Your Low Fiber Diet Hurts You in Four Different Categories

  1. Performance & Strength GainZ

  2. Visceral Fat to Muscle Ratio

  3. Health Outlook

  4. Menopause Symptom Severity


So how Much Fiber is “Enough?”

Aim for 25-30 grams per day.

The USDA recommends 21 grams per day.

The American Heart Association recommends 14 grams per 1000 calories eaten per day, or 25-30 grams per day.

This study graph shows the relationship between eating more fiber and lean body mass, with 50 grams per day as the top consumption rate 🤯👉

No specific recommendation exist for (peri- to post-) menopausal women, but it’s evident that - like most things - the less inconsistent we are, the better.
