High Fiber=Happy Disposition! 30 Grams per day of fiber is not so hard to do. Again, reading labels is in the forefront of my mind. I added a fiber drink every night before bedtime. It is a hard swallow, but, "drink it quickly" passes through my mind in those 30 seconds it takes to down the stuff!
I know it's summer, but soup is so easy and if you have the ingredients in the house, why not? It quells hunger really great too.
