The Dietary Fiber Debate.

[arakboss]

How many grams of dietary fiber are you getting a day (excluding fiber supplements)?

According to Google AI overview, Americans are averaging 10 to 15 grams a day. Most recommendations are for double or more than that.



Some people (carnivore proponents) say you don't need any. See Dr B's video below.

I have been getting about 25 to 30 grams but want to double that to 50 or 60 grams a day. I am hoping that will give me a fuller feeling after meals. That might help me cut back on calories without feeling deprived.

Maybe fiber is overrated by the meat haters?

This guy is a strong proponent of more fiber in diet. Carnivorians skip past 6:04 mark.

While there is controversy surrounding the amount and importance of fiber, everyone agrees that when increasing your daily intake, do it very slowly. Otherwise you chance some nasty upsets to your gut.

I have been taking generic beano capsules to minimize the negative effects. I am at 41 grams so far in today's count. Feeling pretty full from 8oz of lentils mixed in with ramen. Had 6oz of lentils on nachos in meal before that. Beano seems to be working so far. I might hit 50+ grams today.

High fiber or low fiber.... either way I'm glad not to be anyone's colon.






ESPECIALLY a Marine's colon!!

This is good advice. Perhaps you have just saved someone from a poop so big it hurts.

Just choose the theory that allows you to continue to eat whatever you want, and go with it.

Got in 63 grams of fiber. Hopefully my intestines hold together.

This will trash your target of $0.0005/calories.
To keep that goal, I suggest you graze with the ungulates in your area.

$.00095 per calorie is my target. Lentils are close enough to target price.

What is the slop on the bottom right?
There is probably lots of fiber in the shredded white cabbage.
