“I’m Prioritising Fibre Like it’s Protein” #why

Prioritising fibre in your diet is one of the best things you can do for your overall health — it supports digestion, helps control blood sugar, reduces cholesterol, and protects against a range of chronic diseases. But while the benefits are clear, jumping too quickly from a low-fibre to a high-fibre diet can backfire.

Suddenly increasing fibre intake can overwhelm your digestive system, especially if your gut bacteria haven’t had time to adjust. This can lead to side effects like bloating, cramping, gas, and even constipation — the opposite of what most people are aiming for. That’s why it’s important to gradually increase fibre over time, giving your body space to adapt.

A good approach is to slowly add more fibre-rich foods like whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and seeds into your meals while also increasing your water intake. This helps the fibre move smoothly through your system and reduces the chances of discomfort. The goal is long-term consistency, not a sudden overhaul — and your gut will thank you for it.

Everything in moderation. Protein, Fiber, etc. Diets should be individualized, not one size fits all

Sprinkling ground flax on my food has made a big difference.

*dont forget that it helps your gut health, and by extension your mental health because the gut plays a big influence on mental health*

Greatly reducing sugar, at the same time, will help to adjust faster- and slash the smell. I am not recommending full sugar-free, but cutting out most sugar will help considerably

I ear dehydrated pears...omg they are the perfect fiber food. A few pear halves and you've got 30g of fiber.

[noahsabin]

High fiber keeps the weak-willed away. Gas is your forcefield.

I always know when im missing fibre because im regular when my fibre is good but when im lacking its less frequent 😅

[longlivebeans]

Upping my fiber (gradually) was the best decision I ever made for my health. 10/10 recommend.

Could you make a few more videos on gut microbiome? I would find that extremely useful.

I already said this on the last video on fibre, it's so important to understand the difference between soluable and insoluble fibre. Because the latter can cause digestive issues and even constipation.
So instead of whole grains the focus should be fresh fruit and veggies that are easy to digest. Nothing hydrates our cells like water rich foods either, so they are important for many reasons, not just fibre.

Always drink 🍸 your fluids just before or during your meal to help prevent bloating, & chew your food properly

I tried eating the recommended fiber. Did it for a while.. with rampup and everything, not sudden.. eventually after about a year or so, I had digestion was so messed up i had 2 colonoscopies before 25 years old and gastritis.

I think its important to mention that some will have success with high fiber, that some cannot handle it. I forced the high fiber for so long and didnt consider it was the source of my health issues because of the dogmatic way its preached as a cure-all. The risk of colon cancer is still really low.. diet has to be individualized.
I was told by gastro i cant handle fiber well. Ofc simple carbs arent great, but my solution is meat based keto which regulstes my digestion, weight, bloating, all measures taken by blood tests, etc just fine and i have a low fiber intake.

I would love to see a video where you show what you eat in a day

[dxspx]

I recently just shifted from carbs to fibr/protein diet. I'm really feeling good currently. And also, I do fast regularly.

[lyndaboonstra]

Beans must always be accompanied by kombucha according to my gut. If I skip it, the agony lasts three days.

[BladeGorilla]

Ya, no. Had to work with a dude that ate 2lbs of salads every meal, had for years. His gut never stopped making noise and holding a ladder for him was hell. All day breaking wind with no apology or notice.

[adsoclasally]

Bro said downwind and now Pumba and Timone are crying and singing nd I can't make it stop 😂😂😂

Please talk about medical omerta, which is when doctors refuse to blow the whistle on negligent doctors, or refuse to make a diagnosis which may get a negligent doctor in trouble. Doctors close ranks on patients who have been hurt by doctors. Theres an old saying "Doctors hang together, nurses hang themselves".

I get digestion issues if I go from too little fiber to like... my regular, higher level of fiber again, but otherwise, my ~30-45g fiber a day diet makes me feel more active and actually stops me from being bloated and gassy. When I'm low fiber for a while, a serving of cabbage messed with me, when I'm more high-fiber, I can eat half a head of cabbage, a can of beans and an apple without any bloating or other issues.
