Want to lose weight? Try increasing your daily fiber intake in the form of nutrient-rich high-fiber foods. Why fiber? Recent research in the Journal of Nutrition suggests eating more fiber as a way to prevent weight gain or even encourage weight loss.

Try it for yourself. If you’re consuming 2,000 calories per day, aim to increase your fiber by 16 grams.
