Too much fiber?

I am constantly going over my fiber every day and was wondering if it will have any effects on my weight loss? I haven't noticed any effects at all but there must be a suggested intake for a reason?

    Your suggested intake is more of a 'minumum' for fiber... I read that you are actually supposed to get 40 g fiber per day... but this is REALLY hard to do... you are still in your 'healthy' number if you get at least 20g... Fiber is great for weight loss
