High Fiber Foods are Weight Loss Foods

High fiber foods contain "sneaky" calories. Each gram of fiber burns calories as it works its way through your digestive tract! Watch how it works with this apple. Each gram of fiber causes your body to burn seven calories, so metabolism negates thirty-five calories (5 grams of fiber times 7 calories per gram). Only 45% of the calories absorbed!
