Dietitian recommends eating these high-fiber snacks every day to lose weight.
The first two things that come to mind when trying to lose weight are diet and exercise. However, sticking to a diet entails more than just consuming fewer calories than you expend. Include the appropriate foods in the appropriate amounts. For instance, the expert we spoke with advised us to eat high-fiber snacks to promote weight loss.

Fiber is the true hero here. It reduces your risk of developing diabetes, some cancers, and heart disease, according to the Mayo Clinic. It also keeps your bowel movements regular and serves as your body's primary source of fuel. According to the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute, including fiber in your diet nourishes and maintains the health of your microbiome. This bacteria's short-chain fatty acids provide energy to your cells. Fiber makes you feel fuller for longer, which may encourage you to eat less overall.
The good news is that including fiber in your diet is a simple process. It can be obtained by eating high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Some foods contain more fiber than others, and staying hydrated is essential to avoiding intestine blockage.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend 28 grams of fiber per day. Compare the amount of fiber in one medium-sized apple and one cup of broccoli to get an idea of what might meet that requirement. Beans are extremely high in fiber, with one cup containing an astounding 15 grams!

6.75 grams (24% DV) of fiber are found in a 1/2 avocado.
Another excellent idea is to include fruit in your diet, as Manaker informs us, "Avocados are a fruit with low carbohydrates, fiber, and a variety of important micronutrients. Avocados are a good source of good fats, which can also help people feel full."
Pear & cheese

Fiber per medium pear: 5.52 grams (20% DV)
Pears contain a lot of water, so you should definitely put them on your shopping list. Keep the skin on (only!) "When it comes to fiber, [pears] are a fiber powerhouse. Pears are a perfect food to include in a diet that is focused on losing belly fat because they also have a high water content and are low in calories "Manak recommends.
Hearts of artichoke seasoned

4 artichoke hearts contain 6.6 grams (24% DV) of fiber.
The next time you make a salad, add some artichokes, or eat them as a quick snack. "These natural beauties are a source of fiber that is easy to include in any weight loss diet," Manaker notes. Additionally, they taste good—especially when you make veggie tacos for lunch or dinner!
