5.Troublesome Foods
Some foods can make you more likely to get stopped up. The most common culprits are dairy products, sugary treats, and high-fat meats. So go easy on marbled steaks and sausages, cheese, ice cream, cakes, cookies, and frozen or packaged meals, which tend to lack much fiber.
6.Rethink Your Veggies
Some vegetables are high in vitamins but low in fiber. Spinach has less than 1 gram per cup of raw leaves. These picks pack much more:
Broccoli (1 cup, cooked): 5.2 grams
Carrots (1 cup, cooked from frozen): 4.8 grams
Baked potato with skin: 4.6 grams
Peas (1/2 cup, cooked from frozen): 4.4 grams
Sun-dried tomatoes (1/2 cup): 3.3 grams
