    I just switched from Nature Valley Granola Bars to Kashi Autum Wheat cearal as a topping for my morning cup of fruit and low fat cottage cheese. This will now be my go to fiber componet to add to snacks and meals!! So glad I discovered an alternative to the more sugary granola I thought was a good choice.

    I really enjoy kashi and granola treats with my yogurt and fresh fruit. I also started eating kiwis without peeling the skin on a suggestion from my husband to find more fiber in one of my favourite fruits. :)

    Great tip about the popcorn! I had NO IDEA that popcorn is a good source of fiber.

    I have added more fiber to my diet over he past year and as a result I have lost 25 lbs. I made sure that mot things I ate had the fiber content the same as the fat content or higher. It has worked wonderful for me.

    I would definately recommned it to everyone to at least try.

    Hemp hearts are a great source of fiber, added to cooked oatmeal, yogurt or anything you feel like adding it to, like those plain potatoes they want us to try.

    I think it’s a great idea to add flax seed to any kashi item. Topping a kashi cereal with extra flax seed is a great way to get an added nutrition boost. At whole foods, flax seed is typically found in the flour aisle which is where I purchase it. But other stores may have it in different places, just ask around

    I a grocery or health food store, flax seed and oil will usually be in the refridgerated section, usually with dairy or eggs. This is because it can become rancid. You’ll also see the oil is in opaque bottles and the seeds are in foil bags to keep out light, which will spoil them. Flax oil capsules will be with vitamins and supplements, also in black or brown bottles to keep out light.

    i also take flaxseed oil capsules usually 2 x a day- that may help some of you too. I have digestive problems as well, so that – along with a healthy diet- works for me.

    you can buy flax at a health food store or in the organic section of your grocery store.
