Here’s my newest FREE Meal Plan (High Protein Mediterranean with some Intermittent Fasting)- thomasdelauer.com/MediterraneanFasting/ Please enjoy it as a thank-you for subscribing to my channel and my newsletter!

You’re on a roll dude! Keep it up - bringing tons of value to the space. Taking your advice has been life changing for me 😊

Beautifully simple understandable description & practical information, thank you!👌

Thank you, sir!

Just awesome. Thomas, you deliver so much benefit to so many lives. I truely appreciate your blend of scientific rigor, wisdom, and practicality. Thank you for delivering great content and for being a wonderful human being.

I was talking smack but you never deleted my comments so I respect you for that. I’m gonna stop being a troll

Good reinforcement! Very Good

Thanks, I always learn from your thoughtful postings.❤

Psyllium husks or psyllium husk powder is much better than Metamucil, which comes with all sorts of additives

Thanks for this video.

This is the shit Tom! The future is microbiome science. Thank you for shining a light on it truly shows you know exactly what’s up ❤

Good info thanks

Ty again great education!

Another empty house Thomas broke into and filmed a video 😂

I found I needed Psyllium Husk to make Zero Carb more manageable (without getting into details). Turns out I picked right.

Love it when topics come out and it touches on something you've been looking into. I was doing some research on soluble fibre, specifically inulin combined with psyllium and effects on the gut and gas. For those concerned about bloating or who for health reasons stay away from fiber you can search the following for this study: Neurogastroenterology Original research Psyllium reduces inulin-induced colonic gas production in IBS: MRI and in vitro fermentation studies Would be interesting if Thomas knows of any further research regarding this. The article is ~2 year old.

I started buying a fiber supplement because my husband (at 76) and I (at 73) both have had trouble with regularity. I had tried a version in capsules from Dr. Gundry, which was just not enough, in quantity. I’ve tried Emma, which probably helps, but not enough. Finally I found one that was really enough: Peak Bioboost. It comes as a white powder and you put a whole SCOOP in your coffee or tea. You can take it twice a day but I’ve not found that to be necessary. The active ingredients are Inulin (from Jerusalem artichoke) and VG FOS (fructooligosaccharide), acacia gum, and XOS (xylioligosaccharide, and a small amount of magnesium citrate. I also find the need to boost my fat intake using MCT oil as needed. The supplement keeps me regular, the fat makes it comfortable, if you know what I mean. The MCT oil brand I use is Garden of Life, whose products I’ve used on and off since 2004. If you need help to have comfortable, regular BMs, you need it! Make sure you get what works for you and yours-no need to suffer. Hope this helps.

Perfect timing. I already take Seed probiotic and it has really done a great job on keeping my overly sensitive gut calm and regular. But over the last week something has changed and I'm not sure exactly what happened but I'm guessing some sort of stomach bug has everything out of sync. Senna is helpful but not always. I've been contemplating increasing my fiber intake and this video was all I needed to confirm my next "move." 😂 Thanks.

Great point at the end, about science based, not bound!

You labeled a picture of morning glory as chicory. Please know, chicory blossoms look like blue daisies. The rest of the plant looks rather like sticks with leaves very low on the plant.

I bet the difference is in a subgroup of the soluble fiber. Not all soluble fiber ferments some do like inulin that results in production of short chain fatty acids.

I make a sandwich thin out of mozzarella, egg, psyllium husk powder and baking powder. It makes a decent sandwich that doesn't have any starches or grains. Another source of soluble fiber is konjac root, which can be found in shirataki noodles and in glucomannan.

The best tasting sugar free chocolates I've been able to find, Bake Believe, has inunlin in it. I'm super addicted to their milk chocolate chips and make a trail mix with walnuts, pecans, and peanuts

Is it not true that the fermentation experienced by soluble fibre can be enhanced by the presence of insoluble fibre? I appreciate that, if pushed to choose one or the other, soluble is the way to go, but...why not both? Love the content, keep it nutrient-dense!

I put chia and flax seeds in my yogurt with berries, almonds, and pecans, it makes the best breakfast when I do eat breakfast. Delish. Yogurt must be full bodied. Raw if you can get it.

