Oat bran is rich in sugars and proteins, but its main benefit is that it contains high levels of soluble fiber, which absorb water in the intestine and increase in size 20 times more than they are without water. This results in a feeling of fullness while soothing constipation, which is considered expected after four days in the first stage of the diet. Oat bran also has the advantage that when the body digests it, it attracts fat molecules, sugars, and toxins and eliminates them from the body before they can be absorbed.
