What foods have a lot of fiber in them?!
Answers: Is there any fresh fruit or vegetable that i can eat that provides a lot of fiber?
A fiber deficiency increases your risk of constipation, hemorrhoids, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, obesity, colon cancer and heart disease. In other words, high fiber foods are essential if you want to look and feel your best.
And if that's not enough, eating more foods from this list of high fiber foods will give you the strength and inclination to get up and "go" – on a "regular" basis!
Most Americans get only about 10 grams of fiber daily. That's not nearly enough. You need an intake of 30 to 40 grams of fiber a day for optimum health.

broccoli, i may be the only one that eats it raw, the best source of natural insoluble fiber is wheat bran, so find food with wheat bran like cereal or a muffin
Pineapple
