It is known to everybody that fat accumulation is a result of eating more and working less. Especially if our food is rich in fats and carbohydrates, we are bound to become obese after some time.

An effective fat-burning method with the help of fibers has been brought forward by a recent study. This study has proven that three hours after a fiber-rich breakfast, if a sixty-minute mild exercise is done, it burns double the fats than done after a breakfast lacking in fiber. Brown bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, barley, porridge, fruits like kiwi, melons, figs and apples, citrus fruits like grapefruit, vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, Broccoli, lettuce, spinach, and beans of any kind are rich in fiber, so if you include them in your breakfast and meals, they will make you satiated, still will burn your fats. A small handful of nuts too are a good source of fiber, plus they are good for your heart and brain too. Eat all these preferably fresh; if canned fruits are to be eaten, prefer water or juice-packed and not syrup-packed.
