Why Fibre Matters More Than You Think (And Why Most People Don’t Get Enough)
Fibre is one of the most overlooked nutrients in modern diets. Fibre plays a critical role in digestion, gut health, blood sugar control, and fat loss — yet the majority of people fall well short of recommended intakes.
What Is Fibre (And Why It’s So Important)?
Adequate fibre intake helps:
Support healthy digestion and bowel regularity
Feed beneficial gut bacteria
Improve satiety and fullness
Stabilise blood sugar levels
Support heart and metabolic health
For fat loss, fibre helps you feel fuller on fewer calories, making consistency much easier.
How Much Fibre Do You Actually Need?
General guidelines suggest:
Women: ~25g of fibre per day
Men: ~30–38g of fibre per day
Most people average far less than this.
Increasing fibre doesn’t need to be extreme — small, consistent changes add up quickly.
Signs You May Not Be Eating Enough Fibre
Digestive discomfort or irregularity
Feeling hungry shortly after meals
Blood sugar crashes
Poor gut health
Difficulty maintaining fat loss
Low fibre intake often shows up as discomfort, not just stalled results.
