Thread: Fiber

Don't see a prob with it bro. On thing I noticed is that is has Maltodextrin and sucralose. Its only about 9 grams though I wouldnt worry. Use it.

you can buy sugar free Citrucel and Metamucil now.
also pysillum seed husk powder is a good choice, need to drink TONS of water though.
why do you want more fiber? not getting enough from your veggies?

Yeah, I actually do believe my fiber intake could be better. I eat veggies a few times a week, which I know is bad. I have the :

CITRUCEL

ORANGE FLAVOR - SUGAR FREE.

Colon Pure at GNC..costs a whole $11.

I am eating veggies two times per day, and fruit two times per day.

there is also fiber in whole grains, oats, etc. which I eat twice per day.

my point is you really should get some fiber thru your diet!

I unserstand the role of protien, carbs and "good" fat in a diet, but where does the fiber come in?

here, I just found this for you (it came up first on Google)

When you take in fiber with a carb in slows the breakdown of the carb and causes less of a release of insulin. Making them less likely to be stored as bodyfat. As well as many other benifits for fat loss. A great book is Everything you Need to Know about Fat Loss By Chris Aceto It has helped me alot. I base alot of what I do for my clients from that book.

Oh...it also makes you go pooh on a regular basis too!

i have the reverse problem--i think i am getting too much fiber in my diet. every time i eat large ammounts of oats(say 2 cups) i have stomach problems--and thats putting it politely.

besides rice, and applesauce, does anyone know a good way to counteract fibers effects? (tryed taking enzymes, it gave me worse problems.)

O and yes all the pics on my site are me even the one's in the cowboy hat everyone thinks it's a black guy IT'S ME!!

50 g of fiber in my diet works just about perfect.

I think my fiber intake is somewhere around 100+, haha...I eat TRUCKLOADS of veggies, and on top of that I have whole grains, psyllium husk, wheat bran.....

Peace.

Some insoluble fibers bind certain minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and iron, so you don't want to O.D. on it.

Most people should be getting between 25- 40 grams per day.

Eat beans.

Yeah, I'm done with the Citracel -- I had to leave my girlfriends house because I thought I was gonna shit myself.

I wasn't very happy.

Think that's funny? haha - I know people that have shit their pants on that stuff. I wouldn't say a full shit. But some runs... ewww. To much detail maybe... ?

AWESOME. I gotta try some of that.

Fiber is not supposed to give you diarrhea, in fact it can help cure diarrhea as well as constipation.

Is there something else in citracel, a laxative?

Personally, my doc yells at me to take Metamucil but my body just can't seem to handle it

Metamucil can become addicting and you won't beable to use the bathroom w/o it if you use it for a while. You'll become dependant. Thats why citrucel is better, its all natural and you get no cramps or nuttin.

metamucil is psyllium husk w/ flavor and sweetener i believe
