fiber. I knew of course that a diet high in fiber is a good thing, but I never knew it actually helps your body block fat absorption??? Can anyone else verify that? That is a good thing to know!

Yes and No. There is a difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber (like oatmeal) binds with fatty acids and prolongs stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly. On the other hand, insoluble fiber (like bran and wheat) helps to move bulk through the intestines. So you have to balance between soluble and insoluble fiber. Eat too much insoluble fiber and you'll find yourself in the restroom more than usual. But, the soluble fiber should help to reduce your cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. Hope this helps!

It helps you absorb fat. Fibre can actually help you absorb good fats from avacodo, fish, or seeds.
