fiber

Question
Hi I am a 38 year old female I weigh about 122..  I am 5'3" and I am trying to get to about 115 or so.... I exercise a couple of times a week and we recently became vegetarians...we still eat fish and seafood and cheese and yogurt products..My question is I tend to eat frequently throughout the day and I know fiber is a good way to make you feel fuller longer, but I cant have fiber because it causes ibs..so I was wondering what else can I eat that would make me feel fuller longer?? I drink protein shakes but have to watch again because they have fiber in them. I also saw Dr Oz say the raspberry keytones are good for losing weight.
Thank you.

Answer
Eggs, which are full of protein, will help you feel fuller longer-a lot longer.

In a study of 42 women at Penn State University, those who ate a big, low-cal salad consumed 12 percent less pasta afterward-even though they were offered as much as they wanted. The secret, say researchers, is the sheer volume of a salad, which makes you feel too full to pig out. Health bonus: A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that people who ate one salad a day with dressing had higher levels of vitamins C and E, folic acid, lycopene, and carotenoids-all disease fighters-than those who didn't add salad to their daily menu.Soup.

Cinnamon. Sprinkle it on microwave oatmeal or whole-grain toast to help cure those mid-afternoon sugar slumps. Research from the U.S.Department of Agriculture found that a little cinnamon can help control post-meal insulin spikes, which make you feel hungry. Health bonus: One USDA study showed that just a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon a day lowered the blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with type 2 diabetes.


Tofu. It seems too light to be filling, but a study at Louisiana State University showed that tofu does the job. Researchers tested it against chicken as a pre-meal appetizer for 42 overweight women-and the participants who had tofu ate less food during the meal. The secret: Tofu is an appetite-quashing protein.
