Then it would follow that high-fiber foods such as whole-wheat breads and country-style orange juice would be helpful also.

Orange juice is a source of fructose, which is THE most fattening sugar there is. A glass of OJ contains the equivalent of about 3 average sized oranges, a shot of almost pure sugar, and around 160 grams of carbs. For the average, non-dieting person, 75 grams of carbs should be all you would want to take in a day. Fiber is not digestible by any means. Even cows, who live on it, have to regurgitate and rechew it several times. It won't hurt, but it won't help, either.

Fiber helps keep you regular due to the fact that you can't really digest it. It just, ahem... helps push things through. Fructose is a simple sugar. Better for you than the processed junk, but still contains a lot of calories.
Once again...
Too many calories=stored fat.
End of story.
