Not eating enough fiber

Your weight loss efforts, as well as your overall health, may be affected by a low fiber diet. According to research, viscous fiber, a type of soluble fiber, reduces hunger by forming a gel that stores water. This gel makes you feel full by moving slowly through your digestive tract.

The fiber of any kind, according to research, may help you lose weight. However, even without a calorie-restricted diet, a review of some research indicated that viscous fiber reduced weight and waist circumference. While further study is needed, fiber appears to interact with gut microbes, resulting in the production of hormones that make you feel full. Fiber may also help with digestion and lessen the risk of some chronic diseases.
