Trans fats are bad. But fiber is good. So maybe as you ditch the bad fat from your diet, you could replace it with some good fiber. It's never tasted better, says Prevention magazine. You might not even miss your fats when you give these fiber-filled foods a whirl.

  • Grain: Air-popped popcorn, 3 cups, 4 grams of fiber
  • Cereal: Quaker Oats (cooked), 1/2 cup, 5 grams of fiber
  • Fruit: Blueberries, 1 cup, 4 grams of fiber
  • Vegetable: Broccoli, 1 cup, 5 grams of fiber
  • Protein: Black beans (cooked), 1 cup, 15 grams of fiber
  • Other: Dark chocolate, 5 pieces, 3 grams of fiber

These are just a few ideas. The list goes on -- just hop on over here and you'll stumble upon tasty treats like orange juice, chickpeas, canned pumpkin, pears, whole wheat pasta, and so much more.
