how much fiber should someone eat in a day?how much is in apples, carrots, celery and any other common fruits and vegitables you can think of?is there an unhealthy dose of fiber? can you eat too much and get sick from it?
You could but you will have to trim your layers because they are going to be a wierd shapeGood luck and make sure it doesn't overflow.
Do you have a cast iron pan (such as from Lodge)? They are great for cooking cakes- though unless you have two you will have to do it twice!
Great question The average person should consume between 25 and 30 grams of fiber a dayYou should aim to get a good mix of soluble fiber and non-soluble fiberTo do this requires eating a diverse diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grainsDietary fiber is important because it helps move food through the digestive system, absorbing water and making defecation easierIt also has other health benefits (especially soluble fiber), such as reducing blood pressure, cholesterol and reducing the risk of certain cancers, especially colon cancerFiber can also help stabilize blood sugar levels by reducing the glycemic load of certain foodsGood sources of fiber include apples (including the skins), whole grain cereals like oatmeal, nearly all fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains like barley, wheat and brown riceAnd yes, you can eat too much fiber, although aside from some gastrointestinal upset, you'll probably get over it pretty quicklyIf you have not been including much fiber in your diet, the best approach is to add it in slowly so that your body adjustsAlso, try to spread your fiber consumption out across your meals - it's more beneficial than consuming the majority in one or two meals Make sure you are also drinking plenty of waterIf you are taking fiber supplements, be aware that they require additional water consumption to avoid choking (in the case of psyllium - Metamucil) and you shouldn't take them on a full stomach after eating since they can expand several times their original volume as they absorb waterExcessive fiber consumption (especially in the form of supplements) can also interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins and nutrientsAlso, if you are on certain medications (opiates, for example like Vicodin, Percocet, etc.) that delay defecation, you need to be careful about consuming too much bulking fiber, since it can aggravate constipationIf in doubt, consult your physicianBest of luck!
