I love the fiberOne granola bars. They fill you up for breakfast and you can eat them in the car on the way to work. Which is great for a not so morning person like me.

My favorite fiber is flax seeds. I grind them up fresh and put them on just about anything. They are heart friendly and are also great for my hot flashes. One of my favorite things to make is my spinach smoothy. Sounds gross but it is actually yummy. Blend fresh pinapple juice with baby spinach leaves and add some ground flax seeds. Blend it up and enjoy.

Fiber One bars are terrific. The flavors can't be beat. Try new flavors like Apple Struesel and Oats & Strawberries with Almond. They are must-have accessories for your snack drawer at work. At 140 calories, they won't break your daily calorie bank.

fiber foods do really help people trim down. i eat a lot of granola bars and fruits, they just fill you up fast and keep you full longer than that bag of potato chips. a good thing to add though is water, drink water more than all other kinds of drinks, you'll drop weight like crazy.

Eat a small apple before dinner or lunch and you will eat LESS! It really works! I munch on one while I am fixing dinner and by the time we sit down to eat I am already semi-full from the fiber and water that the apple contains. Also, carrots work too, if apples aren't your thing.

I'm also really fond of the Kashi bars... most of them (even the TLC granola bars) are pretty high in fiber, usually 6g or so for 120-180 calories. Plus they are HFC free, artifical stuff free, and taste more "real" than the fiber one bars.

Fiber really is a miraculous thing, and we get so little in our diet, generally. It fills you up faster, keeps you feeling full longer, helps keep your blood sugar steady, helps against insulin resistance, helps remove toxins from the body, etc. So good. And Gnu bars are almost delicious (not as good as raspberries)!

Beware of products that contain artificial sweeteners -- they are not always so obvious. For instance, the "original" Fiber One cereal contains aspartame, the same as NutraSweet or Equal. Look for sugar alcohols (like maltitol, erythritol, etc.), as well - these are broken out under the carbohydrate summary on nutrition info panels. All of these can be upsetting to the digestive tract, and may have other negative effects. For instance, some research demonstrates that artificial sweeteners can cause weight GAIN... yes, gain! http://articles.latimes.com/2008/feb/11/science/sci-dietsoda11

I love fiber rich foods! One trick that I use is ground flax seed. It is high in fiber and protein. I put it in soups, salads, and baked goods.

Trader Joe's has an awesome high fiber cereal! A whopping 9 grams of fiber per 2/3 cup serving. Eat with almond milk and you're good to go, literally! LOL I also love Fiber one cereal. I agree with Caren's comments about Fiber one bars, they contain some not so healthy ingredients.

I love having my fibre one cereal in the morning. Also when I'm cooking or baking, I sprinkle from fibre in the mix. Another thing I do is sprinkle crushed flax seeds. They are high in fibre and great for the heart. It taste great in almost anything and easy to add to a protien shake.

My favorite fiber food of all time - the Apple. Apples are universal and portable. You can quench your sweet tooth with an apple and freshen your breath with an apple. You juggle a few apples and even draw an apple. Apples are cute and fit nicely into your bag or pocket. You can't beat the fiber content of an apple. Very filling, very healthy. I start my day with sliced apples - usually organic Pacific Northwest Fuji apples or Gala. I pour yogurt on top of them and add mango's or berries and sometimes if I'm feeling it, a little granola on top. I love the crunch of an apple, apples make me happy!

I used to be really into eating a healthy diet- almost fanatical- a lot has changed since then, but I am beginning to realize how important it is to keep those habits up. So this has been an inspirational read+ opportunity for me because I love to read so much. I am a firm believer in getting fiber from raw foods like whole grains in bread, bran muffins, nuts, carrots, brocolli, and cauliflower, fruit- apples are my favorite, but almost all of them are helpful fiber sources and of course nutritious wise. Though as with a healthy diet paying attention to portion sizes is important and if you are counting calories, imperative- even healthy foods carry lots of calories. Other good sources of fiber are white or brown rice, popcorn, most cereals, and raisins. My grandma eats prunes and swears by them- if you can stand the taste- well then go for it. Another idea is adding a teaspoon of metamucil in a glass of water at meal time- a friend of mine used to use this method and she says it helps her stay fuller as well. One last natural source of fiber is caffeine- a cup of coffee with each meal is actually good for your health- can help lower risks of diabetes, heart disease, and good for colon health. My husband almost died from colon cancer and so I have become very educated about the importance of a high fiber diet in keeping a healthy colon. Thanks for the opportunity to post my blog.

a while back, i used to put that Fiber Sure powder into EVERYTHING i ate - drank - whatever! You can't taste it when it's mixed into your food/drink, so you're really not putting in a whole lot of pick-and-chose effort to get a fiber-filled diet. my only suggestion is to maybe use a tad less than i did--after a while there it started to upset my stomach [too much fiber!! XD]. other than that, i'd say it's a pretty good product. :]
