Lately I've been finding that I'm in need of more fiber in my diet. Any suggestions on sneaking more in? I generally eat foods made with whole grains and try to have a salad each day. When I have granola and yogurt I also add in some ground flax seeds. Any other ideas?

I try to add a bit of wheat germ to everything I can. You can put it in almost anything in small amounts without changing the flavor. I've put it in tacos, lasagne, smoothies, on cereal and it is pretty good on frozen yogurt or ice cream.

Eat plenty of fresh fruit. I am pretty sure apples and pears are high in fiber.... but I would have to look that up to be sure.

dried fruits too: prunes are great cos they're quite iron rich too, and figs.....just make sure that you're upping your liquid intake too though.

When things are a little "slow going" for me, I find that nothing does the trick like apricot or pear juice... plus, they are tasty!

those little snack packs of raisins are ideal to carry around if you a quick healthy snack and have lots of fiber. I also drink the OJ with Fiber added (i think tropicana has it). I find both those help alot.

to increase fiber
You can get a bottle of wheat germ in any cereal section of the store and add it to cereal or yogurt. I like it w/ vanilla yogurt & fresh fruit
buy 100% stone ground whole wheat bread, check the fiber content, it should have at least 3gm fiber per slice to be worth it
cereals w/ high fiber content, shredded w/ frosting

, Kashi has some high fiber cereals, barbaras bakery also and cascadian farms
