The Supplement That Helped Me Beat My All-Day, Insatiable Hunger

This past year, just when I thought I'd figured out what foods make me feel my best, my appetite changed suddenly. I was more snacky, constantly thinking about my next meal and just, well, wanting to eat more. 

My doctor asked me how much protein I was eating, and as a vegetarian for 10 years, I realized I probably could do better there. So, after a decade of no meat, I started eating meat again (that's a story for a different day). Even with the upped protein intake, I was still so hungry.

Did you know that just 5% of Americans1 get enough fiber every day? That means 95% of Americans (so, like, most) aren't meeting their recommended daily needs. How much fiber you need per day varies from person to person, but for me, it's at least 25 grams. (Spoiler alert: I wasn't getting anywhere near that!)

Fiber is a complex carb that comes from fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes—all foods I eat plenty of. In fact, many of these 25 high-fiber foods show up in my weekly (if not daily) rotation. And yet, I still wasn't hitting the recommended daily intake.

I wanted to see if getting closer to 25 grams per day would help me feel satiated. And as if it was meant to be, we released our very own fiber product: organic fiber potency+. 

This powder fiber supplement blends so easily into whatever I'm drinking. A hot beverage works great, but sometimes, for efficiency's sake, I just toss it in my protein shaker and knock it back with 8 ounces of water. It doesn't taste like anything and mixes amazingly well. When I start my day with fiber supplementation, I stick to three meals a day and the incessant snack monster in my head takes the day off.
