Increasing your fibre intake may help you lose weight – for good.
Editor's Note: Good Housekeeping first covered the F-Factor diet in 2019, in advance of concerns that have surfaced around the diet's influence on healthy eating habits as well as recent allegations that suggest F-Factor brand food products produce negative physical side effects. Below, we've updated our review of the information and advice shared in Tanya Zuckerbrot's 2006 book, The F-Factor Diet: Discover the Secret to Permanent Weight Loss.
Zuckerbrot, the founder and CEO of the F-Factor brand, says her company has helped nearly 175,000 dieters begin a new program in recent years, but the company has evolved past a singular diet plan. Since the F-Factor program is focused on maximizing fiber consumption , Zuckerbrot's company also introduced fiber supplements and ready-to-eat products as a new offering to customers.
Having spent years working with clients with diabetes and heart disease in a private practice in New York, Zuckerbrot explains that she realized that eating more fiber helped people manage blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol — and promoted weight loss in the process. Besides appearing in a slew of good-for-you-foods, natural sources of fiber also fill you up so you're not feeling deprived later in the day.
Story continuesHow many grams of fiber should I eat on the F-Factor Diet?At each stage of the F-Factor diet, you should aim to eat at least 35 grams of fiber per day. That's not an arbitrary number. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends adults consume between 25-35 grams of fiber daily depending on your age and gender. However, only a mere 5% of us of get close to that goal, according to a 2017 study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.
You can get closer to consuming 35g of dietary fiber by loading up on these fiber-full foods, as listed by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans:
