Not Eating Enough Fibre? Here's How To Tell
You Don't Feel Full For Long

Here’s the thing about food with high amounts of fibre, they load you up and make you feel full for longer. Now, we’re not just talking about vegetables, we’re talking about foods like lentils, nuts and wholegrain rice.

These foods all contain high amounts of fibre that have you chewing more while eating and loading you up with the necessary nutrients. As a result, you won’t be overeating as much and when you’re taking so much more time to chew your food, your stomach has more time to send signals to your brain to tell you that you are full so you don’t over eat.

Ever noticed how easy it is to down a bowl of fries but it takes twice the effort to eat a bowl of broccoli? 

That’s because fries are simple carbohydrates that are a lot easier to chew and because of that, you can easily rush through more of it than you initially planned to. 

When you’re eating a high-fibre diet, you’re less likely to over eat and you’re more mindful of how much you’re actually eating. 

You Have Digestive Problems

The nerves and muscles around the large intestine are extra sensitive and when it get too much or too little of a certain nutrient, it can result in a whole host of different digestive problems. 

One of them is diarrhea.
