Fibre flattens belly?

Question
Hi
I have a friend that went to a personal trainer/nutritionist for advice.
One of the things that struck me was she was told to eat more fibre, especially at breakfast, to get a flatter stomach.
I have cut back on my calories and am eating less fat more 'good' carbs, etc, but cant get the belly to go down. Its not really fat kind of bloated.
If I switched to a bowel of bran(instead of my usual whole wheat toast) for breakfast would that help, and why?
BTW I was tested for celiac I dont have it.
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Van,

Fiber aids weight loss because it stays in the stomach for a long time to give us satiety and yet, the stomach can't digest them; so some of it will leave our body without contributing calories to the body.

I would suggest you to eat oatmeal (add fruits if you like) because you will feel fuller with less calories. A bowl of bran or whole wheat toast is also a good choice because they do contain fiber.

Foods that are high in soluble & insoluble fiber and resistant starch keep you full while contributing very little calories to your body. This is a video where I explain about the benefit of resistant starch. I hope you enjoy it.
