Question Does Fiber (metamucil) help loose weight?

Hi, I was wondering does Fiber (e.g. Metamucil) help to loose weight? And can it be used while being in a low-carbohydrate diet

The reason behind taking Metamucil or some other fiber supplement is to keep one's bowel movements regular. If you do not eat enough fiber in the way of veggies, taking an added fiber helps move things along.

It is in no way ment as a laxative or fast weight loss medium.

Try phylisium seed. Metramucil has sugar. Fiber keeps the system free flowing and prevents blockage. Thus it helps the system eliminate wastes and toxins and helps your body run more effectively. So it can help the weight loss process. Don' t take it with the idea that it will force more weight loss.
