We wouldn’t go as far to say that fibre is anything exciting, but it does play a crucial role in losing weight and keeping a happy, healthy body.
Fibre is so important for your digestive system, which is ironic because our bodies aren’t capable of digesting fibre itself, but it does end up in your colon to help the good bacteria do its thing to keep you healthy.
It Will Help You Lose Weight
This is what we’re after! Even if the only dietary change you make is increasing your fibre intake, you’ll see the scale drop.
A study completed in the Annals of Internal Medicine saw that people who consumed at least 30 grams of fibre a day, without any other dietary directions, lost a significant amount of weight! This is because fibre-rich foods keep you fuller for longer, stopping you from overeating. Fibre also prevents your body from absorbing some of the calories in the foods you eat!
The Lady Shake knows fibre is a friend — one serving of our shakes alone contains 6g of dietary fibre, so by having two shakes a day we’ve almost covered half of your recommended daily intake!
It Will Help Maintain Your Weight Loss
That’s right, it’ll help you lose it AND keep it off! This is because it keeps your gut bacteria healthy, which in turn promotes overall fat loss by reducing your appetite. Remember, fat loss is what you want on your weight loss journey, it’s not all about the number on the scale. Have a read on weight loss vs fat loss here!
It Will Make Your Gut Happy
We’ve touched on our friend fibre playing an important role in the digestive process and that’s because it helps keep your gut healthy and balanced. Your gut is almost like your second brain — if your gut is unhappy, you’ll be unhappy! Gut health is linked to your mental health, so load up on the fibre and reap the benefits of a happier, healthier you.
