Vegetable Fiber
Jen Kersey (Season 2) isn't afraid to say she has a problem. Yes, it's true. She can't put down the fiber. Morning, noon, and night, she's snacking away on foods that fill up her stomach and help keep the pounds off, post-show. Sitting down for a chat, she confessed that her biggest secret to losing weight was, "vegetables, vegetables, and vegetables." But she didn't stop there. "Make your sandwiches with high-fiber bread," she says. "It contains about 45 calories a slice. That way, you can have two slices of bread." When it comes to treats, Jen goes for the fruity fiber. "If you have a sweet tooth, eat fresh pineapple. Its sweetness is unbelievable!" So next time, you're shopping, do it Jen's way. Fill your cart with foods that can keep you on the weight-loss track: fruits, vegetable, and multi-grains. But remember, we warned you. Too much of a good thing…is a good thing.
