    I have both psyllium fiber and bran fiber on hand, and I'll add it as I'm cooking... having mashed potatoes but low for fiber for the day? in goes the bran fiber along with the savory or whatever spice I'm adding. Don't notice it (taste wise) but it sure helps.

    I eat veggies almost every time I eat something. That really helps. Adds in a good bit of vitamins, too. Like this thread.:smile:

    Fruits and Veggies and some supplementation...http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=youlighter&pid=1223433926891&start=null&cid=620966&LocaleSelect=en_US&_requestid=45917... This is a powder that you can mix into just about anything and it gives me 2.5g of soluble and 2.5g of insoluable fiber per serving...The apple is GREAT warm (taste like cider).

    Hope that helps to make YOULIGHTER!

    a sliced banana with bran cereal on top (so the cereal doesn't sit in the milk and go mushy) and soy milk gets me 20g

    apples are 3-4g

    the yoghurt i buy has soluble fibre added 2-3g

    wholegrain bread 4-5g for two slices

    veges for another 3-10g depending on what and how much

    I often bake bran muffins too, they're yummy, and I like the Quaker fibre bars.

    Remember you want about 1/2 soluble and 1/2 insoluble fibre, and natural sources are best as they fill you up.


    march 15th was my most recent good fibre day, but I didn't have any veges at dinner that day so it could have been higher pretty easily, the 14th was good too with veges
