[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! I like the idea of adding some sesame seeds and flax seed to my oatmeal.  I tried chia seeds a couple of times and wasn't crazy about the texture, maybe I need to try again with a smaller amount to start.

To the PP griping about 1200 calories - I'm not aiming for 1200.  1400-1500 is about right for what I need.

Lentils are also a great idea. I love lentils, but the rest of my family doesn't, so I'm not in the habit of including them in dinners that we all eat together. I should make a batch on the weekend and use them for my own lunch.

And finally, I appreciate the idea that maybe I'm overthinking this :). I will look for small ways to increase fiber, but not stress over it.

Thanks again, DCUM![/quote]

OP you are not wrong to be thinking about fiber.  For the past year, I've been very focused on improving my overall health and fat loss.  I know there is a lot of advice out there and I take it all with a grain of salt, and a lot of curiosity.

Three months ago I decided to try hitting at least 25g per day and evaluate whether it made a difference in my health or how I feel.  It absolutely does.
All else being equal in my diet/sleep/exercise, the high fiber diet makes me feel generally "lighter" and less bloated, more sustained energy over the day, and my rate of fat loss increased (but only a miniscule amount). [/quote]

Can you share what you’re eating?[/quote]
