    GOOD AND CHEAP if you can't meet your fiber goals with food

    Everybody can meet their fiber needs with food. Don't eat foods without fiber.

    how does fiber help you lose weight ? Doesn't it only help to fill you up and clean you out?

    more whole grains, legumes, fruit, and ruffage and you'll meet those goals without supplementing. Be carefull...don't introduce fiber too quickly if you've not been eating a lot...and can be a bit, ummmm...uncomfortable.

    nanainkent...fiber doesn't allow your body to fully absorb nutrients and the calories that go along with them. Soluble fiber specifically is excellent for your heart health and combatting heart disease.
