    High fibre hinder your gains?

    Hi guys
    I was watching a tv program the other day and it was talking about how bodybuilders use laxatives to help them cut up. I was wondering if having a high fibre diet would make gaining muscle a lot harder?
    Thing is i am on a high fibre diet and seem to struggle gaining naturally than i used to!

    Cheers
    Dave

    What do you consider high. 30 grams per day is good. I see it as beneficial.

    I believe that the reference made to bodybuilders using laxatives refers to what they do very close to a show when they are trying to lean their bodies out as much as possible. Not a reference or comment on fiber in general.

    In the FLEX arnold edition it has a big article on how essential fiber is to the bodybuilder, actually promoting muscle mass
