Health experts all the over the world have been talking about the benefits of increasing the fiber content in the diet to reduce body weight. More fiber now means more weight loss.
Since humans lack a specific enzyme which they are able to use fiber as a source of energy. As a result of this, your body would be considering a high dose of fiber equivalent to a calorie-dense diet and it would be utilizing the fiber content in the same way.
Adding fiber to your diet helps enhance the detoxification capabilities of your digestive system, helping you to reach your weight-loss goals. Ideally you should consume at least 20-35 grams of fiber each day, which most people are not able to do so. Also, that much fiber can cause constipation and bloating, so drink a sufficient amount of water to counter these effects.
Each serving of INVIGOR8 provides 6 grams of fiber, and by adding different kinds of berries like raspberries, strawberries or blueberries, you can amp up the fiber even further. Whole grains, whole wheat bread and whole rice are also good sources of fiber. Also, INVIGOR8 meal replacement shakes contain chicory root extracts. This healthy and beneficial fiber is good for weight loss and will keep you feeling fuller for hours.
When you increase your intake of fiber, do it slowly; over time you will gradually lose weight.
The best thing about fiber is that it makes you feel full without causing weight gain. Most of the fiber passes through your body but keeps you from feeling hungry between meals while delivering a steady energy boost for your workout routine.
