My doctor stated he wanted me to lose weight and asked for my diet of everything for a week(NO CHEATING HE SAID), so I wrote down the ice cream, strawberry cheesecake and every single thing I ate. Now I can tell you, I thought I ate pretty well nutritionally (vitamins, mineral, fiber wise), but was amazed at what he said when he went over my reported food intake. He said, this is your culprit right here, not enough fiber. I kind of laughed and said yeah I know no one gets enough fiber. He then explained to me this, did you ever drink on a empty stomach? Well if you have, you know you get intoxicated faster on an empty stomach, because the alcohol is totally absorbed. Whereas ifyou drink on a full stomach, you actually absorb way less alcohol. So I want you to get Metamucil capsules. Take 2 in the morning, 2 at lunch, and 2 at supper. I said yes and I will be spendind half of my life in the bathroom. NO you will not he said . So I got a bottle and tried it. Not changing my diet at all, I lost 10 pounds in 14 days. Several people at work have done this also. Two co-workers got the same info from their doctors. We are all losing weight, without any change in bathroom habits.
The doctor told me years ago people ate more fiber, we didn't have all the fast foods, prepared foods, and sugared products. People were thinner, and that was due to the fact that the fiber intake absorbed and removed some of the fat that would have entered your body. Same principle as that
of alcohol. He said now if you curb your sugar, fats, etc. you will definately lose more weight, but this definately works. And you must drink 8oz. of water with these capsules. Good Luck
