Substituting Fiber on a Diet - Tips & Advice

[heat123]

I read somewhere on here that some people have done this diet? I was wondering if you can substitute some of the 35grams of fiber via supplements rather than eating all veggies or fruits? I bought some fiber tabs and it seems to help me fill full! A little gasier than usual but what do ya do:blushing: .
TIA for any tips...

When you are increasing fiber be sure to drink lots of water - Brenda Watso - The author of Renew Life does not put Psyllium seed in any ofher formulas becuase it causes gas and bloating. Have you actually read the book yet??? or did you just read the article in Women's world recently??

Yes, the WW mag, that just came out- struck me as interesting.

It is so incredibly easy to get 35 grams of fiber in a day! Besides fruits and vegetables, there are many, many varieties of breads (including Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat), bagels, pitas, etc., that have huge amounts of fiber per serving. La Tortilla factory's tomato basil wraps have at least 12g of fiber for EACH wrap ... and if you are on WW like me, count as one point!I have tons of resources for stuff like this, if you want any specific brand names, i can tell you about em. Fiber One brand cereals and granola bars are also very high in fiber.

THe only thing I didnt' buy was the Smart fit shake (very high fiber content) so I am drinking the highest fiber one I could find at the store and then supplementing with some fiber tabs. Thanks for the tips Tena!

At the store I work at there are only two high fiber shakes Reset and Smart Fit

I have a lot of protein powders at home and I am adding the fiber sprinkle to them to pump up the fiber
