what does fibre do?

[zl214]

hi everyone

as far as i know ,human body cant utilise fibre as energy scource, all it does is cleanup the digestive tract.

so why is fibre so important?

 

[G-man]

It helps make you feel full when you eat, and its a colon cleaner, supposed to help prevent colon cancer

 

[LAM]

fiber also slows digestion (helps to lower the GI meals). it increases insulin sensitivity and lowers both total blood cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol...

 

[Jodi]

There are also some studies that suggest that is can absorb small amounts of dietary fat leading to less calories being absorbed.

It helps make you feel full when you eat

so if im bulking, i should eat as little fibre as i can, (because i should eat as much as i can during bulking) .....

Cut or Bulk you should make sure you get approx. 30G of dietary fiber a day.

Vieope is just shitting with ya , if only pizza and fiber one was a perfect meal
Any bean really , at least I think :hmm: I like Red beans best
But if you want alot of fiber , then go with fiber 1 cereal it's got 15G of fiber per 1/2 a cup

Fiber gives your colon something with bulk to push on....eating to little over time can result in colon issues such as diverticulosis and such..... And it does help bind and carry fat away.....

In lamens Dale Mabry would tell you it makes you POOP POOP

Put 1/3 cup (quite a small amount) of All Bran Buds in your morning oatmeal or shake - 10 grams of fiber right there. It's like a lovely bit of Colon Blow first thing in the morning.

Sorry this questions a little unrelated
Should I still be having around 30G of fibre on No Carb days?
I eat tons of veggies on thsoe days but I don't think I get 30G of fibre..
On my low carb days I get around 30G of fibre ...and then on my high carb days I get around 115G of fibre

 

[Jodi]

Unless you have problems than it's only 1 day and I wouldn't worry you are getting alot of fiber in your veggies. However, you can always take a SF fiber supplement.
