While some weight loss plans try to limit carbohydrates, fiber is a healthy kind of carb that you want in your diet. Our bodies aren\u2019t built to digest it, which, however counterintuitive, is actually a good thing. There are 2 types of fiber\u2014soluble and insoluble\u2014that ultimately help with digestion.<\/p><p>Sources of soluble fiber include foods like oatmeal, lentils, oranges, pears, strawberries, beans and blueberries. It absorbs water, provides bulk to the food you\u2019re digesting, delays digestion and gives you a fuller feeling. Sources of insoluble fiber, on the other hand, include whole wheat, whole grains, wheat bran, seeds, nuts, barley and dark leafy greens. It adds bulk, speeds up the digestion process, doesn\u2019t absorb water and passes through your body quickly. While they\u2019re different, both kinds of fiber are crucial for a healthy diet.<\/p><p>\u201cFun fact: you\u2019d need to eat 10 medium-sized apples per day to hit your fiber target, and eating an entire head of broccoli will still only get you 6 grams.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e341a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e341a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7dbd409\" data-id=\"7dbd409\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77bc60b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77bc60b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>READ MORE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/learn\/wellness\/what-is-fiber.html\">What Is Fiber And Why Is It Important?<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2435044 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2435044\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ea86899\" data-id=\"ea86899\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f621d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f621d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Much Fiber You Need May Surprise You<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-571acd9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"571acd9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d6974da\" data-id=\"d6974da\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1929621 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1929621\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Think you\u2019re getting enough fiber?
