Secret to Extra Weight Loss

From Prevention magazine: Eat more fiber, say researchers at Brigham Young U. In a study of 252 women, those who ate 8 additional grams of total fiber for every 1,000 calories they consumed lost nearly 4 1/2 lbs. every gram decrease in total fiber intake resulted in an average weight gain of more than 1/2 lb. To sneak in those extra grams of filling fiber daily, add a cup of raspberries to your yogurt or cereal, or toss 1/2 c of lentils into your soup or salad.
Eat green leafy veggies whenever possible, also fresh berries, whole grains, etc.

Like your new blog design. We do check out labels for fiber. For Terry at least, if the fiber is a close number to the sugar he can eat it. If the sugar is high and the fiber is low he avoids it.
Sierra and I went on a walk yesterday. You would be proud of me!
