Consuming plenty of high fibre foods is one of the best ways to aid in your dieting efforts. High fibre foods are going to digest slowly in the body and help to tide your hunger over, making it easier to eat a lower calorie diet which is essential in order for weight loss to occur.

The following is a list of high fibre foods along with their corresponding fibre content(in grams of fibre):

1 medium pear - 5.1
2 dried figs - 3.7
1 cup blueberries - 3.5
1 medium apple - 3.3
1 cup strawberries - 3.3
1 medium orange - 3.1
1 cup whole wheat spaghetti - 6.3
