get your fiber on

I use the orange flavor metamucil that is sugar free and is made from psyllium fiber.tastes like tang. I take 5g with each full meal and then 5g with one of my protein shakes.(not the post workout one) and try to eat 2 servings of green veggies/day(especially spinach

this is not necessarily for people with diabetes but could be used in prevention and it is healthy nonetheless

Lewd, I've always been a strong stresser of fibre intake as well.
I used to drink Citrucil a ways back.
Now, i put raw oatmeal in with my protein shakes throughout the day.
Celery is a good source of fibre and has no calories and apples will get the parts moving as well.
Everyone needs to be getting at leat 20g of fibre intake a day with the amount of protein we eat a day(shit, with the amount of food we eat a day)
I don't wish an enema on anyone.

I've been doing the metamucil in my protien shake as well....also noticed a major decrease to no stomach upset or problems from the protien now.....never thought to add oatmeal to my shake....that's a thought....
