Factor in Fiber
Increasing your fiber intake can aid in weight loss. High-fiber foods enhance metabolism because fiber is indigestible. Soluble fiber absorbs water during digestion, keeping you fuller for longer, while insoluble fiber aids in food passage through the digestive system. Foods rich in insoluble fiber include wheat bran, beans, cauliflower, and apples, while soluble fiber can be found in brown rice, oat bran, and artichokes.
