[quote=Anonymous]I’m not criticizing anyone using psyllium, it’s better than not getting enough fiber and suffering constipation. However the psyllium doesn’t have the micronutrients that whole fiber rich foods have, including chia seeds. So it’s always best to feed the gut nutrient rich fiber sources because those nutrients also play a large role in overall health and curbing appetite because a well nourished gut and brain don’t crave constantly. By well nourished I mean nutrients, not calories. There are tens of millions over overweight and obese Americans who are malnourished despite obvious over abundance of calorie intake. This is why CICO is not really a useful tool in weight management, because not all calories are equal and nutrient poor calories can be eaten in large quantities and never shut off the body’s hunger signaling because the body is screaming for essential micronutrients that are absent from the diet. The key to good health and weight management is nutrient dense high fiber foods. Beans are always a great place to start. [/quote]
