I have been on a High fiber diet for over a year, lost 23 pounds, blood sugar in control. I drink Metamucil 3 times a day and eat a lot of beans and bran.

Check this site for a list of other foods:

Grannie, Don't take Metamucil it has sugar and aspartame an
artificial sweetener linked to many bad things. Check it out on Healthy.net The beans and bran are fine. You can buy physillium
buy itself.

That is true, I tried taking the capsules did not work for me. I need to look for a better form.

I can't tolerate beans or bran so I eat lots of fruit and veg.

Gentle hugs, Linda

Beans do not bother me (raised on them) however, I still don't like the bran but I put it in the blender with yogurt and fruit and make a smoothie out if it, that is good.

Fruit and veggie is always a great choice.

Dava the Metamucil I use does not have aspartame in it, they have two kinds, you have to read the label on them.

Whats the correct Metamucil type that you use Grannie ? Does it have sugar ?

Fiber One bars have 9 gm. of fiber and fewer calories than a candy bar. Good for the occasional snack.
