Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 My biggest advice to everyone regarding weight loss.. is more fiber! lots more. I eat gnu bars- from <http://gnufoods.com/> http://gnufoods. com they have 12 grams of fiber. I eat 1 to 3 a day depending on how busy I am (meaning- did I get a chance to sit down and eat- let's face it us mama's can get busy). They are low calorie 140 calories, 4 grams of fat, 12 grams of fiber. calories and fat depend on flavor, fiber is always the same. Eating three of those GNU bars a day pretty much meets the total recommended amount of sugar daily for a woman by the American Heart Association. It clocks in at 24 grams of sugar, daily recommendation (press release was out today) is 25 grams. I wrote a long post about this with numbers/stats of note just now at: http://www.soulveggie.com Low fat? Three of those bars is 12 grams of fat... almost a whole day's worth of fat or half a days (Ornish/Esselstyn recommend between 14 and 24 grams of fat per day, which is kinda what this list strives for). As to fiber, there are many healthier alternatives: http://www.wehealny.org/healthinfo/dietaryfiber/fibercontentchart.html The fiber is essentially from " cereal. " A bowl of cereal with non-dairy milk and raisins would, imho, be healthier (and as a bonus, less expensive). I prefer to get my fiber from whole grain breads (love my bread machine), pastas, and beans... FYI, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
