    Aim for at least seven to eight servings per day of cereals, whole-grain breads, and grains with 2 g of fiber or more per serving. Good food choices include oatmeal, oat bran, semolina, whole wheat pasta, couscous, barley, bulgur wheat, brown rice, and wild rice.

    Start your day by eating whole grains such as: oatmeal, whole-bran muffins, whole-wheat pancakes and bran cereal.

    Switch your refined foods to whole grains-in bread, crackers, pasta and brown rice.

    Snack on popcorn, pop the kernels in a brown paper lunch bag in the microwave.

    Give quinoa, barley and amarath a try. Just add your favorite spices and/or vegetable or chicken broth to any of them.
