I am happy with my 2/3 cup of processed cereal that has psyllium and bran. I would go crazy shopping and storing all those seeds and berries and stuff. Not to mention tracking.

Bless your heart, honey. I am much happier with delicious cherries, pears, and other fruits and veggies that are much tastier than your processed cereal. To each other own, sugar.

Y'all with Wegovy meds and constipation; I mean, I am not on it, so I don't know how bad it is, but a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and I was on the throne three times per day.

Thanks and blessings. A banana and kefir and my buds are bliss. I can't handle shopping and chopping. Too time consuming,

I do it all-
Psyllium husk drink in morning
Chia seed water
All bran with raspberries for snack
Big salad with spinach, avocado, peppers, beans, broccoli florets and olive oil
Whole wheat flax wraps with spinach, mushrooms or another veggie and cheese.
Blueberries

I eat like this and I’m healthy, strong and poop twice a day. I choose not to fill my body with the standard American diet of sugar, fried food and junk. I sometimes use these wraps but prefer Joseph’s brand of flax and oat bran. Fill them up with meat and cheese or they are good with black beans, cheese and avocado too.

The wraps I use

[Anonymous]

The carb balance tortillas have a lot more fiber than those wraps. 18g I think?

Oatmeal only has 5g of fiber per cup (steel cut), but I do eat that many days. Not sure how much the person who claims they get 27g from their oatmeal is eating!

I can’t afford to eat cups and cups of berries every day, personally, but I do try to eat lots of veggies and some beans.

My Dr recommended fiber supplements. I found Sunfiber has been the most tolerable to me (least gas and no taste/not thick) and has a decent amount of fiber (6g). They also recommended the Metamucil fiber wafers which I sometimes eat as a snack/dessert.

Sorry, but that isn’t real food. That is some weird Frankenstein food and I doubt there is any beneficial usable dietary fiber in this ultra processed dumpster fire.

If the person eating the oatmeal is adding in a serving of nuts, a cup of berries, a banana, a serving of seeds, etc. that adds up. You can have a massive fiber infusion in the morning if you get creative with oatmeal add-ins.

Is there an Aldi anywhere nearby where you live? They have very affordable berries. I've lived under the federal poverty level in recent years, but I prioritize high fiber plant based foods that are micronutrient rich because I have to eat that way to maintain my health following a long battle with chronic illness.

I eat a cup of mixed berries every single day - blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. Sometimes if fresh are too pricey, I get frozen and change how I consume them. Berries are so insanely good for you, it's important to try to eat them regularly if you can.

I also recommend looking into all the amazing ways to eat beans for breakfast and beyond. Beans are relatively cheap, especially if you learn to cook them at home from dried, which isn't hard. I food prep on the weekend for the week ahead and one of the things I do is make a batch of homemade vegan refried beans which I have a cup of every day, most often at breakfast because beans in the morning sets me up with a steady level of glucose for many hours across the day.

Beans are the answer. If you add beans into your daily meals, getting to 25g is not an issue. One of those 19g fiber tortillas with some eggs and a serving of beans for breakfast would be 25 grams right there.

CHIA

leafy greens, lots of them each day

1 apple per day

tons of water to make the fiber do its thing inside me!!

Ollipop. Seriously. I know it's bad but I drink one every morning.

What makes you think I don't eat healthily? Healthily and normal is a thing. Disordered and healthy is possible, too. I eat far from the standard American diet. I would bet that many of us in the DMV eat very healthily.
For example, I would never buy some crap whole wheat flax wraps. Sounds like fake food and not healthy at all. Psylim husk is not something people should have in their diet daily.
