Ever wonder why two people can eat the same amount of food while one gains weight and the other stays slim?  Well, check this out:

A recent study from the American Dietetic Association revealed that even though two groups of individuals ate the same amount of calories, individuals who ate 30% more of one particular nutrient sported low levels of body fat while the other group was clinically overweight and/or obese. Ouch! 

What's this magical nutrient? Well, it's found in foods like: 

Apples
Pears
Berries
Beans
Avocado
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice
Artichokes
Sprouted Grain Bread
Oatmeal
Quinoa
Peas
Brocolli 

And a ton of other foods... 

The nutrient is fiber, and I highly suggest getting your fair share (~30 grams a day) as it packs a ton of benefits like: 

**slowing digestion and gastric emptying to support stable blood sugar levels and decreased insulin output (this means more fat loss) 

**signaling the release of hunger-crushing hormones supporting feelings of fullness and appetite control 

**promoting weight control independent of calorie intake

Get some fiber in your life!
