High Fiber Diets Prevent Colon Cancer

I don't know how much research has to be performed and how many studies have to be done to explain in terms that we don't understand....but I think logic dictates that things that are from nature like oats and apples and broccoli - that contain fiber - are going to be good for our intestinal system. 

But apparently that point of "scientific accpetance" has been reached and we can all start changing our diets to include more fiber.  The point of this blog and I would have to believe, that research, is to provide curious minds with more evidence that yes, it is important to have plenty of fiber in your diet.  If you start with an extra fruit and vegetable each day, then you'll know if you had enough fiber before. 

The key to getting enough fiber in your diet is to find a couple of vegetables you like or fruits. Personally, I like salads because you can get more different types of veggies in one healthy meal.  If you're getting enough fiber, you will be 'regular'.  Your body will function more efficiently.  (The Vice Busting Diet covers this: book to be released in early 2006 - get a version of it by using the 26-week online plan!).

I will say that occasionally I will have a glass of metamucil just to be sure I'm getting the fiber I need. But, it's secondary to healthy food.

Avoid Gaining Weight on the Job

Sounds easy enough, doesn't it?

There are some useful tips here when it comes to staying "diet smart" when you're on the job.  There seems to be a big hurdle for most people when it comes to eating during work hours.  Too often it's lunch out with co-workers or grabbing something on the run - both of which normally lead to less than healthy food choices.  What I find to be extremely helpful is having some healthy things to 'graze' on while I'm working - mini carrots are a favorite.  And secondly, keeping a water bottle around all the time is smart because we often mistake our need for water for what we think is a hunger pang. Water should also be the drink that replaces any high-sugary drinks - they will slow you down and pack on the calories!

Lastly, if you don't already have a snack planned for mid-afternoon, just grab an apple or a banana or other fruit and take it to work - the type of snack that doesn't have to be put in the fridge or prepared ... and you'll find your energy levels stay high and your calorie consumption stays low!

If you find that you're hitting those vending machines or fast food outlets too often, you may need to try The Vice-Busting Diet!</a>
