Beer bellies and muffin tops may be the least flattering summer accessories, but losing them sometimes seems impossible. Fitness guru and The Metabolism Solution author Lisa Lynn, who also spent years as Martha Stewart’s personal trainer, knows exactly which simple changes to your daily habits can help you shed those last pounds, and how to identify health and diet myths. Lynn joined NBC Connecticut News’ host to help viewers reach their weight-loss goals. One of her secrets is supplementing with Sunfiber to ensure that you get enough dietary fiber.
Lifting a large, flesh-colored mass, Lynn stated, “I’m holding five pounds of fat and I’m going to show you how to get rid of this fast.”
She dispelled myths about so-called healthy food choices that can actually thwart your weight-loss efforts. Her next prop, a banana, demonstrated the confusion people have when it comes to choosing healthy fruits and vegetables. “This is a little mistake that people make: the right fruit and fiber. These are not the right fruit.” Lynn picked up the banana to show that eating a serving size, approximately the length of her thumb, would mean saving about half of the banana for later. “It’s too big. It’s loaded with sugar. In a nutshell, get rid of that.”
“Having said that, you do need fiber,” Lynn continued. “This Sunfiber is the only invisible, regulating fiber … It doesn’t block the gut. It slows gastric transit time so it actually keeps you feeling fuller longer. [It’s] delicious, odorless and colorless. [Throw it] right into your shake, stir [and] go.”
Few people consume the daily recommended amount of fiber, which is crucial for maintaining digestive health. A single scoop of Sunfiber contains six grams of fiber, about 25 percent of daily requirement. Because Sunfiber does not change the taste or texture of foods and beverages, it can be added to just about anything including water, juice, yogurt or even your morning coffee.
