Fiber

I am thrilled I ate 43 g of fiber today!!  I went vegetarian today and was amazed at how much fiber I ate!!  I had Go lean cereal, blueberries, banana, cantaloupe, spinach, beans, bell peppers, corn on the cob, Portabello garden burger, rye bread, tomotoes, half avocado, walnuts.

I feel gggrrreeeaatt!  Julie : )

Congrats.  I have trouble with my fiber intake.  I average around 21g of fiber a day.  I try to get more, but am not a big bread or cereal eater.  I have thought about fiber supplements.  I usually get most of my fiber from veggies, fruit and nuts.

They recommend 35 g a day but you are doing good.  The garden burger had 5 g ea of fiber and I had two.  You know I saw your name the other day on the board...I have a cousin named Kelly Green.

hello Julie:)

Congratulations but I have to tell you this.

I have done the same thing for a month. 40-50 g fiber a day. Now, I have a stomach problem and need to take medicine.

Everything in moderation is good. Don't get too much fiber every day.

Just my experience. Best of luck to you.

Safina was it related to the fiber intake?  I am making sure I drink plenty of water to help it on it's journey out of the body!  I hope you will be ok!

well yes, it was related to the fiber intake. and actually I am seeking professional help.

I used to eat all sorts of fruit, broocoli , berries, and my fiber intake was really high. Sometimes, 50 grams a day. you won't feel any thing in the beginning but after a month or two, I don't know.

I am just trying to keep it in moderation. Avoiding broocoli was a solution for me.

Thanks

The recommended daily dose of fibre is 25g

Eat a cup of fiber one for breakfast. In that alone you have 28gs. :) and it's only 120 cals. That's how I roll.
