©2005 General Mills
Most Americans get about half of the recommended 25 grams of fiber each day. With Fiber One® cereal, it’s easier than ever to increase your daily fiber intake. Try using these 10 simple tips to help reach your fiber goals.
Scan for Bran
look for bran whole grain and whole wheat on product packages and ingredient labels. These ingredients can help boost fiber intake.
Grab the Whole Food
Munch on a whole piece of fruit, inplace of drinking a glass of juice. You’ll get the nutrients and fiber.
Savor the Skins
Eating the skin on fruit and vegetables bumps up the fiber. It provides texture and nutrients.
Screen for Beans
replace your typical side dishes with high fiber dried peas and beans, such as kidney, pinto, lentils or black-eyed peas. These fiber-packed legumes make it easier to meet daily fiber goals.
Go Nuts
Jazz up salads, vegetables, snacks and desserts with almonds, sunflower seeds or soy nuts. Nuts and seeds add fiber and fun-to-chew crunch to foods.
Be Berry Wild
Choose raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries to add variety to your cereals. They have twice the fiber than many other fruit.
Bring on the Brown
use brown rice instead of white. Switch to whole-wheat pasta, whole wheat flour, whole wheat breads and whole grain crackers instead of regular white versions.
Skip the Chips
Intead of potato chips, go for low fat popcorn, whole grain pretzels or oven-crisped whole wheat pita triangles.
Drink Up
Water is a healthy beverage choice, especially as you eat the fiber. Your body needs more water to help process added fiber you eat.
Sneak in some Fiber One® - Mix fiber one into your favorite side dishes or top yogurt, salads or oatmeal. Even a small amount of Fiber One makes a difference.
