Fat-Blocker Foods fill you up and block absorption of calories and fat. They will give you the easiest way you'll ever find to shed pound after pound and reach your healthy weight goal.

You can do this not by eating less but actually by eating more of certain foods.Researchers have found dozens of great tasting foods with an amazing combination of benefits. They are delicious and also block the absorption of fat and calories in the other foods you eat.And these same foods leave you feeling full, and totally satisfied for much longer so you eat less. It's a win win situation.

Certain foods that are high in fiber can "block fat" by helping control your fat and sugar intake. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, women should eat at least 20 grams of fiber per day and men should eat at least 30 grams of fiber each day.

Three Main Fiber Food Groups

1.Fruits and Vegetables...love those raspberries

Fruits and vegetables are among the healthiest and best fat-blocking foods on earth and are loaded with fiber. Some of the types of fruits that are highest in fiber and therefore contain the most fat-blocking potential are:

Raspberries, which have 8 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

Pears, which have 6 grams of fiber

Apples, which have 5 grams of fiber

strawberries, with 4 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

Artichokes,with 10 grams of fiber per serving

Peas, with 9 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

Broccoli, with 5 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

Corn, which contains 4 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

2.Grains are among the healthiest fat-blocker foods...oatmeal for breakfast from now on

The fiber in whole grains can help regulate your digestive system and help regulate your blood sugar levels, which prevents you from eating foods high in fat and sugar. The bran and fiber contained in whole grains can make it hard for digestive enzymes to break down starches in your body into glucose, which essentially means fiber can help act as a fat blocker. Choose whole grains:

whole wheat pasta, may have to dress it up with some non fat selsa

bran

barley

oatmeal

brown rice

whole wheat bread

3.Beans and nuts are full of healthy benefits and are some of the best fat blocker foods you can eat. Nuts are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that actually help you maintain a healthy body and can help you lose weight. And of course they are high in fiber:

sunflower seeds contain 4 grams of fiber per serving

almonds 4 grams of fiber per serving

pistachios 4 grams of fiber per serving

pecans 4 grams of fiber per serving.

Legumes( beans) may be the overall best source of fiber there is.

lentils, pinto beans, kidney beans and black beans contain 16 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

lima beans and garbanzo beans contain 14 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving

baked beans contain 10 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving.

Fiber is the dieter's dream. With hundreds of delicious foods high in fiber,it is an incredibly powerful tool for controlling weight.

Count carbs,count fats,count calories but the easiest way to lose weight is to count fiber.
