I watched a short video this morning saying that piling on fiber without enough fluid can make constipation worse instead of better, and my first thought was great, so my fiber gummies have basically been a rounding error with good marketing. I'm 15 months in, down 58 lb, but the last eight or nine weeks the scale has barely moved and my gut has been sluggish enough to make me cranky.
I already do oatmeal most mornings, a pear or berries at lunch, and a big salad at dinner, plus a 25-minute walk after work. The video made me wonder if I'm just adding powder on top of low water and calling it a plan.
Not looking for a protocol, just curious what actually helped other people get regular without turning every meal into a bran project.
