Will drinking “fiber water” help me lose? I was on a message board online where women said they lost weight by drinking a glass of water with Fibersure before meals. I want to try that because I feel like once I start eating I just lose control and can’t stop. Is it safe to do?
Yes, drinking fiber-infused water is a safe appetite suppressant that helps you eat less at meals. While there are a variety of fiber supplements that can be mixed with water, Fibersure ($10 for 34 servings, with 5 grams of fiber per serving, at grocery stores) has an added bonus because it is a form of fiber made from inulin. This prebiotic feeds healthy gut bacteria to help them thrive, which leads to weight loss and improved immunity and GI health. Simply drink 8 oz. to 10 oz. of water with 1 tsp, of Fibersure 10 to 30 minutes before meals. This gives the body enough time to register satiety and ensures the fiber doesn’t hinder absorption of the food’s nutrients.
