A weight management program compatible with a dieters food preferences and lifestyle and a natural high fiber dietary food blend derived from grains. The food blend contains a chew inducing grain and at least 40 grams of total dietary fiber in a volume that may vary from one cup to two cups. Initially, the dieter consumes a relatively small quantity of the high fiber food blend, and gradually increases the amount consumed on successive days until the dieter consumes a full portion food blend which contains at least 40 grams of total dietary fiber or a personal full portion compatible with his or her eating habits that contains between 30 and 40 grams of total dietary fiber. The dieter continues to consume that portion of the food blend on succeeding days and gradually adopts healthy eating behaviors without modification of lifestyle. Upon reaching a desired weight, the dieter adjusts the amount of the high fiber dietary food consumed while maintaining the acquired healthy and enjoyable eating behaviors.
