Ok, this is actually kind of funny. I was reading the April 2008 Musclemag and there was a article about burning fat. Had a workout routine, mostly ab work to build some def and cardio for overall cal burning, and a nice little diet plan. The author was really pushing fiber supplementing because the usual high protein diet most of us eat is really shy on the fiber content.
I started going over my diet and you know what, he's right. Other than a bowl of Allbran in the morning, I had almost zero fiber in my diet. So I need to fix that! In the article he recommended Metamucil, 2 servings first thing in the morning and 2 more in the afternoon. I don't like the taste of that stuff so I picked up a bottle of Fibersure. It has NO taste. You can actually mix it with a glass of water and it still taste like plain old water. It's also 5g of fiber per serving, Metamucil is only 3g.
So starts my new addition to the diet plan. My wife, the RD, walks into the kitchen just as I finish downing a shake which now includes 10g of fiber. She sees the bottle and ask what it's all about. I tell her about the article I read and my plans. That is when her professional advice kicks in.
"Don't take a whole serving to start. ease into it slowly. It takes a while for your body to adjust to an increase of fiber intake"
Not something someone who just downed a double dose wants to hear!
My advice, listen to my wife. She is very smart with this kind of stuff. Wow that stuff works fast..... ugh.
