         if you buy organic, even better. the skins are saturated with pesticides. but that is where the fiber is, in the skin.

    If people have a hard time eating raw vegetables, then try cereal. Many cereals can have up to 100% of the daily requirement.

    If you get a natural suppliment, either tablet or meal form with linseed meal, oatbran, and psyllium husks in it you will have heaps of fibre. There are some good tasteing ones you can add to a smoothie or on your cereal.  Tablets are a good option if you are worried about calorie intake.

    There are many foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables which also provide roughage. Then you have high fiber in pulses, whole grain cereals, rice and pasta.
    
    Added bonuses of eating high fiber foods:
    1. It is satisfying so that you feel full for longer.
    2. It is slowly digested and keeps blood sugars balanced.
    3. Helps weight loss.
    4. Keeps bowel movements regular, and
    5. It is also a low GI food.
    
    Tip: If you are following a high fiber diet make sure you drink lots of water, at least 6 glasses a day. This aids digestion.

    Hi All!  I thought I would add my bit to the forum by sharing with you all a part of my daily diet containing a mix of chopped raw vegetables that I prepare myself.
    
    I chop the raw vegetables into in a 10 litre air tight container then I store in the fridge - I prepare enough for a whole week which ensures my regular visits
    
    I can say that since I introduced raw vegetables into my daily diet, I have been affected by the benefits: people are telling me how well I look for my 43 years - making remarks about how my skin is glowing.  I have lost fat, gained an abundance of energy (20% more), and developed a lean body simply because the raw vegetables fight fat cells and flush out the fat and waste which the body accumulates over time.  So don't give your body chance to store bad fats.
    
    For more advice on burning fat see my web site: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-burn-fat-super-fast
