F Factor Diet

Dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot came up with her new type of diet, the F-Factor Diet. The F-factor diet is based around increasing the intake of high fiber foods. That is what the letter F stands for. Fiber helps to promote the feeling of fullness and to reduce appetite. Fiber also controls blood sugar balance which helps to maintain high energy levels.

Recommended High Fiber Foods:

* Fiber One Cereal
* Fiber Crackers
* Fruit (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, pear, apple)
* Vegetables (salad greens, broccoli, asparagus, sweet potato, cabbage)
* Whole Grains (brown rice, whole wheat bread)
* Beans and Legumes (garbanzos, black beans, lentils, pinto beans)
* Nuts (peanut butter, almond, pistachio, walnut)

Tanya Zuckerbrot was on The View show Friday and talked about her The F-Factor Diet and the book.
