The "Eat More" Way

You can have as much as 30 to 35 grams of fiber every day.

Why try it: You won't feel hungry. "Fiber is the indigestible component of whole grains, fruits, nuts, beans, and vegetables," explains Tanya Zuckerbrot, RD, author of The F-Factor Diet. "Because you can't digest the fiber, it will fill you up on its bulk with no calories."

Action Plan

Keep total calories to 1,400 to 1,600, and get 35 grams of fiber a day from such foods as:

Gnu Foods flavor & fiber bar: 12g fiber, 130 calories, 3g fat
Fiber One cereal (1/2 cup): 14g fiber, 60 calories, 1g fat
Chickpeas (1/2 cup): 5g fiber, 143 calories, 1g fat
Pear (one medium): 4g fiber, 51 calories, 0g fat
Raspberries (1/2 cup): 4g fiber, 32 calories, 1g fat
Baked potato (one small, with skin): 3g fiber, 134 calories, 0g fat
Whole-grain bread (one slice): 2g fiber, 69 calories, 1g fat

DROP 10: In about eight weeks.

The caloric intake is too low and is only meant for people just beginning diet and exercise. This is not for everybody and is counterproductive in the long run.

The calorie intake is too low to maintain for a long period of time. It is scary to lose that much weight so soon unless it is all water.
