Tips for adding fiber to your diet Tips for adding fiber to your diet
 		Save Tip

* Take it slow, and don't forget to hydrate. Increase fiber gradually while also increasing water consumption to prevent excess gas and bloating. Without adequate hydration, fiber can actually aggravate rather than alleviate constipation.
* Pick whole grain foods with fiber instead of refined carbohydrates. Try the new whole grain products in your local store; the whole grain pasta is pretty good.
* Begin your day with a fiber boost. Choose breakfast cereals with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
* Pick high-fiber snacks when the midday munchies hit. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat and low-fiber vending machine options.
* Load up on beans. Eat at least one serving a day.
* Bake your own high-fiber goodies. Get creative and try some whole grain flours in your recipes.
