In a year-long study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, participants who simply increased their fibre intake lost almost as much weight in a year (2.1 kilos) as those who followed the 13 rules in the American Heart Association's diet guidelines (2.7 kilos).

Focusing on eating more rather than less of something made a diet change easier to stick with, said experts, who also found that a single dietary change seemed to set off an effortless chain reaction of healthier choices. They also agreed that fibre's satiety factor and blood sugar-stabilising effects could prevent hunger and cravings.