How about Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) a relative of Jerusalem artichoke. It contains Fructoologosaccharides and I grow it in my garden. Hi and greetings from Germany.

Hi Thomas, what do you think is the best ratio for rolled oats, chia flax, and overnight oatmeal to avoid boating for a woman?

So what is the best soluble fiber for weight loss?

Is insoluble fiber not broken down at all to feed some of the microbes???

Luv the science ❤️🇨🇦

For probiotics I buy sauerkraut. Super cheap.

That whole "bristle brush" cleaning out the colon theory messed up my colon. My ulcerative colitis did not go into remission until decades later when I finally cut out all fiber. Now I can have some soluable fiber without consequences. Some of us do fine not clogging up the colon so it needs a bristle brush.

What is it?

I’ve been eating two big bowls of Kirkland veggie medley every day and have been losing weight like magic. I remember you talked about eating a lot of fiber in one of your videos for weight loss, and I implemented it, and it works! I’m already at a good weight, but I’m trying to get leaner without cutting calories.

But how much soluble fiber should I add??

What do you have histamine intolerance and the fermented foods are really hard on that how could you still get probiotics that can help you without affecting intolerance of histamine?

Awesome bro

Great video Thomas. The only thing I would say is that resistance starch may Trump all as far as the best food for your gut microbiome. Aside from that and no offense, but a big issue that gets overlooked by most people is that consuming additional fibre without having sufficent gut microbiome diversity or just severely lacking needed species in your gut means that all the fibre consumption in the world will likely not benefit you and you will po*p it all out as you won’t have the gut microbes to consume it This is literally like putting the cart before the horse. A landmark study by Professor Christopher Gardner and Eric Sonnenberg showed exactly that Study participants consisted of those who consumed fibre only from high fibre vs those who consumed kimchi and other fermented vegetables, vegetable brine drinks, and kombucha tea. Those on the high fiber diet were eating fruits and vegetables, legumes, seeds, whole grains, and nuts but did not have any of the nineteen inflammatory proteins decrease. Their microbiome diversity for the most part stayed the same and did not increase like the fermented food group. Those participants eating fermented foods had four types of immune cells that showed less activation, and they also experienced a decrease in nineteen inflammatory protein levels measured in blood samples. One of these proteins, interleukin 6, has been linked to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Type 2 diabetes, and chronic stress. Now in the interests of fairness and to play Devil’s Advocate given long enough perhaps the high fibre group could have slowly grown a greater diversity of gut microbial species. The ongoing American Gut Project that collects and looks at foods consumed by participants has noted that the greater the diversity of gut microbe species the healthier participants tend to be, all other things being equal. They discovered that one way to expand gut microbial species is to expand consumption of up to 30 vegetables a week but including different nuts and spices also counts. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to try fermented foods to accomplish the same before attempting to take on such a herculean task.

Metamucil has some sweetening and flaviring,is that fibe?

Literally eating chia pudding while watching this....

my best breakfast is a bowl of steel cut oats with chia seeds.

this is why fruit and meat is so good. Pineapple and papaya and mango together in a big bowl, its low calorie, easy flow. Very easy. combined with steaks, just such a satisfying diet. Sweet, hydrating, moorish and buttery salty, rotate the two. Too easy.

What about fruit fiber like apples?

What about pectin ?

Off topic: I do love these in-depth explanations of nutritional health, but I come from Africa, so all I can think of while listening to all this stuff is "Jesus, First World Problems much? Just eat and do your work."

What is best breakfast for longevity plspls video

a diabetes doctor told me that I should drink a fiber drink, wait 15 minutes and then have a salad or a piece or 2 of whole grain bread with at least 4 grams of fiber, then eat whatever I want, 30 minutes after eating walk for 15 minutes, after 2 hours check your blood sugar, if it is more than 100, keep walking until you bring it down to 100....Do this before every meal. I should add that I did this and no longer have blood sugar issues. I also used moringa and only did the protocol once a day

When making a chia pudding, do we lose the benefit of the fiber because it’s already absorbed the milk?

Acacia powder for less discomfort

Konjac Root(Glucomannan)

what is this thumbnail? lol what shouldnt we eat

Do you need to soak chia seed overnight to gain the benefits of it or can you have it dry and then chase it with liquid so it blooms in your intestines?

