i know that fiber helps with appetite control and generally makes your bowel movements more frequent (sorry, didnt know how else to say that other than makes you poop..) would fiber help me lose weight? im a 19 year old female i weigh 130 pounds and im 5'3. is this over weight? i really want to lose weight all over...i know i should be working out more but i have a fulltime job and am a student during the school year. this is no excuse but sometimes theres just not enough time in a day and i have very little energy after work. would eating more fiber (fiber one cereal would be added to my diet bc it has about 15g of fiber per serving) help me lose weight?

1) you are not overweight at all. you are normal. overweight for someone who is 5'1 is 132 lbs and you are 2 inches taller, so you are cetainly not overweight.
2) Fiber itself does not make you lose weight, however, it does decrease your apetite, so you will end up eating less. Just watch how many calories you take in and you should be good to go. try anywhere between 1000 and 1300 calories a day for optimum weightloss of someone who is around 5'3 and can't workout very often. Try also eating 3-5 small meals as opposed to 3 big meals. Eating more frequently will speed up your metabolism and help you lose weight faster.
Good Luck and Don't worry so much about your weight. I'm sure you look fine! :)
