Quick Fiber Tips Are you ready to experience all the benefits of fiber? Here are some quick tips for getting the fiber you need. Tip 1: Start Slowly Increasing your fiber intake gradually can help you avoid gas and bloating. A good guide is to add 2-3 grams per day until you reach the amount that's right for you. Tip 2: Drink Plenty of Water As you increase your fiber intake, it's important you do the same with water. It is recommended to drink 6 to 8 cups of water or liquids a day. Tip 3: Begin with Breakfast Your mom was right. Breakfast is a really important meal. Thankfully, there are five delicious All-Bran® cereals that provide as much as 51% of your daily fiber value in just one serving. (Thanks, Mom.) Tip 4: Choose Whole Wheat for Lunch White or wheat? The answer should be easy. Choose fiber-rich whole wheat or whole grain bread and rolls instead of products made with white flour. Also, try whole wheat flour tortillas, pitas and pasta. Tip 5: Grab Some Fiber to Go Adding fiber to your diet doesn't mean adding time to your schedule. Both All-Bran® fiber bars and drink mixes are a great way to get your fiber on the go. Tip 6: Sweeten up Your Snack Time Enjoy seasonal fruits like berries, apples, peaches and pears. Eat more dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, prunes, dates and apricots. Leave the skin and peels on your fruit and vegetables for more fiber. Finally, eat fruit or vegetables, instead of drinking their juice. Tip 7: Invite Fiber to Dinner Cereal isn't just for breakfast anymore. It makes a great ingredient in all kinds of main entrees, like chicken, beef, fish, salad, casseroles and more.

There are all kinds of ways to satisfy your sweet tooth and increase your fiber intake at the same time. Having ice cream? Top it off with a serving of All-Bran® Bran Buds® Cereal.
