How to not feel hungry all the time..
wrote in message
... Not that I recall, but I sure could have missed The Fiber Diet or whatever they called it. You know I have looked at fiber supplements and even bran, metamucil, etc. before, but I was kinda confused about why there were calories listed for it. If it's fiber there shouldn't be calories. Then I figured out that it has other stuff in it, so there will be a few calories in the product. Actually, I think that soluble fiber is counted as calories and that's what those powdered supplements are. Insoluble fiber, like wheat bran, is very low calorie. http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/que...lefibercal.htm "According to the FDA, soluble fiber is listed on food labels as having calories because it does, in a roundabout way, contribute calories to the body. This is because most soluble fiber is used by the bacteria in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids which, in turn, are used by the body. These calories do not raise blood sugar, so when counting carbs, those in soluble fiber (like insoluble fiber) don't count towards the total. This same situation is also true of oligosaccharides, which may or may not also be listed as fiber." -- Liz |
