Does fiber aid in weight loss and if not, what are the benefits of it?

Fiber can aid in weight loss somewhat indirectly. Fiber makes you feel full longer, so you have less of an urge to eat. It also slows digestion and absorption, which means that sugars enter the bloodstream more slowly. This keeps your blood sugar even. Fiber also strengthens the lining of the colon and helps to provide fuel for the body. It also helps to keep you from getting constipated. Some definite benefits, if you ask me!

Yes. It fills you up without adding extra calories. Also, it acts as a diluting agent which slows down the absorption of calories.
