Fiber easy wins

[MuesliMusings]

Anyone want to share ‘fibrous’ tips? I’m into my second month of WeGovy and starting to think properly about fiber for the first time in my life (!). I just found out that by adding 50g raspberries to my usual breakfast of museli and Greek yoghurt I can add 3.5g fiber, more than doubling the fiber content, for only 25 calories and it tastes delicious too!

Any other easy wins to share anyone?

Cinnamon is a really easy win. A teaspoon of ground cinnamon has 1.6g fibre. Calories are pretty much not worth counting, I think it's about 5 per teaspoon.

Kiwi, particularly if you can eat the skin as well, are a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre. Golden kiwi are almost as good as the green ones if like me you find the green ones to be vile!

I eat homemade soup most days, that definitely helps but gets a bit boring sometimes.

I add chia and golden flaxseed to everything I can. They fill me up more and add a good dose of fibre. Just had some in cottage cheese as part of my lunch but I also add them to any yogurt I eat or even to scrambled eggs.

I second chia and flaxseeds. I add them to my greek yoghurt and fruit.

Yes to chia,also decent dark chocolate

I add chia seeds and prunes to All Bran.

Ooh, interesting tips - thank you. Especially cinnamon- I had no idea.

Strawberries, 150g is 5.5g fibre, and the size of some of the strawberries currently, doesn't take much to get them and about 45 calories

I have a pint of water every day with a heaped teaspoon of psyllium husk and one of Inulin. Adds about 12g of fibre in one go. After decades of sluggish digestion, I have honestly never felt better.
