THE DARK SIDE OF FIBER
Transcript
Everyone is telling you what to eat for your fiber. I'm gonna teach you about the dark side of fiber. Fiber is the goat for keeping you full, helping you poop, and overall metabolic health. But fiber isn't all sunshine and thick logs. Fiber has a dark side, and here's what you need to know. Too much soluble fiber too quickly can result in bloating and gas from your gut bacteria fermenting fiber too fast. So what can we do? Spread your fiber throughout the day to avoid becoming a fart monster. Too much insoluble fiber without water can lead to bricks stuck inside your bum bum. So make sure to hydrate accordingly with your insoluble fiber. And lastly, excess amounts of soluble fiber is gonna give you chocolate rain by pulling in too much water into your gut. This often happens when you eat things like sugar free gummies, which have almost a 100% of your daily value of fiber in a pack. If you're gonna eat these, spread it out throughout the day or else. Welcome to the dark side of fiber. Follow and let me know if this is helpful.
