Brenda Watson's Fiber 35: Nature's Weight Loss Secret
Brenda WatsonBrenda Watson, N.D., best-selling author and founder of five natural health clinics, shows you how to lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight for life in this program.
Unlike many popular low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets that encourage dieters to adopt unhealthy eating habits, The Fiber35 Diet is a safe and effective lifetime eating program that uses the power of fiber to lose weight, prevent disease, and extend life expectancy.
Scientific research has proven that reducing the amount of calories we eat is the only way to lose weight and stay fit for life, and fiber can help us do both of those things. Research has shown that fiber and fiber-rich foods actually help regulate blood sugar, control hunger, and increase satiety (feeling full), all of which are essential to losing weight and keeping it off.
The Fiber35 Diet is based on getting 35 grams of fiber every day. While it may sound simple, the majority of Americans consume less than half of that number. Too many processed foods and refined sugars have taken the place of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, leaving many people vulnerable to weight gain and poor health. Brenda Watson created The Fiber35 Diet to share with as many people as possible the importance of fiber in our quest to lose weight and achieve optimal health.
