New Study 👉

Healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of 3 diets:

▪️ High fiber from intact foods, like peas and carrots (~47 grams/day)

▪️ High fiber from mashed or blended foods (~47 grams/day)

▪️ Low fiber from processed foods (12.6 grams/day)

Participants on either of the high-fiber diets reported less hunger 2 hours after eating than those on the low-fiber diet.

Both high-fiber diets also triggered the release of PYY, an appetite-suppressing hormone produced in the gut.

The good news is that it didn’t matter if those high-fiber foods were mashed and blended or in their whole state!

Some ways to sneak in more fiber:

🥣 Sprinkle chia seeds or ground flax over cereal, yogurt, or salads

🍎 Leave the skins on fruits & vegetables

🥦 Include veggies with every meal

🥜 Snack on fruit and nuts

More fiber can support gut health, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, weight management, and more. And this study shows more evidence that it can keep you feeling full longer.
