Recent research in the Journal of Nutrition suggests eating more fiber as a way to prevent weight gain or even encourage weight loss. Over the course of the two-year study, the researchers found that boosting fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories resulted in about 4 1/2 pounds of weight lost.

Try it for yourself. If you're consuming 2,000 calories per day, aim to increase your fiber by 16 grams.

Fiber-rich foods that help do the weight-loss work for you:

1. A medium apple contains 4 grams of fiber
2. One cup of green beans boasts 4 grams of fiber
3. A medium-size baked sweet potato, skin included, offers 5 grams of fiber-for just 103 calories.
4. One cup of raspberries has 8 grams of fiber
5. One cup of strawberries has a respectable 3 grams of fiber
6. 3/4 cup of chickpeas has a whopping 8 grams of fiber
7. A cup of cooked pumpkin contains 3 grams of fiber
