How much fiber do i need per day to help control and lose my weight?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Just to feel fuller: Eating foods or drinking drinks that contain fiber can help with weight loss only if they don't increase the total amount of calories eaten per day. For example, mixing water with powdered fiber to make a drink will cause a person to feel fuller and have less appetite (can be helpful). However, mixing fiber with fruit juice will give a person lots of sugar calories along with fiber (won't help!).

25-40 gram per day: Advantages – reduced risk of most cancers – protective against heart disease – improved lipid profiles – reduced GI problems – reduction in appetite.
