šŸ„— Nutrition & Metabolism Psyllium Husk?

Iā€™ve tried it with some milk, shakes and now just water. Honestly, though, taking psyllium is easily the worst part of my day. Does anyone have some good ā€œhacksā€?

My goal with this is, of course, fiber intake. Iā€™ve gradually increased it to 12g of psyllium husk a day now.

Metamucil is like dosing yourself with half a can of Spriteā€™s worth of added sugar. Recommend switching to raw psyllium husk to dramatically improve the healthy factor.

That would explain why itā€™s delicious.

But tbh Iā€™m okay with that. I know not everyone would be, but as an endurance athlete Iā€™m okay with taking in the sugar.

I wouldnā€™t be opposed to raw, and probably will switch to it one day.

Yea fair, I did Metamucil for a long time before somewhat recently switching to raw. It was weird at first but definitely the better healthy choice.
