“Muffin Top”
Posted by Tricia Rzepkowski on April 6th, 2009
Do you struggle with the “muffin top” problem?
One simple thing to help you when you EDIT your DIET is to add fiber! Yes, I want you to focus on adding food to your diet – eat more high fiber foods!
“How can adding more food to my diet help me lose weight?”
Eating enough fiber will help you feel full, control your blood sugar and keep your energy level high without adding extra calories.
“What foods are high in Fiber?”
Whole grains, nuts, wheat bran, oats, barley, flax seeds, beans, vegetables, citrus fruits, and apples.
Look through the list from the Mayo Clinic for a few of your favorites!
Now muffins are not usually high in fiber – compare Fiber One Apple Cinnamon Muffin with 5 grams of Fiber to a Betty Crocker Apple Streusel Muffin with less than 1 gram of Fiber.
I tried the Fiber One Muffins and they were very tasty!

April 6, 2009 @ 8:30 amThanks for the list. I was going to look some up myself today, since you told me about this fiber thing last week. But, now you have done the work for me. I appreciate that! Have a good one!
