" Switching to a high-fiber diet can be like taking a magic weight-loss pill. But how exactly does fiber work?  It&amp;#039;s filling. It swells a little in the stomach, quelling hunger. So, a 100-calorie portion of Kellogg&amp;#039;s All-Bran (18 g fiber) will make you feel a lot fuller than a 100-calorie portion of Kellogg&amp;#039;s Corn Flakes (1 g fiber).  It lowers blood sugar. Many high-fiber foods (think oatmeal) help moderate your blood sugar level and keep your insulin level low. Low insulin has been linked to lower body fat and lower risk of diabetes.  It flushes out fat. Some types of fiber, particularly those in fruits and vegetables, can sweep out fat before the body absorbs it.  It&amp;#039;s low-cal. Pure fiber itself has virtually no calories. Your body can&amp;#039;t break it down, so it runs right through your digestive system, providing only bulk. That&amp;#039;s why high-fiber foods are usually lower in calories than low-fiber foods. For example, a cup of apple juice has no fiber and 117 calories; a cup of sliced, unpeeled apple has 3.4 g fiber and 74 calories.  High-fiber foods: Fruits, vegetables, legumes, brans, breads, cereals, pasta, and starchy foods made with whole grains. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
