I found out something shocking the other day, and I though I would share it with the rest of the world who are misguided like me!
I have always consumed tons of spinach, arugula, and lettuce, thinking that I am getting plenty of fiber!
As it turns out.... they DO NOT contain as much fiber as I originally thought! In fact, its almost negligible!!!
Here are some facts to set us straight....
1 cup pf shredded lettuce contains less than 1g of fiber!
2 cups of arugula contain 1g of fiber!
1 cup of spinach has only 0.7g of fiber!
You see, thought you are getting vitamins and minerals, you are not getting much fiber!
So do not be fooled, and add artichokes, brocoli, and carrots to your salads for more fiber!
