Add Fiber the Easy Way

Benefiber

     There's no way the typical person can get all the fiber they say you need, 30-35 grams a day. Let's just take that as fact. You could sit down and have 9 apples, but are you going to eat 9 apples in a day? Besides, that's a lot of carbs. Even if you were on a low carb diet, it's not likely that you can get that much fiber. Salad has little fiber unless there's beans or avocado in them.
     There are fiber supplements out there and I enjoy Benefiber the best. It's tasteless, it's not gritty and you can add it to your coffee, tea, soup, baked goods or whatever (just don't add it to carbonated beverages). It's made from wheat dextrin, which is fiber from wheat. It doesn't make you go. It makes it easier to go.
     I add two teaspoons (3 grams of fiber) to my morning tea. So, this is the ritual. I steep the tea, I add two small scoops of stevia, two teaspoons of Benefiber and I pour in some half and half. And it's great, especially if you're having a few sugar-free Oreos with your tea!
     The directions say to take it three times a day, which would give you 9 extra grams of fiber a day. I am finding that I get benefits from taking it only once a day. Thanks, Benefiber!
