A diet rich in fiber? No, it’s not for everyone
Fiber is always a lottery game, and one of the arguments on which studies take sides against or in favor: previously, in fact, some studies had indicated that a diet rich in fiber , with ten servings, and no longer five, of fruit and vegetables a day, it was ideal for losing weight, for a variety of reasons. From the improvement of the intestinal bacterial flora, directly related to weight loss, to an increase in satiety during meals , up to a tendency to burn more calories thanks to the increase in postprandial thermogenesis (see here , here , here ).
Other studies, however, athe advantages of a diet rich in fiber to lose weight were reduced: here two studies opposed to the “fashion of fiber” as a panacea for all ills and a remedy for weight loss, here, a recent study that reduces the daily portions of fruit and vegetables to three useful in losing weight
Experts think about half of the population is one way and half the other. So you have a one in two chance that an increase in fiber could make you lose weight: if after ten days of whole foods, fruit and vegetables in larger quantities and fiber supplements such as glucomannan, psyllium or chia seeds you have not lost weight but on the contrary you feel bloated. and uncomfortable, do not despair: your bacteria work differently.
