I calorie count for weight loss via MFP. I've lost over a stone and finding it very easy this way.

To combat the odd chocolate fix I've found 'Fibre One' bars in Asda.
They taste really good for the 87 calories....
..... but damn do they clear you out.
Just wanna check if anyone's experienced their effects ha.
I pooped out every little bit of poop left inside me with ease. And then pump a lot now. Eek.

Sweetener has that affect. You're better off with some high cocoa dark chocolate.

Mmnm Donuts - well done on the weight loss. I've lost half stone on MFP since coming off hol

I saw those bars and fancied them. I still do if they taste nice despite the extra poop (least you'll weigh even less Grin).

Is the regularity due to the sweeteners or fibre though?

Wierdly I have been eating one of these every day, am on a diet and I am enoying them. For some unknown reason I am having the opposite problem.

I like them, no side effects
Morrisons had lemon and salted caramel flavour in too

They're just over 5g fibre each, which really isn't going to be enough to alter how much you poo (unless your diet was very lacking in fibre before - as you track on MFP, how much is a typical day's intake?)

I agree with the posters who say it'smore likely to be a reaction to a sweetener.

I've bought these quite a lot, they're really nice (don't taste 'low calorie' :-) ). Have never had a problem with any laxative effect - are you sure its them, rather than something else you ate, or a mild bug?

I just started eating fibre one bars yesterday and since then I been going to the bathroom a lot. I definitely work. They are really good but I am having tummy cramps I think I eat to many of them yesterday
