This article focuses on high-fiber and high lysine triticale recipes. At one time, adding fiber to the diet meant having to ladle spoonfuls of sawdustlike unprocessed wheat bran onto otherwise low-fiber dishes. Wheat bran may not be the tastiest of delicacies, but at 50 percent pure crude, it's what human bodies need to stay healthy. Large cereal companies have made it their business to make bran both presentable and palatable. Their high-fiber breakfast cereals are, to be sure, tasty, but no one wants to eat breakfast three times a day. By continuing to enjoy bran cereals for breakfast and by switching to low-fat dishes with high vegetable-fiber content for all meals, one can not only stay healthier but lose weight as well. Many people who have switched to high-fiber diets for health reasons discover they can eat more, feel more satisfied and still shed excess pounds. The article also presents recipes of Millet Chili Pie, Francesca's Chili Con Carne and Cornbread Bean Bake.
