How important is Fiber in all of our diets?  

For anyone interested in superb health and fitness, its HUGELY IMPORTANT.  Especially if you are on a reduced kcal or carb diet.  

Your body needs fiber to stay regular and to help with your metabolism running at optimal levels.

The easiest way to make sure you get an adequate amount is thru supplementation.

The Easiest Way to Ensure Enough Fiber in Your Diet!

 

The Muscle Couple takes Fiber Capsules.  You can buy them at any Pharmacy or Nutritional Supplement store.  They are cheap and very effective in helping  metabolize your food, and they will greatly improve the chances you don’t “over-eat” as they provide a feeling of satiety.  

We normally swallow anywhere from 3-8 capsules after every feeding especially when dieting and restricting carbs.  

A good rule of thumb is to consume 8-15gms of Fiber per day!  

You can also use powder formulations like Metamucil.  We find the capsules much more convenient for transport and easier to consume with less mess from adding to a drink formulation.

    Always amazes me how many knuckleheads I come across that are clueless about keeping fiber in their diet, especially when they’re on a carb-reduction cycle!
