Hmmm, I think I've had so much fiber in my diet this summer from the garden I 
wound up losing 45# over the last 4 months....

Subject: [Homestead] Fiber

As you all know, I've been trying to get healthy now for a few years.  I'm 
making progress, but it is slow.
I've been keeping a food journal for the last few months to monitor what I 
eat, 
and a few months ago I realized that I don't get enough fiber.  I was only 
getting 15g or so a day instead of the 28-35g recommended.  I've increased my 
intake of veggies like broccoli and cauliflower-I love roasted 
cauliflower-it's 
better than popcorn!  Recently, I tried the Fiber One cereal again and this 
time 
I liked it.  I had tried it years ago, but that was before I tried to get 
healthy and then I preferred different cereals.  Anyway, 1/2 cup of cereal 
provides 14g of fiber, and that's half a day's allotment!    I've started 
cooking with this cereal, too, using the cereal as a breading for fish and 
chicken, as a filler in meatballs and meatloaf, as a salad topper instead of 
croutons, and with sweet desserts like peach cobbler.  I just thought I would 
pass on this little 'tip' that I am such a latecomer to learn.

I was wondering if anyone else does something unusual to increase the amount 
of 
fiber in their diet.

I've run out, so I looked it up and it said that each adult serving (2
cookies/wafers) is about 6 grams.  Hmmmm. I thought it was more than that. I
do end up eating 2 packages a day for best results.
