Eat more fiber to reduce your waist?

A recent study found Latino adolescents who increased their fiber intake reduced the amount of fat around their waists. 

reference: J.N. Davis et al, American Journal of Nutrition, November, 2009

While the authors were cautious about generalising from these results its worth considering how they might apply to the rest of us.  How much fiber are you currently consuming?  It is likely many people could improve their overall diet by increasing their fiber levels.  One of the possible benefits might be a reduction in belt size!

For fiber look to fruit and veges as the best sources.  If you eat an orange rather than have an orange drink you get the fiber as well as the vitamin C!

And, if you’re really interested in reducing your belt size consider getting my book Enjoy Losing Weight.  I reduced my waist measurement by many inches (and enjoyed doing it).  Whats more my waist has remained the same size since.
