He's not your doctor and he is very much misinformed on what pregnancy requires. You should decide for yourself what to eat and talk with your o.b. about what foods are best in pregnancy. Fast food and ultra processed foods were the food I was advised to avoid in pregnancy, and there was a big emphasis on whole foods and high fiber foods. You are in charge of your body.

Guys please start eating fiber.
Colorectal cancer among people in their 40's is skyrocketing. This recent health fad of obsessing over protein and eating nothing but meat and dairy with almost no fiber is going to kill us. You need fiber, folks. You need a complete diet with grains and tons of vegetables. There are high protein sources that also have great fiber content if you absolutely MUST have your high protein diet. Lentils, beans, peas. Sprouted grain bread. Let's spread the great word of fiber to our fellow millenial friends and get ahead of this growing epidemic among our generation. submitted by /u/Optimoprimo to r/Millennials [link] [comments]

Easy high fiber low effort lunches for work
I work in a very busy environment and have about five minutes to dedicate towards “making“ lunch, and meal prep isn’t a great option for me because we have a food budget at work and I can keep requested groceries on site to use. However, I’m limited to a toaster or microwave for a heat source. I also don’t to buy things that go bad quickly. I m looking for healthier, high fiber, low effort things I can keep and make at work. (Fruits are not a great option because they are expensive and don’t last long, and I do not like overnight oats.) Sorry for such a high maintenance framework…any ideas? submitted by /u/MrsLaVallie to r/EatCheapAndHealthy [link] [comments]

Fiber significantly increases lifespan. Here are the best fiber-rich foods and scientific evidence that they slow down aging and prevent major diseases.
For years, I didn’t think much about fiber. I thought it was just “that thing for digestion” that old cereal commercials talked about. But the truth is, fiber is one of the most powerful longevity boosters we have. And most people are barely getting half of what they need. The science is crystal clear: people who consistently eat enough fiber live longer, stay healthier, and avoid some of the most feared diseases of aging. Large studies, including a massive review in The Lancet, have shown that getting around 25–30 grams of fiber every day can cut your risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even colon cancer by up to 30%. In some cases, high-fiber eaters had a 50% reduction in heart problems. That’s not a small improvement. That’s life-changing. Fiber protects you in so many ways. It lowers bad cholesterol by binding it in your gut so your body can flush it out. It slows down sugar absorption, keeping blood glucose and insulin stable. It feeds your gut bacteria, which produce compounds like butyrate that protect your DNA and lower inflammation. And since inflammation is one of the main drivers of aging, this is a direct link to living longer. Without fiber, your good gut bacteria starve, bad bacteria take over, and chronic inflammation starts burning away at your health. The scary part is that most people are running on empty. The average person is eating less than 15 grams a day: far below the recommended 25–38 grams. This is one of the most common nutrient gaps in the modern diet, and it’s silently shaving years off people’s lives. But the good news is, it’s fixable. The easiest way to fix it is not by obsessing over numbers, but by making small swaps every day. Add berries to breakfast. Swap white bread or pasta for whole grains. Throw a cup of beans into your salad, soup, or dinner. Have a handful of almonds or pistachios in the afternoon. These aren’t huge sacrifices. They’re upgrades. When it comes to the best fiber-rich foods for longevity, some stand out above the rest. Lentils, black beans, and kidney beans are amazing for cholesterol and blood sugar control. Chia seeds and flaxseeds pack incredible amounts of fiber plus omega-3s and cancer-fighting lignans. Raspberries are a double hit of antioxidants and fiber. Oats bring beta-glucan, which is proven to lower LDL cholesterol. Apples, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts give you fiber alongside powerful anti-aging plant compounds. Sweet potatoes add both fiber and carotenoids that protect your metabolism. If you can hit your daily target: 25–28 grams for women, 30–38 grams for men the payoff is huge. Long-term studies show that people who consistently meet these numbers live two to five years longer, with more of those years being active and disease-free. That’s not just adding time to your life. That’s adding quality to your years. submitted by /u/GarifalliaPapa to r/immortalists [link] [comments]

This will sound crazy but supplementing high amount of fiber has been nearly equivalent as a GLP1 in benefits for me
I’ve been taking psyllium husk fiber for about 4 months religiously now. I’ve been dropping weight very consistently. I take much higher doses than I see people posting about though and this may explain why it’s working so well. Most people take 1 tablespoon, I’ve been taking 2 tablespoons 3 times a day. For a total of 24 grams of psyllium fiber. I would not exceed that amount to avoid any constipation issues. I also drink plenty of water. I swear I am never hungry, never craving anything, my blood sugar levels are extremely stable and even if I occasionally over eat I do not get that tired feeling. My poops are amazing. My cholesterol went from 30 points above range to literally at perfect range. My baseline appetite is much lower. Half the amount of foods satisfy me. What I found impressive was, one week I ran out of fiber and I noticed for a few days the benefits continued then I started taking it again. I have taken GLP1 but gained a tolerance and decided to stop. This feels very similar to being on them And it’s a fraction of the cost. submitted by /u/fastingslowlee to r/Biohackers [link] [comments]

