How does a high fiber diet compare to a regular but healthy diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same thing: A fiber-enriched diet is a healthy diet, as referenced to weight management, cholesterol management, and for GI health--e.g. 25grams daily of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and/or commercial fiber supplements. I'm curious... What's your definition of a "regular but healthy diet" without fiber?
