Like most nutritionists and dietitians, I’m a big fan of high-fibre diets, not just because they can help to reduce the risk of health problems ranging from constipation and piles to heart disease and cancer, but also because they help to fill us up. This is crucial if we want to lose weight, but it’s also important in helping us to keep our weight steady, so that we avoid becoming overweight or obese in the future.
