    Thanks, I guessed about as much. Good thing I was joking and just planning to buy some normal supplements and think about beans and vegetables more.

      Yeah, vegetables and fruits are the way to go. Fiber is complex and is attached to a host of other non essential nutrients condusive to good health. Fiber supplements simply don’t have it.

      Eat a fruit with everymeal, add a bigger portion of veggies. Snack on dried fruits. Use beans/lentils. Go for whole grains.

      Do it slowly, introduce small changes over time.

        I wish the vast majority of fruits didn’t just taste plain gross to me. Or that vegetables were tastier and more filling. But I suppose it’s time to get creative.

          Vegetables can be very tasty, it all depends how they are cooked and also how your taste buds have adapted over time. If you’ve eaten mostly highly palatable processed foods, fruits and vegetables will taste bland for a while until your taste buds adapt. But the good news is that they can adapt :)
