I was put on a high-fiber diet by my doctor to help ease symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I recently started eating fiber fortified cereal and yogurt, drinking fiber fortified slim fasts with my meals, and choosing high-fiber foods all around. It has been only a few days since I started this new form of eating, and I have been very gassy and I’ve had an upset stomach. Is this in any way related to my new diet, and if so, when can I expect my body to get used to the new diet I’m eating? Also… is a high fiber diet going to make me feel more satisfied after meals? I am a vegetarian and often find myself over eating snacks because my main courses are not filling enough.

will i lose alot of weight or maintain with that amount of fiber, i do exercise too every day mainly its all the fiber from the cereal fiber one.

I know the Atkins Diet works, but I could not stick to it. I am trying the high fiber diet, I should say eating 100% whole grains and high fiber veggies and beans.

I have Diabetes type 2. If I eat whole grains they are "high" in carbs so how can I lose weight. Whole grain foods and legumes are all high in carbs. They are also very high in calories. What is the benefit of eating healthy when I cannot lose weight eating all these carbs? I need to lose 40 pounds.

I am very confused as to what to eat. Is Atkins the best, of course for short-term. Are whole grains helping me lose weight? Should I do a low-calorie diet and of course low-carbs and no sugar. Nothing is working for me.

My Diabetes is under control and that is not the problem, losing weight is because I am not sure how to diet.

What about 1000 calories a day? That would eliminate meat with 0 carbs. How about salads, yogurt and whole grain bread?

I need to know what to eat to lose weight.
Good point. I would like to gain three years of my life having sex. So tell me, where do I find an old man my age. ha ha Thanks.

I eat an extremely high fiber diet– lots of fruits, veggies, whole-grains, nuts, and seeds. Every morning I eat a spoon of roasted flaxseeds. Sometimes I end up having to go to the bathroom (#2 that is) 3 times in one day (seriously!). I don’t know if this is healthy? I’ve read somewhere that too much fiber might move the food too quicky through your body for it to absorb the nutrients. Is this true? And using the bathroom that often is probably not so good, right?
