Fiber Guide:
Bloating.
Cravings.
Unstable energy.
Weight that won’t move.
Most women assume these problems are about calories, carbs, or hormones.
But there’s one nutrient quietly influencing blood sugar, appetite, gut health, and hormone balance that almost no one is paying attention to.
And many women are getting far less of it than they think.
In this episode, we break down the different types, how they work inside the body, and why this overlooked nutrient could be playing a much bigger role in your metabolism than you realize.

60 year-old post-menopause here. I’m doing a keto/low-carb approach. I’m six weeks in with much success.
—fat loss, (belly fat mostly), muscle and joints pain relieved and my mood is much more improved. However, although I do eat a good amount of leafy greens, asparagus, and some berries, I needed to implement more fiber into my diet and just recently discovered basil seeds. I’m using them instead of Chia seeds in a pudding and a small amount of wild blueberries and I love it.
Focusing on getting at least 35g fiber every day and 120g protein. So important for weight loss, heart and colon health and especially hormone balance!
I’ve tried to get your fiber list more than 5 times and it doesn’t send to my email 😢. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!!! Love your videos!!!
Great insight 💖
A new subscriber here 👍
The scale stalled for me and I started to increase my calories which scared me but had to just trust the science. The one thing that I did differently was sequence. I eat my fiber first for every meal and I do it before hand so it has time to reach my stomach and do the magic. The scale moved. And now its been a loss every day. I did bloat and the first 2 days I felt over full but I was patient. It resolved itself and I felt all the benefits.
Very helpful. Thank you.
If only I could digest fiber … combo IBS sufferer here🤦🏽♀️
Great video. So informative. Thank you 😊
Thanks 😊
Fermentables…. 😬 I immediately bloat REALLY bad when I eat fermentables
Eating whole foods work for me, I never feel hungry or have cravings
I have CSID and cannot have fiber. It's just easier not to eat than it is to deal with all of restrictions.
U don't need fiber for fat loss🙄
Don’t speak on something you know nothing about. You don’t need fiber to lose weight. I lost 40 lbs on the carnivore diet.
I’m pretty sure the French style pastries, Tillamook Dark Chocolate Cookies and Cream, and cheese are what are keeping me from losing weight. 😂😂
VERY helpful!
Oh you need to come to Saint Lucia to know how to eat green bananas! 😅
17:30 – OMG, this. "I'm eating more fiber, I'm eating healthier. Why am I backed up and why is the scale going up 😭" that in conjunction with intermittent fasting which can also back you up… Yeah.
Yes!! definitely listen to her sound advice. As a 59 year old female in post menopause, the gift of hormones keep on giving. Just saying 🙂 Was on Keto for 2 years along with IF & prolonged fasting lost 30 lbs BUT, my cholesterol went through the roof with an ApoB of 163 over all Cholesterol 321, zero plague on CT scan. Lack of fiber, low carbs & saturated fat (butter, cream, cheese) sent my numbers over the top with a doctor breathing down my back trigger happy with statins. Went on Mediterranean Food Plan & building in 25-30 grams a fiber a day. We shall see, cause conventional medicine loves to push the drugs.
I have IBS and Adenomysis, I cannot do a high fibre diet, or even a moderate amount of fibre. I’m bloated, tired, headaches, hives and just don’t feel good at all. I’m 46, on HRT for the last year which has improved my mood, night sweats etc. Testosterone started about 6 weeks ago which has really helped my energy levels. I’d love to eat more fruit and vegetables but they just don’t like me! I can handle some blueberries or raspberries in overnight oats, potatoes and green beans 😢

Thanks for the video.
It takes alot of effort to get these out there, cant satisfy everyone.
I was fasting 14 – 16 hours daily, break it with 2 poached eggs, avo and 1 piece of toast, no butter.
Then my next meal was at 5.30pm, healthy and homemade, meat n veg.
I never lost weight, if I did slightly, it just came back.
I started eating Red Tractor Oats with Chia and instead of the eggs, and have been losing consistently, no wait gain.
Were all different so one thing doesnt fit all.
Give the girl a break..
Nice info, so what you read it. I would struggle getting all that info out.
Good job and dont stop the good work 😊
Excellent content !!!
Recipe for the white chicken chili please?😊
How does it work if you only have your small intestine & no colon ?
The list never arrived in my email. 😢
Interesting. I've just watched a video stating fibre is not required for fat loss. Who to believe?
Eating beans or lentils three times a day and lost 14 lbs in 12 weeks, I have reached my goal weight .I feel full all day, and never even think to snack. I also have been plant based for 15 years,and was vegetarian for 15 years before I went plant based. I eat flax seed, avocado, fruit, and lots of veggies , potatoes and sweet potatoe, I make a shake with white beans, flax seed, two dates, almond milk, and frozen bananas, it is so delicious and you can’t even taste the beans, but it makes the smoothies so creamy
This is definitely something I can finally agree with. I notice when I eat colorful salads, my waistline is in check as well as my digestion. I have no gallbladder, so I need all the help i can get. The problem is that groceries have gotten so expensive and having fresh veggies on hand all the time is not easy to do. And what about winter time when many summer veggies are not in season? What are we to eat to keep the weight off?
Thankyou so much for this, have had issues with fiber and so on this is so helpful!
Can't eat most of those cause of SIBO. 😔
Lost 170 pounds without any fiber! Beef butter bacon eggs only!
This is so true, I have increased my fiber and the scale is tipping. My fiber is mainly from beans (garbanzo, pintos), chia, avocado, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, nuts, oranges, apples. I eat whole foods 90 percent of the time.
Low carb, higher fat, sufficient protein diet with low fiber is less inflammatory for a lot of people and your body produces GLP-1 and resets satiety hormones . Fiber is not as necessary in this diet. I enjoy your content 😀
Good content until u called Green banana disgusting. , i don’t think that’s called for . What happened to Taste and preferences?
straight to the point too much talking
The best way to lose weight is alternate day fasting, everything else is just noise.
I'm going to try the Ray Peat suggestion of boiled white button mushrooms and shredded raw carrot salad. Plus cruciferous veggies and broccoli sprouts, and leeks. I like beans, but my blood sugar does. Lentils are the safest for me
Hmmm, maybe that’s what happened to me when I made the most delicious lentil kale soup! I inhaled it!! A day or two later the exact same symptoms you describe after your white bean chili! THE PAIN!! It was so scary! I still have 4-bowls of it in the freezer and was going to offer them to someone after swearing off lentils… but maybe I’ll try one with no other fiber that day just to see🤔 Wishing myself luck; I’m salivating thinking about it😂😂
Low carb diets don't necessarily exclude fibre. Plenty of low carb veggies, the non starchy kinds can be included
So tired of all the different info from all these different people. Now we're supposed to eat potatoes? Nah
Registered 3 times … still no list. Checked junk and not there either. 🤷🏼♀️
Why didn’t anyone tell us this before
For #4 – Purpose. The example you gave of you and your spouse makes it seem as your purpose has to always be done together. I don’t think this is so. Did I understand you incorrectly?
Estrogen detox? What the heck. I quit listening after these two words.
Halfay in and dont understand anything and still unsure what to do about it
I really like your content, you get straight to the topic. You don't babble 😊very informative.
