The sweet spot nutritionist look for is 25g. I better reduce it to 30g but also need my 5 a day. |

WP - Just had a quick look on the Internet, all say 30g is the recommended intake. No harm in eating more than that unless it does cause you problems, bloating etc. |

Hello all, glad to see this thread hasn’t died a death! I’m bobbling along doing my thing. Not really losing much weight, but not gaining either. I’ve been going through a phase where it has been harder to stick to both my eating and fasting plans, and eating off-plan foods (sometimes in large quantities) became more frequent. So I am focussing on food quality, not snacking, and engaging with my emotional drives around food. While I do that, I have eased off on fasting, just doing 3x24 hour fasts a week. I think my shape is continuing to change slowly, though - she said hopefully! Oh - I swore off sugar again on 2nd March, and have stuck to that so far. My only exceptions (which I decided at the start) are 85% dark chocolate and the bit of sugar in baked beans or certain ready-to-eat meals - which I’m prepared to allow because they are so infrequent. But no cakes, puddings, sweets etc. |

RevB - good to hear you're doing OK. I was a bit concerned when you didn't clock in for your usual monthly update. Not losing much, but not gaining is fine. The body has to adjust to the smaller you, and that takes time. Hope your 10k training is going well. |

30 g for fibre is a good target, although the health benefits should continue to increase with increased intake. However, you should try to increase slowly, so guts can get used to it and there are different types that have different effects (and I'm not talking about soluble vs insoluble). Cereals have different fibre to all other fruit and veg, which is more porous to digestive enzymes. Check out figure 5 of this paper: sciencedirect.com (it is one of mine, so I might be biased). Whereas nuts and legumes are less porous: cambridge.org This may affect things like bloating as it affects where nutrients are released and fermented. |
