Rules #4 and #5 of Fat Loss

Rule #4-Eat 25-35 grams of fiber a day
Eating fiber, or fibrous vegetables will help with satiety between meals. If you find that 25-35 grams is hard to get, then a fiber supplements like glucomannan, Granny's metamucil, or fiber chewable will give you a little help. Glucomannan is an interesting little supplement, and is grat for weight loss. It is a soluble fiber made from the cognac plant, that when consumed thickens and expands helping your body feel fuller, for a longer period of time. You can find it here or in the noodle form here. All three fiber supplements above are important because they slow the release of food from your stomach helping you feel a little less miserable between meals while you are in your calorie defecit.

Rule #5-Drink .6-.7 ounces of water per pound of body weight
Drinking enough water will ensure that you are getting enough fluid for your workouts, and it will also help with hunger pangs that you may get from time to time throughout the day. People will sometimes hold onto water because they don't get enough on a daily basis. So you could lose some water weight, by drinking more water. Isn't that ironic?
