Abstract in brief

  • Increasing dietary fiber, whether soluble or insoluble, can promote feelings of fullness after meals and reduce hunger, especially when people eat fixed amounts of energy.
  • For those who eat freely, consuming about 14 grams more fiber daily for around two days can lead to roughly 10% reduction in energy intake and weight loss of about 0.19 kg over a few months, with obese individuals experiencing even greater benefits.
  • Since the average American only consumes about 15 grams of fiber daily—half of the recommended 25-30 grams—increasing fiber intake could be an effective strategy for reducing obesity rates.]

@robertlufkinmd Agreed, the easiest way to follow IF is only eat when you're hungry. An evening meal with high fibre content suppresses hunger for the next 16-20 hours. https://t.co/UKr7ng2AYG

One review study found that an additional 14 grams of fiber per day were linked to a 10% decrease in calorie intake and weight loss of around 4.5 pounds (2 kg) over 4 months (Source (https://t.co/M0DjBre3xQ)).
