I'm a level III on the nutrition and I'm doing the portion plan. It calls for one block of carbs and each day I eat a sandwich with 2 slices of whole grain bread. I know there is fiber in the vegetables and other foods that I eat, but I still don't feel like I'm getting enough. Is anyone doing any type of fiber suppliments like metamucil? I'm following the portion plan to the letter, but I really would like to pull in some extra fiber without messing up the fat shredder phase. Should I suck it up for the month and wait until the 2nd phase to increase my fiber? I'm currently in week 2 right now.

I wondered about that too, but I've been doing fine with the carb serving and eating my green veggies. Here's a suggestion: Thomas's makes an english muffin that's whole grain, 100 calories and each one has 8 grams of fiber (a lot!). Since two of these count as one carb serving, there's 16g of fiber a day, not including what I'm getting from the veggies.

Thanks for the tip. I'm really tempted to throw in a bowl of Fiber One cereal. One bowl of that stuff gets you half the fiber you need in a day. I know they also have the whole grain bread with extra fiber... I will have to see which one offers more and go with that option.

I use a fiber supplement called "Colonix", so I haven't noticed any problems. I also make sure I drink LOTS OF WATER.

I have used that product before and it worked great!! I don't have the bottle anymore. Is there a substantial carb count in that fiber powder? I'm trying to avoid going over my alloted 1 block of carbs for the first phase.

I decided I need the product no matter what, so I just ignored what the carbs were. The website shows Carbs 10g, Fiber 8g. I still had my tiny bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
