While added fiber is good, there is some decent evidence that whole food based fiber is very critical also. And a variety of fiber. People should also be aware that so many fiber supplements are full of sugar. I really like the one you recommended years ago, but it's 100 calories for 5g fiber, which to me is mildly concerning. But it's as close as I get to eating a cookie. Moriah loves these, and again, everyone should consider the calories/sugar too. https://smile.amazon.com/Rip-Wafels-Non-GMO-Caramel-Vanilla/dp/B073FPZ61K?sa-no-redirect=1 It's one of the least shitty deserts you could go for, however. 3 hours ago, DBLXX said: I've taken a fiber supplement for the past 11 years.

DBLXX Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Post HA - my appetite is gone and so is the joy of eating. I eat when I’m starving - even then I feel guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Substitute nutritious foods, no reason for guilt, and good reason to feel good about it. So many options out there from cracking an avocado to a can of beans and spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recommendation is to eat small meals about 5 times a day. That way your body doesn't go in to starvation mode and your body will burn fewer calories. Have protein bars, nuts, fruits, etc to fill in for eating every few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBLXX Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I love Siggis... I hate the price but still buy it. My wife eats the cheap stuff. Likes it better. I toss in a little home made granola, blue berries, half a banana, some shit called flax seed and chia. I don't particularly like either of those...but I eat what I am told. LOL I know you are a bit of a health nut... so... thank you for approving the picture. We hit 5 different farm stands every Sunday... who sell from their farms. Love fresh shit. Butter Nut Squash, Butter Not Squash, Fresh Beats, Carrots and Radishes. LOVE THEM ALL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 The shrimp burgers are simple. 2 slices Dave's famous nutty bread toasted and then mulched up instead of bread crumbs. Take half the shrimp and blend it to a puree, the other half chunk it. 2 Eggs Smoked pap, fresh garlic, onion powder, chili powder, a little low salt old bay, and 2 brown eggs. 1 table spoon avacado oil Make burgers.... Air Fry @ 380 for 15 minutes. DAYUM !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Oh, serve with an arugula salad with lemon Dijon mustard dressing. Nice nutty salad with the shrimp burgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
