How’s fibre going to help weight loss?

Door Erica | juli 25th, 2018

Fibre is going to be your new best friend – it plays a vital role in helping you lose weight. How you may ask? Well, it keeps you full for longer, meaning you aren’t left hungry and wanting seconds.

This is why our Slendier range is full of fibre from the amazing konjac plant – we want you to feel satisfied after eating!

Fibre is the part of plant foods — vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, legumes, and seeds — that your body can’t digest. There are two types of fibre: insoluble, which helps food move through your digestive system, and soluble, which helps zap fat and lower cholesterol.
Thanks to soluble fibre, sugars and fats enter your bloodstream at a slower rate, giving you a steady supply of energy. That’s the stuff you want – soluble fibre. Fibre makes you full, because it swells in your stomach when it absorbs liquid.
How about you combine your favourite Slendier style with other high-fibre foods? These include: fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains (whole oats, brown rice, grainy breads, buckwheat, teff), nuts, and seeds.

You want to aim for about 30 grams of fibre daily to help you lose weight. The benefits don’t end there – eating this recommended amount daily can also help lower your blood pressure, cholesterol and improve your body’s response to insulin.
