I’m back to my weight before the depression and I really think its my high fiber diet I have to thank. A lot of people have noticed my weight loss, so I must of gained quite a bit over the last couple years. But thats what depression can do to you! And I am definitely a comfort eater, oh how I love food!
Since James brought me a bread maker I have been having homemade multigrain bread everyday. Its the best thing! The smell of fresh baked bread in the morning, no preservatives or chemicals and oh so tasty! I think it maybe the bread is low GI so it is really filling plus is really helps my digestive system (makes me VERY regular). But its not only the bread - I have swapped to eating wheat bran muffins (also home made) and also eat a lot of oats.
I was having a lot of digestive problems over the past few years and couldn’t figure out why, so once I changed to a high fiber diet the weight pretty much dropped off and now my clothes don’t fit! A good excuse to go shopping on Etsy I suppose!
This may not work for everyone, but definitely a high fiber diet has helped me maintain a digestive healthy system along side the weight loss. A high-fiber diet may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. I fully recommend bread makers to everyone – they taste so good and great for a healthy lifestyle!
