Foods with Fiber: Fiber helps you feel full longer, slows digestion and reduces hunger. While this might not directly burn fat, it can still help you to lose weight by reducing your chance of over-eating. You should consume at least 25 grams of fiber each day or 14 grams per 1,000 calories in your diet. High-fiber foods include artichokes, quinoa, brown rice, figs, pears and almonds. Beans also have high levels of soluble fiber. They can lower insulin levels, which helps suppress appetite. Two cups of beans provides 25 g of fiber, and there are several varieties to choose from, including pinto, kidney, navy and Lima. Not all beans are good to stimulate fat burning. Baked beans are usually high in sugar, and re fried beans often have high levels of saturated fat.
