, sweet potato, corn etc., which are helpful for weight gain. Include fish, meat and legumes in your diet and increase the proportion of rice that you eat each day, have eggs for breakfast. Make sure that you eat lots of fruits and dry fruits. Include Finger millet (Ragi, Nachni) in your diet, it is a very rich source of iron and calcium, Nachni pudding or custard is good for putting on weight. In order to gain weight some might indulge in fattening fast foods, but this is definitely the wrong route to take if you want to remain healthy. The focus should be on eating nutritious foods from a variety of sources. Some programs recommend expensive weight gain powders but these supplements are not necessary so long as you are eating a well-balanced diet that includes more calories per day than you burn. You should gain half a kilo per week when they appropriately follow the weight gain diet. It is also necessary that you sleep at the right time, avoid overnight studies and work.

Question: wat r d advantages of taking fiber rich foods?

Answer: Increased fiber- keep's you fuller longer than refined food's with no fiber (protein also does this since it takes awhile for the body to digest) Fiber also is known to fix up/ help the digestive system but too much fiber can mess up you're digestive system too! So be careful! I'd suggest taking probiotic products instead like yoghurt for that case. Last benefit known for fiber is increased stool. Make sure you're consuming enough water tho for it to be applicable. Don't over- go 30g of fiber per day! Hope i'v helped, goodluck!

Question: Am I getting too much fiber? I recently started taking Fiber Sure, a very good fiber supplement. I consume about 20 grams of fiber a day (fiber sure combined twice a day with fiber-rich foods), but now i feel bloated and gassy all the time. I feel terrible, and fat. Did i increase my fiber intake too quickly ?

Answer: a supplement is only for those times you are getting low to no fiber in your meals. if you eat fiber rich foods, you won't need it. if supper is a hamburger (beef and white bread buns), you will need it. cut back on the fiber sure and start taking probiotics either in yoghurt or capsules. these good bacteria help with digestion and lessen bloat. happy eating!
