Re: Bread & Fiber question

[Guest guest]

I like Kellogg's All Bran or Bran Buds. A serving has 24g of carbs but over half

of them (13g) are fiber. Most of it is insoluble so it's not going to have any

big impact on your blood sugar or your fat cells. Sometimes I'll have a serving

of All Bran with a protein shake for breakfast. Then I bump up the fiber the

rest of the day with big salads, frozen berries in my shakes, apples, black

beans, celery sticks. It's not hard to get enough fiber. Just use a high-fiber

cereal once in a while and make a point of eating a lot of crunchy stuff

throughout the day. You could always take a fiber supplement if feel like you're

still not getting enough.

Bread & Fiber question

I'd like some feedback from you all. For myself, I KNOW that bread/pasta are

evil

things. I am convinced they slow down my efforts, and if I have more than an

occasional smidgen of these I will get boated and feel like yuk. So I pretty

much

avoid bread stuff when I can and only have an occasonal piece of whole wheat

toast

or something, and not every day. So my question is, how do you get enough

fiber? I

keep reading how much faster fat loss can be if you can get 30 to 35 grams of

fiber

daily, but honestly, I don't know how you manage that when you are going easy

on

the grains. Any suggestions?

Dont think just bread ...

1/2 cup of peas = 9 grams fiber

One medium baked potato = 5 grams fiber

3/4 cup oatmeal = 7 grams fiber

3/4 cup broccoli = 7 grams of fiber

I have found a wonderful gadget for making homemade bread. I had wanted

a bread machine for years, but would never buy one because then I knew

that I would eat what I made. Well, I came across this bread machine by

West Bend called the Just For Dinner Breadmaker. You can find it at

Amazon.com. That way I don't have all this wonderful bread sitting

around tempting me. By making my own bread I can control the sodium

content, there are no preservatives, I use only egg whites or egg

substitutes and I can add extra bran fiber if I want or whatever. I

find that I don't need all the BUTTER I used to put on regular breads

because you just can't beat the taste of homemade fresh from the oven

bread (or even homemade day after bread tee-hee) I use only 100% Whole

Wheat (red or white) flour from King Arthur's Flour Company

www.kingarthurflour.com <http://www.kingarthurflour.com/> . They also

have a lot of other types of flour to use. I also use this flour to

make my own pasta, where I can, again, control what is in it. I can

make as small a batch as I need. I know I can't have bread and pasta

everyday, but this way I can have a little once a week or so (or on my

free day) that isn't all the processed junk. Hope this is of help to

someone..just my two cents worth. Good Luck to Everyone starting

Challenges this weekend!! I'm starting tomorrow!!

Breads and pasta really do not have a large amount of fiber in

them. Check the labels, the most your going to see is 8 per

serving. Compare that to the amount in an apple. Back in the '80s

I was one the fiber diet, you didn't calories you counted fiber. An

apple and an orange was mandatory every day. You got about 20 grams

of fiber just from that. You can also get a lot of fiber from your

veggies, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots.

I love a chopped apple in one cup cottage cheese with one tsp peanut

butter. YUM.
