A less common problem is when a person eats too much fiber too quickly, which can cause digestive problems. It is important to consume the right amount of fiber each day, spread throughout the day. High-fiber foods are an essential part of a healthful weight loss diet, and meeting the daily recommended intake of fiber can provide many health benefits. Read on for the official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary guidelines, fiber recommendations for weight loss, and tips and a meal plan to help you meet your daily recommended fiber intake. Daily recommended fiber intake Share on Pinterest Most people fall short of the recommended amount of fiber they should include in their diet. Fiber is the carbohydrate component of plant-based foods that is not digested or absorbed as it moves through the intestine. The optimal amount of daily fiber intake varies depending on a person’s age and sex. The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend the following approximate daily intake: adult men require about 34 grams (g) depending on their age adult women require about 28 g depending on their age Intakes of fiber are modified for certain groups as energy requirements vary at different life stages. For example, it is recommended that children consume less than adults, with the following lower and upper bounds representing females and males respectively: teenagers aged 14 to 18 require 25.2–30.8 g

Read More »Recommended fiber intake for weight loss Share on Pinterest Eating fiber-rich food can help reduce cravings and aid weight loss. People who want to lose weight are often encouraged to eat fiber-rich foods because they tend to be low in calories, high in nutrients, and make a person feel full for longer. By adding bulk and slowing digestion, fiber stops a person feeling hungry and minimizes cravings, which is useful when trying to lose weight. Estimates say that only 5 percent of Americans meet their daily fiber requirements. Eating more dietary fiber, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes is an essential part of maintaining a healthy weight. Research shows, however, that merely increasing fiber, mainly through eating more plant-based foods, is not enough on its own for weight loss. When trying to lose weight, start by aiming to reach the recommended daily allowance by basing meals around fiber-rich foods and including regular exercise. Be careful with the promise of high fiber dietary supplements promoting weight loss. There is very little evidence to support the claims. How much fiber is too much? When increasing the amount of fiber in the diet, it is best to start slowly, increasing it gradually to allow the digestive system time to get used to it. Consuming too much fiber, especially very quickly or over a short space of time, is not recommended. Eating more than 70g per day is not advised and can lead to adverse effects. Consequences of consuming too much fiber include: bloating, gas, and cramping
