[quote=Anonymous]For years I struggled to lose weight.  I’d focus intensely on calorie intake and trying to maintain a deficit in order to shed pounds.  I just never could sustain it because I’d always be starving and it’d blow up my workouts due to lack of energy and due to always being hungry.  Fast forward and I go to the doctor and was told I had high cholesterol.  The natural remedy of course is to consume a lot more foods high in fiber and low in saturated fats.  So I began eating a large amount of fiber and focusing on getting my required grams in without counting calories at all.  Lo and behold I’m melting away pounds.

If you look at foods that contain lots of fiber, yeah, they’re healthier and are naturally low cal, so it makes sense you’d lose weight.  But by focusing on max fiber in take I never find myself hungry anymore.  High fiber foods are just naturally filling even though they’re low in calories. This kind of diet whereby the focus has been on fiber rather than calories has been way more sustainable.  [/quote]