I just planted some Jerusalem artichokes so hopefully I will have a bunch next year. This fiber must be why they call them fartichokes.

Is Metamucil soluble fiber

Soooo oatmeal is fine? What if you’re doing low carb…

Metamucil rips my guts apart. I cant take it but i can take chia seeds with no problems 💜

Do you recommend metamucil for keto even though it has a lot of maltodextrin?

I take acacia fiber every day because I bloat less with that type of fiber

You recommended Metamucil. Are you aware of the added sucrose, citric acid, artificial flavors and yellow 6 in it? I am and so should everyone else who doesn’t want to harm their body’s. I appreciate your page and all your work. What are your thoughts on this?

The difference in gut microbiome isn't the cause; it's a symptom.

But how much per day?

Why is he hating on Radicchio 😂

I have used soluble fiber for years. I just looked at the ingredient. It is dextrin. Your thoughts please.

The thing is, if you alread have a high fiber diet in terms of veggies and fruits, you might want to steer clear of soluble fiber…. As a raw vegan, those just make me bloated… it IS overboard if you already have enough insoluble fiber…. So keep that in mind. But, if you tend to eat more meat and potatoes, or highly processed foods, then those fibers will probably help a lot. 😉

As a diabetic in remission, any carb or sugar is like playing Russian roulette. 😂😂😂

Thomas get dr lustig on he is amazing too

Mind blown, granny always told me that fiber was nothing more than a waste product having no benefit to the body since it can’t be digested.

Metamucil is LOADED with sugar! I cant believe you just recommended that!

I eat asparagus with every meal, the hunger is irradicated.

40 - 50g of Fibre a day. - 30g from nuts, seeds, avocados etc - 20g Psyllium Husk (take 1 x 10g before each meal, twice a day) Try it. You’ll thank me later.

NutriKane D for me everyday.

Kimchi...one tablespoon with dinner

Doesn't flax decrease testosterone?

Postum!

If you don't grind chia you'll only get the fiber from it...

Soft shell crab will clean you out. Animal fiber!

Strange place to stand and record this, but ok…. 😂

First heard about soluble fiber 20 years ago . Had IBS and was told about soluble fiber. Eliminated dairy and some stuff. Started having oats , banana, soy milk for breakfast. Quite a bit of white rice, fish, meat, vegetables for lunch and dinner. Once my gut was healed I could reintroduced some milk etc. Now , 20 years later, I still have the same breakfast, 2 pieces of sushi, rice and raw salmon for lunch, anything for dinner, my health is the best it's ever been. Plus I've never had any vaccines or medication

Stop eating what?

We don't need fiber, we can't digest it.

Fiber from fruits only is what we need

Eat pysillium husk nothing better than this

EAT one Orange per Day = Bryan Johnson does !!!

Like number 850!

I so badly want to believe everything he teaches but every video he does he sells the exact remedy

The human body requires NO fibre

i'm ok with this video until your concluding remarks. evidence provides us with tested theories that let draw upon upon actionable practices. but taking it upon yourself to call this evidence based on wishful thinking is not the same. i don't disagree with much you say. but how you say it.

Lol

👋

gotta lose that bogus beard Thomas if you're trying to look that clean cut/styled.

I am 70 years old & all the talk about soluble & insoluble fiber isn't interesting to me. Please just tell me what I should eat in order to lose weight & lower my glucose levels. Too much chemical talk, not enough real talk for the elderly. Make it simple.

U look better in the face. Maybe the wife dinamics😊 fiber ,carbs ,calories means sh--t

Be mindful of the fibre sources that are more or less beneficial for the male endocrine system eg. Anti androgenic, pro-estrogen, flax etc. DHT, has anti-estrogen protections, so inhibiting it will only making you start transitioning into a female. 😂 Unless you want gyno? 😂😂😂

If you want better healthcare go to Europe,, USA is one of the few countries on the planet that promotes fiber,, most of the world would never do that....

Oh stop with your war on vegetables.

Wisdom of community Q here- can I check how this relates to the glucose goddess approach- is soluble fibre the stuff that creates the mesh she talks about more than insoluble? thanks!
