NPR's Maria Godoy is a self-proclaimed fiber fanatic. She shares eight ways to add fiber to your diet (munch on popcorn!) and provides a grocery list of high-fiber foods that you can print out at home.
The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-Term Health1. Focus on getting fiber from a variety of plant-based foods
Swap around some of your salad ingredients. For instance, while iceberg lettuce has almost no fiber, subbing in cabbage or kale serves up a bit more. To really ramp up the fiber, toss in an artichoke or some roasted Brussels sprouts . Or top off your greens with some chickpeas .Adding more fiber into your daily habits doesn't have to be hard. Some surprisingly snackable foods are high in fiber, like avocados. Add slices to a sandwich, or grab a side of guac with your tacos.
For example, if you like to eat white bread, try swapping out one serving per week with whole grain bread. The second week, eat two servings. Keep doing that until you've swapped all your servings of white bread to whole grain.As you increase your fiber intake, you may want to jot down how various high-fiber foods affect you. Everyone is different, and some folks might be more sensitive to certain types of fiber than others.
