A 48-week randomized trial found that adding soluble fiber to the diet increased weight-loss maintenance by 50%. The effect was measured in participants who continued their weight-loss regimen after the initial phase. The study suggests that incorporating soluble fiber sources - such as oats, barley, legumes, and psyllium - into daily meals can sustain the benefits of a calorie-restricted diet. Practical adjustments include adding a half-cup of cooked oats to breakfast, swapping refined grains for whole-grain versions, and using a fiber supplement when meals are low in fiber. These tweaks can help keep the body in a negative energy balance without drastic changes to portion sizes.
