January is National Fiber Focus Month

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Fiber is known to slow digestion and should assist in weight loss. Fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole foods, and legumes have been associated with weight loss, among other health benefits. In addition, fiber-rich foods are known to improve glycemic control, increase the production of hunger-suppressing hormones, reduce the production of hunger hormones, and overall increase satiety.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, in order for a product to be labeled “high fiber, ” it must contain 5 grams or more of dietary fiber per serving. Homestyle Direct has many high fiber meals for you to choose. Our highest fiber meals include the Chicken Enchilada Empanada and the Garbanzo & Kale Sweet Potato Bowl.
