Even if you don't have an overweight problem, you need to manage your weight on a daily basis lest it gets out of control. And, the best and safest way to do it is to introduce high fiber foods in your daily diet. If you do have a weight problem, you must not look for short cuts or quick-fix remedies, and avoid even thinking of things like gastric bypass, or tummy tuck surgery which can lead to sepsis or scarring

According to 2006 statistics, nearly 200,000 bariatric procedures were done in the United States alone. Doctors will tell you that these extreme measures should be taken as a life saving choice, in order to control increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. These measures should be reserved for individuals suffering from morbid obesity.

It is common sense to exhaust all forms of safe weight loss measures before seeking an invasive solution. The truth is that weight problems occur when you are doing something wrong in your lifestyle. So, it is best to correct that and see the effect. You will realize that mild problems of excess weight can be corrected by a commitment to simple changes in diet and lifestyle.

No matter which method you choose, you must consult your doctor and take his advice on your proposed diet. A dietitian or nutritionist will evaluate what may be needed to achieve the greatest success on your program. A smart diet, moderate exercise, and the use of safe weight loss aides are undoubtedly the safest way to lose weight.

A smart diet includes high fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Fiber is well known for its benefits to the cardiovascular system. Fiber stimulates a hormone called CCK, which addresses the appetite; it gives you the feeling of fullness so that you automatically eat less and reduce weight. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. The water-soluble type of fiber provides the greatest benefit for weight loss.

Soluble fiber is found in foods such as fruit pectin, oats, and acacia. As it dissolves in water, it forms a gel by swelling and absorbing water soluble materials such as cholesterol. Then it traps them and escorts them out of the colon. According to recent studies every gram of this soluble fiber flushes out seven calories.
It was Audrey Eyton who first recommended high fiber foods for natural weight loss in her book The F-Plan Diet, in the early 1980s. Now, a well known digestive care nutritionist Brenda Watson calls this "The Fiber Flush Effect,' in her new book, The Fiber35 Diet. She says that as you increase your consumption of fiber, you naturally eliminate extra calories in your stool.

The daily consumption of 20-35 grams of fiber is recommended by the National Institutes of Health. It is seen that majority of Americans don't even consume half of that. The daily intake of 35 grams of fiber has the potential of eliminating 245 calories per day, or 7595 calories per month! This means you can lose 2 pounds of weight in a month because you need a deficit of 3,500 calories for a one pound weight loss. This is a safe natural weight loss option, which is neither invasive nor extreme.

Therefore, it is best to try the natural way of losing weight before you think of drastic measures such as surgery
