Having gained 40 pounds since a hysterectomy a few years ago in spite of a good diet, I'm on a quest to find a solution to help me get back to my formerly svelte self. After reading one weight loss author who promoted psyllium and pro-biotics as one of his secrets to reducing weight and getting rid of belly fat, I was inspired to try his protocol of three servings of fiber supplement per day to push impacted stuff out.
The only problem was that I find psyllium very unpalatable. When shopping for psyllium in capsules, I found this and decided to purchase it instead. It reminds me of when I used to soak and grind up flax seeds and put warm water in it for a breakfast porridge back in my raw food days.
Right now I squeeze a lemon in some warm water and mix in the Raw Fiber and drink it. I find it very nurturing and palatable, but I think I could also add some kind of sweetener in place of the lemon juice in order to turn it into porridge as well.
Since this is the Christmas season and I'm engaging in a little seasonal overeating, I have not really weighed myself to see if I've lost any weight, but I do feel more space in my abdominal areas, as though things are clearing out.
I also like the fact that it also has protein (5 grams per serving) and some omega 3 fatty acids.
I would give it 5 stars, but it is expensive if you want to try doing it three times per day.
