Thanks Dan. I did a lot of research on fiber and ended up getting confused. For instance, does it matter what type of fiber the food has i.e. soluble vs insoluble? Also, what fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in fiber. And of those, do you have to eat the skin to get the fiber? Finally, does cooking remove or reduce fiber content?

You want both types of fiber, but getting more of either is useful. Many fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber and lists of fiber content are easy to google for. Some plants carry more fiber in their skins, some don't. No matter what, you should intake more fiber. If you're an adult in the west, it's pretty likely that you're Not Getting Enough Fiber.
