Fiber supplements?

[scors77]

Hi. I'm new to supplements and I started a high fiber diet a week ago. I just tried Fiber-Sure from t.v. and that stuff sucks. It doesn't even mix in my drink, it just shrinks up to a solid goo. So what's out there that's better then this?

For food I eat:

Thomas light english muffins - Each muffin has 8g of fiber so I eat two and that makes for half of my days fiber just in the morning.

Fiber one cereal - 1 cup has 14g of fiber. I mix that with my light and fit 60 calorie yogart. It tastes alright but not the best.

Thanks.

Just wondering why the high fiber diet? Most people get enough just by eating whole, unprocessed foods.

All my other diets have failed. low fat diet etc. (don't know the other names). And this one seems a lot safer than the low carb diet.

warrior- you want me to pm mr Brewer on this one?

Atkins is still the most effective for weight loss of the diets that have been tested,

High fiber isn't going to do much except make you poop.

You cannot digest fiber, If you just eat vegetables you will get plenty of fiber.


Atkins has been used for a very long time, and so far they haven't found anything wrong with it, as long as you drink enough water, the high protein can cause constipation. So just use up your fiber LOL

For some of us that have no taste for fruits and vegetables, fiber supplements are a god send. As for me, I prefer psyllium products that contain the husk and grain. I do also eat whole grain breads and pasta.

As for beginner supplements, the best thing I can recommend is a multi-vitamin, if you diet is insufficient (or maybe not). There is evidence that the mass grown vegetables have been losing nutritional density over the past 50 years.

If you don't eat fish, a fish oil supplement might not be a bad idea.

I have always found a 40,30,30 ratio(by calories, not grams) of carbs, protein, and fats works well for maintenance.

Someone already mentioned fiber 1 cereal. Great Stuff. Here are a couple of extra ones by Kashi:

Go Lean Crunch

All high fiber cereals.

And be sure to try the high fiber Honey Flakes by fiber one.
