Tips

  • Soak lentils for at least 30 minutes to ensure they cook through.
  • Start with small increases in fiber intake (5 to 10 grams a day) to avoid overwhelming your body.
  • Drink a lot of water when increasing fiber intake.
  • Be creative with liquids; you can use coconut milk, vegetable stock, or chicken stock for flavor.
