Never thought I would be writing on this subject! There isn't much fiber in the MRC diet which is why the consultants are always asking if we're constipated. I haven't had that problem but after reading the Belly Fat Cure I realized the importance of fiber. In the book the author talks about the importance of fiber to get rid of belly fat and suggests a Belly Fat Cure Drink in which you mix whole psyllium husks with water for an instant shot of fiber. My center said they think the psyllium is a good idea, especially for anyone having constipation problems. I bought the whole husks from www.swansonsvitamins.com $4.65 for 16 oz which will last forever. You need to drink lots of water to keep the psyllium from acting like cement which isn't a problem on this diet. I usually have mine between breakfast and lunch.
