Eat more fiber for your overall health and belly fat reduction. Your body cannot digest fiber and there are two forms:

Soluble fiber dissolves in water and produces a gel-like substance in your stomach. This substance helps digested food move slowly through the small intestine and slows down food absorption and release of nutrients into the bloodstream. Soluble fiber also limits the amount of cholesterol released into the blood.

Foods high in soluble fiber: apples, apricots, bananas, cherries, grapefruit, kiwi, peaches, Oranges, strawberries, artichoke, broccoli, asparagus, peas, brown rice, squash, quinoa, tomatoes, carrots, romaine lettuce, beans and lentils

Insoluble fiber cannot be broken down once entering the stomach and increases in size by absorbing water. This type of fiber speeds up foods absorption once it enters into the small intestine. Insoluble fiber cleans your system as it travels through your body.

Foods high in insoluble fiber: flax seeds, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, quinoa, blueberries, cranberries, grapes, mangos, papaya, lemons, nectarines, Pears, figs, spinach, green beans, kale, collards, lettuce, arugula, watercress, peas, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, herbs

Eat both types of fiber to help you feel fuller for longer and to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Eat 25-35 grams of daily fiber per day.

"No" is the best answer to this question. Meat is not a source of fiber. You can get protein from meat. Fiber comes from plants.

Pepper, particularly bell peppers, contains a moderate amount of fiber. A medium-sized bell pepper typically has about 2-3 grams of fiber, which contributes to daily fiber intake but is not considered a high-fiber food compared to legumes or whole grains. However, peppers are still a nutritious addition to a balanced diet, providing vitamins and antioxidants along with their fiber content.
