Drinking lime and lemon juices without adding sugar (you can add honey instead of sugar) will work best. Consuming green leafy vegetables also adds to the fiber and hence should be included in the diet. Cook these vegetables in a simple way, i.e. avoid adding any spices. Drink fluids throughout the day, however, keep a limit on the fruits (one slice each time, 3-4 times a day).
