I can't wrap my head around the logic behind Metamucil.
What's stumping me? The idea that someone would choose to swallow six pills to get a mere three grams of fiber.
That same amount of fiber can be found in:
1 medium apple 1/4 of a medium avocado 1/2 cup cooked broccoli 1/2 cup cooked winter squash 1/2 cup cooked corn 6 Triscuit crackers 1/4 cup kidney beans 3/4 cup oatmeal 1 medium pear 1/2 cup raspberries or blackberries 1 slice whole grain bread
Not only does food taste better than fiber pills, it also provides vitamins and minerals absent from tablets.
