Besides helping you shit and counter act carbs, what does fiber do? I eat like 50g of it a day.
it helps clear out cholesterol
Anything else?
no
fiber is made of cellulose which your body cant digest at all...... it just acts as a solid substance to move things in your intestines along
Fiber can't be digested too easily, so doesn't have calories, and staves off hunger
>>63266why can't things move along without fiber? i never really understood it's necessity. just that you're supposed to eat it is all.
>>63235I eat this stuff every morning. Delicious, IMO.It takes more calories to process fiber than many other nutrients (thermogenic effect). Hence, it's beneficial if you're dieting.
fiber also keeps you from getting constipated
How does it "counteract carbs"I thought it just slowed their intake.What does that do?
