This piece is about fibre, but your should read it anyway, especially if you’re looking for a healthy way to drop a few kilos.
Just last month, data crunchers at Under Armour’s My FitnessPal app examined data from 427,000 weight-losing users who had come within 5 per cent of their goals.
Their food logs looked nearly identical to other users’ in calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates, and they exercised just five minutes more per day than their counterparts.
But the newly slimmer folks ate 29 per cent more fiber.
A study published last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine found similar results: people who simply ate more fibre lost almost as much weight as others who made complicated changes to their diets.
