High Fiber Foods List

A super helpful list of foods high in fiber

Have you eaten enough high fiber foods today?

If you’re like most 21st century humans, you haven’t.

And that’s a problem if you’re trying to lose weight, because foods high in fiber are essential for weight loss.

The Full Plate Fiber Guide is a free, easy-to-use resource we’ve created to help you discover the foods high in fiber so you can eat more of them and start losing weight.

Why eating more high fiber foods makes losing weight easier

Fiber makes you feel full.

Add fiber to your meals and you’ll eat fewer calories. Consume fewer calories than you burn and you’ll lose weight. It’s that simple.

Most diets fail because they ask you to eat smaller portions of foods instead of changing the kinds of foods you’re eating.

Increase the amount of fiber in your diet and you’ll have less room for the concentrated, high calorie foods that make you overweight.

The key is adding more high fiber foods to what you already eat.

Which high fiber foods are the best for weight loss?

Naturally high fiber foods.

Foods like blueberries, bananas, sweet potatoes and pinto beans.

Adding more apples and carrots to what you already eat will help you lose weight because these foods are naturally high in fiber.

CAUTION: But not all high fiber foods are created equal.

Many food manufacturers have jumped on the high fiber bandwagon, adding fiber to highly processed foods that come in boxes.

We’re not calling these foods bad.

But as a general rule, adding processed high fiber foods to what you eat won’t fill you up or help you lose weight.

How to use this guide

We’ve listed the foods featured in the fiber guide into five categories.

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Grains
  • Beans & Peas
  • *Nuts & Seeds (*Ideal in small amounts)

As you’ll soon see, a high fiber diet can be filled with tons of delicious foods to remember.