How do people get enough fiber in their diet?
The recommended amount for women is around 25 g and for men around 30 g a day, but most people never get close to that amount. You have to eat such a large amount of fruit and vegetables to actually get that amount, and high fiber foods like oatmeal and berries often have textures that are mushy and unpleasant to a lot of people So how exactly do people pack their diet with enough fiber? Are there other high fiber foods that are just not as well known and have more palatable textures ? submitted by /u/DKAlm to r/nutrition [link] [comments]

My husband’s bowels staged a coup after he tried to eat “clean” for three whole days
You know how some couples bond by working out together? Or meal prepping? Or doing morning walks? My husband and I bond by playing daily games of “what new food item will betray his digestive system today.” This week’s installment began when my husband (40M) decided he wanted to “clean up his gut.” Now, this is the same man who once deep-fried a Pop-Tart because he wanted to “experiment.” The same man who thought taking a fiber supplement and eating 20 chicken wings was "balance." So when he suddenly started Googling things like “gut health” and “low FODMAP recipes,” I got nervous. Real nervous. For three days straight, he only ate boiled veggies, brown rice, and something that vaguely resembled tofu but had the texture of a wet band-aid. Then he added a chia smoothie. Because why not throw a gallon of jelly seeds into a system already on strike? Fast forward to night three: We’re in bed. I’m half asleep. He turns to me and says, “Babe my insides feel like they’re gentrifying.” I ask what that even means. He responds by letting out a fart so long and complex it could have been an orchestral overture. I’m talking crescendo, movement changes, and a final brass section that set off the carbon monoxide detector. I left the room. The dog left the room. Even Alexa asked if we wanted to call emergency services. The next day, he started clutching his side like he was in a Shakespeare play and announced that he might have a twisted colon. Not a real diagnosis. Just vibes. So he goes to the gastroenterologist, and after several tests, scans, and what I assume was a high-stakes round of “Name That Smell,” they confirm: IBS. With Lactose Intolerance. And “mild food sensitivity to everything he loves.” Great. He comes home looking like he lost a custody battle with his own colon. But instead of being careful, he takes the new list of “safe foods” and decides that “moderation” is just a polite suggestion. He eats an entire tub of hummus, half a watermelon, and what I’m pretty sure was three servings of Brussels sprouts. All in one sitting. Like a goat. That night, he transformed into a sentient whoopee cushion. I had to Google “how to safely open windows during a storm” just to survive. At one point I honestly thought the walls were breathing. And then came The Great Yogurt Incident. I told him, kindly, to avoid dairy. He nodded. Smiled. Said “I got this.” Then I found him in the kitchen at 2am, double-fisting Greek yogurt and shredded cheddar cheese like some kind of protein goblin. He looked me in the eyes and said, “The probiotics cancel the dairy.” That’s not how science works. That’s not how anything works. Long story short: he’s now grounded from unsupervised grocery shopping, I’ve removed all dairy from the house, and he’s only allowed to have tofu if I’m watching. Also, the dog still won’t sleep in our room. He has PTSD from last Thursday’s cheddar hurricane. Marriage is beautiful. But sometimes it smells like death and poor decisions. submitted by /u/tulynx to r/stories [link] [comments]

YSK to lose weight, fill up with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and non-starchy vegetables. This can trigger satiety without the overload of calories and is more sustainable than going hungry.
Why YSK: many countries have issues with weight, such as mine with 74% of US adults being overweight or obese. The global weight loss industry is over $200 billion yearly, with many influencers, pills, and surgeries promising quick results with little effort. These often come with side effects, or don't work long-term. Studies suggest filling yourself with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and non-starchy vegetables, can help reach and maintain a healthy weight. It's good to have these foods available in our living spaces to make the choice easy. Your taste buds will likely adapt to love them if you're not there yet. submitted by /u/James_Fortis to r/YouShouldKnow [link] [comments]

YSK the importance of dietary fiber. IT can help prevent or relieve constipation. But foods containing fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer.
Why YSK: According to the Mayo Clinic, the benefits of having a high-fiber diet include: Normalizes bowel movements. Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation. If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may help to solidify the stool because it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool. Helps maintain bowel health. A high-fiber diet may lower your risk of developing hemorrhoids and small pouches in your colon (diverticular disease). Studies have also found that a high-fiber diet likely lowers the risk of colorectal cancer. Some fiber is fermented in the colon. Researchers are looking at how this may play a role in preventing diseases of the colon. Lowers cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber found in beans, oats, flaxseed and oat bran may help lower total blood cholesterol levels by lowering low-density lipoprotein, or "bad," cholesterol levels. Studies also have shown that high-fiber foods may have other heart-health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure and inflammation. Helps control blood sugar levels. In people with diabetes, fiber — particularly soluble fiber — can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels. A healthy diet that includes insoluble fiber may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Aids in achieving healthy weight. High-fiber foods tend to be more filling than low-fiber foods, so you're likely to eat less and stay satisfied longer. And high-fiber foods tend to take longer to eat and to be less "energy dense," which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food. Helps you live longer. Studies suggest that increasing your dietary fiber intake — especially cereal fiber — is associated with a reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and all cancers.
