Young people aren’t dying from protein deficiencies
They’re dying from fiber deficiencies
Fiber is key to:
• Protecting against colon cancer
• Fighting heart disease
• Boosting fat loss
Yet 95% of people don’t get enough.
Here are high-fiber foods you need:🧵
1. Chai seeds
Chia Seeds – 15g per ounce
Add 1–2 tbsp to smoothies, yogurt, or overnight oats.
These tiny seeds swell in liquid, keeping you full, improving digestion, and stabilizing blood sugar.
A simple way to start your day with a fiber boost.
2. Lentils – 15g per cup
Toss them into soups, stews, curries, or salads.
Lentils are rich in fiber, protein, and minerals, making them a double win for satiety, muscle building, and fat loss.
3. Raspberries – 8g per cup
Snack on them fresh, add to Greek yogurt, or blend into smoothies.
Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber—one of the best fruits for gut health and weight control.
4. Avocados – 10g each
Slice onto toast, add to salads, or mash into guacamole.
Packed with healthy fats and fiber, avocados regulate appetite and boost nutrient absorption.
5. Oats – 4g per ½ cup (dry)
Make overnight oats, hot oatmeal, or fiber-rich muffins.
Steel-cut oats pack more fiber than instant and help lower cholesterol while providing steady energy.
6. Black Beans – 15g per cup
Perfect for tacos, salads, or rice bowls.
High in fiber and plant protein, they improve digestion and stabilize blood sugar.
Rinse canned beans to cut sodium.
7. Apples (with skin) – 4g each
Eat raw as a snack or slice into oatmeal or salads.
Most fiber is in the skin—don’t peel it.
Apples boost gut health and control cravings.
8. Quinoa – 5g per cup (cooked)
Use as a rice alternative or grain bowl base.
It’s a complete protein plus fiber, ideal for balanced, high-energy meals.
9. Broccoli – 5g per cup
Steam, roast, or add to stir-fries and omelets.
Low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
10/
Flaxseeds – 3g per tablespoon
Blend ground flax into smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
Ground is key—whole seeds pass undigested.
Boosts digestion, gut health, and skin.
Final Takeaway:
Fiber isn’t boring.
Eat a mix of these daily to improve:
• Digestion
• Energy
• Fat loss
Your gut bacteria will thank you—and so will your waistline.
