Foods to Avoid
Avoid food products made with processed grains, such as white flour or white rice, as they contain minimal fiber content.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, as opposed to drinking fruit and vegetable juices, since fiber is removed during the juicing process.
Nonfood Factors
Be sure to increase your fluids as you increase your fiber.
Is This Diet Vegetarian-Friendly?
Yes.
Eating Out
Start with a vegetable salad with nuts or other vegetable appetizer. Order whole-grain pastas and breads instead of their refined counterparts. Ask for extra vegetables whether it’s your side or your entree, and finish the meal with fruit for dessert.
