can you lose weight on a high fiber diet

you should be taking more than 35g of fiber a day.
as a component of food, fiber isn't absorbed by the body: therefore it dosent contribute calories. that's why high fiber foods such as whole grains, veggies, legumes and fruit -usually lower in calories - are included in weight loss diets. their high fiber content makes theses diets quite filling so you might eat less overall.
very high fiber diets also may some up short on protein foods. an excessively high fiber diet can cause constipation and dehydration if extra fluids aren't consumed.
bulk fillers, which are high in fiber aren't advised. they reduce hunger by first absorbing liquid then swelling up in the stomach. these products can be harmful when they obstruct the digestive tract.
moderation of dietary fiber as part of an overall healthful diet is a smarter approach to weight loss. adding fiber to a healthful weight loss plan - one that doesn't go below 1600cal/day - is a smart idea.

Celebrate Meatless Mondays by generating a meal starring beans (another weight-loss aid). You'll love this sweet potato along with black bean burrito.

Yes along with other things like working out and maybe a diet pill like proactol or proshaperx ....but a high fiber diet is good to start with.

Yes. Fiber fills you up without adding any calories. It also acts as a diluting agent which will slow the absorption of nutrients (for example, reduce the glycemic index of foods).
However, too much fiber can cause diarrhea.
