Fiber helps you lose weight naturally
cutting calories, plain and simple. The beauty of The Full
Plate Diet™ is that increasing your fiber intake helps you
lose weight naturally because you’re consuming fewer
calories, so even if you don’t increase your exercise you
still lose weight. Exercise will definitely help you burn
calories faster, but again, it’s up to you.

Did you ever see Leave It to Beaver? The Cleavers were
the quintessential family of the 1950s. June Cleaver had
dinner on the table every evening at precisely 5:30 for
her husband, Ward, and her two boys, Wally and Beaver.
They sat down and ate together every evening as a
family. And of course June Cleaver vacuumed the house
every day wearing high heels and pearls. Things have
changed a bit, haven’t they?
Today’s June Cleaver juggles work and a family. Like
all of us, she’s on the go. Like her, we can only dream
of everyone sitting down to eat at the same time. The
good news is that it’s easy to incorporate high-fiber into
a busy life.
Chapter 11 has a checklist of high-fiber foods you,
the kids, and your significant other can eat to replace
those foods that have low or no fiber. In part III you’ll
find snacks and smoothies, 7-minute meals, and 30 very
simple recipes to get you started.
On the Go—Eating Out
Lots of us frequently eat in casual and fast-food
restaurants. Finding more fiber in these situations
can be a challenge, but menus are changing and most
restaurants are happy to accommodate requests for
items not on the menu. In chapters 9 and 10 you’ll
find suggestions for eating fiber at your workplace, in
restaurants and on the road.
You’re Already Into Food
and Nutrition?
If you’ve been reading about nutrition, you know the
experts are already singing the praises of fiber. The
Full Plate Diet™, with fiber as its main theme, will help
attain that elusive next level. Take the opportunity to
experiment and enjoy the fiber path to weight loss and a
healthy lifestyle.
If you’re enjoying retirement or working from home
you can eat what you want, when you want, so you’ve
got total freedom to put The Full Plate Diet™ to work.
Most of us move in and out of these eating styles.
Sometimes, we’re busy, busy, busy. Other times we’re
on the go and eating out. Occasionally we’re at home—
weekends, vacations, holidays—giving us more time to
experiment with high-fiber meals.
