Two things are important about regularity. Fiber and water.
Drink at least 64 oz of water daily. Everything counts Gatorade, even the broth in your soup.
Fiber: eat celery, carrot sticks, apples, pears, raisins, grapes, oranges.
I put 1 tablespoon of flax seed meal (available in supermarkets) in my oatmeal. I add it to mashed sweet potatoes. I've tossed it into rice salads and added it to spaghetti sauce. You can make a pot of chili and throw in about 1/2 cup of flax seed meal. Add it to casseroles. No one will know it's there. 1 table spoon of flax seed meal is about 1.5 grams of fiber but it also has a laxative effect on the body.
Here's some high fiber recipes. I've made some of them. I made the lentils and kale and I like it a lot.
