Book Review: The Fiber-Factor Diet
Summary: 4 Stars
"The absence of fiber in American's diets is a major risk factor for weight gain." ~ pg. 5
Tanya Zuckerbrot is a board-certified dietitian with a master's degree in nutrition and food studies. She has an answer for everything and that answer is FIBER. This book is not just about losing weight it is also good for anyone struggling with diabetes or high blood pressure.
If you love to eat out, then there is a special section on making the best food choices while at a Greek, Indian, Italian and Mexican restaurant. If you love to cook, one third of the book is recipes. You may want to try:
Strawberry Yogurt Shake
Tandoori Chicken
Classic Steak House Filet Mignon
Grilled Fruit Kebabs
Moroccan Lentil Soup
Turkey Chili
For recipes with pasta, the author uses multigrain versions. When making Macaroni and Cheese you get five grams of fiber per serving. Raspberries, dried figs, dried apricots, blueberries and pears also have a lot of fiber. So when you think "fiber" don't automatically think "dry hard to swallow cereal." This book is filled with delicious ideas.
Through reading this book you can find out how many calories you should be consuming in a day to lose weight or to maintain weight. You may also start thinking differently about salads as they don't have as much fiber as I originally thought they did. It is more what you add to the lettuce that counts, for example adding beans and red bell peppers helps with the fiber content. It was surprising to learn that you'd need to eat eight apples to get the recommended amount of fiber in one day. Of course that is not something you want to do but shows how much fiber is lacking in the daily diet of most Americans. This book also explains why it is a bad idea to skip meals.
The best way to use this book is to type up a basic menu for one day in one of three columns. I'd suggest the one recommended in Make the Connection: Ten Steps to a Better Body and a Better Life. Put his suggestions in the second column and then put in all the variations for the diet in the third column. This way you can see what you are eating for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks (put those words in the first column so every item has a row of its own). For instance if you look at the breakfast section you will see fruit as an option. Type out all the fruit options that are high in fiber in the third column. As you read through the book make a note of anything that looks good and is high in fiber. This really helped me to figure out what I wanted to eat for a day and makes shopping much easier.
