…these amazing facts may be hidden firstly that a
high-roughage diet is harder to eat. Secondly, a high-roughage diet is much bulkier than a low-roughage diet. Thirdly, as the items in a high-roughage diet are chewed, large amounts of saliva and gastric juices are produced. Fourthly, high roughage foods impair the ability of the same intestine to absorb calories. And lastly, a high-fiber diet actually excrete more fat in each bowel movement than those on then low-roughage diet.

‘It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating
a homegrown tomato.
~Lewis Grizzard
Believe me. Be it a tomato or a carrot, they are just as pleasant and as good roughage than anything else. Hence, that’s bring us to the subject of why fruits and vegetable are good sources of roughage. And can help you to speed up your weight loss program.
OK? Before you get your knickers all twisted into knobs, stop, take a deep breath and reflect on this article on roughage and weight loss. To be honest, I have only peeled back the first layer of this article with the above quote. But if you really want to get the truth, we are going to get personal. Any problem on that?
Now, can we just examine the amazing facts one by one? But let’s begin the first fact. It’s great, if I may say so myself!
Amazing Fact No. 1. A high-roughage diet is harder to eat.
Make no mistake! Instant mashed potatoes and cottony white bread slide down like so much slush. But brown rice, raw carrots, sliced cucumbers, and fresh require time and energy to chew and absorb. A person on high-fiber diet is much more likely to reach the point of satisfaction before he eats too much. Get the picture?
Next up, I would like to give a shout to the next killer facts number 2. Here is it!
Amazing Fact No.2. A high-roughage diet is much bulkier than a low-roughage diet.
Consider this scenario! By the time an individual does away with a big plate of lettuce or half a bunch of celery, plus a serving of meat loaf laced with miller's bran and a side order of peas, he is hardly in the mood for a heaping bowl of white-floor spaghetti and couple of slices of white bread.
Sound complicated so far? Then, can we pause a moment here! Why don’t you take a minute to let that sink in. Before you scroll down to the next line! Such a simple idea is ever so easy to skip over, I make no apology for repeating it. If I have to! Agreed?
Any questions ? If ‘No’ then let’s walk over to the next amazing fact!
Amazing Fact No.3. As the items in a high-roughage diet are chewed, large amounts of saliva and gastric juices are produced.
Correct me if I am wrong. I am still of the opinion that this additional liquid mixes with the food in the stomach and causes swelling of the fibers in the food. That expands the stomach and gives prompt and lasting feeling of "fullness". Such ‘ evasive’ feeling many dieters says they misses. Full Stop!
By the way, think we are going somewhere? I say we are even at this stage. Just continue reading this, you will get it. Trust me!
Amazing Fact No.4. High roughage foods impair the ability of the same intestine to absorb calories.
Sound complicated, trust me, it’s not! There is some convincing-although not yet conclusive fact to be established here. But don’t get me wrong! Evidence however prove that a diet of fruits and vegetable eaten with abundance actually impairs the ability of the small intestine to absorb calories. Believe it or not. This might mean that someone on a high-roughage diet can actually eat more and still lose weight.
The last killer fiber fact may be the last but certainly not the least. Hear me out, I promise you it will worth it. OK?
Amazing Fact No.5. It has been well established that those who consume a high-
fiber diet actually excrete more fat in each bowel movement than those on low-
roughage diet.
Lucky for you. I have to admit that a dieter on a high-roughage diet can rejoice in the knowledge that he is excreting a portion of his excess body fat/. Even as each day on his diet goes by. Are you with me so far? The bottom line is just read this with an open mind! Let’s continue!
Before I conclude this article, let me set the record straight. You should not only read
but please memorize, internalized and act on these facts. For your convince, let me
put into a shiny and compact nutshell. It’s none other than firstly high-roughage
it’s harder to eat. Secondly, a high-roughage diet is much bulkier than a low-roughage
diet. Thirdly, as the items in a high-roughage diet are chewed, large amounts of saliva
and gastric juices are produced. Fourthly, high roughage foods impairs the ability of the
same intestine to absorb calories. And lastly, It has been well established that those who
consume a high-fiber diet actually excrete more fat in each bowel movement than those
on low-roughage diet. Simple! Isn’t it?
Our conclusion has to be: Yes, people who have gotten too fat may need to go on
diet to get the fat off. Once most of the excess fat is off, however, they are really only at the beginning of their treatment. At that point they must tackle the real problem.
Don’t be overly confused with all those technicality and jargons. In truth we really don’t
have to understand in details how electricity works! And yet we effortlessly switch ‘on’
and ‘off’ the lights. In the same way, we just practice what we have read. Let’s pluck the
fruits and worry about the roots later. Period. I rest my case. Thank you!
