I am now researching good ways to increase the fiber in my diet going forward. It’s easy to find good lists of high fiber food on the net, thank goodness. A harder thing is to figure out how to add these while trying to lose the lard while trying not to alienate my husband.
So far, I’ve figured out that I can –
- surreptitiously add some things to the stews we like that will increase the “healthy” and won’t change the flavor.
- I can eat a pear, for example, as my mid afternoon snack
- When I make main meal salads, I can add chick peas or beans to MY salad after serving my husband
- I can eat raw veggies, including cauliflower and broccoli and carrots as my snacks on days when I’m not eating fruit
It looks like I will be trying to eat 25 grams of fiber per day. I’ll see if my cronometer.com site will help me track how many grams of fiber I’m eating.
