Recently a counselor at my COD informed me that a serving of fiber whether it be pill or powder was considered a starch and to include it in our diary as such. Otherwise I could be over doing the starches. Has anyone else been told that? I also use senna tea to help on those days when things aren't going as they should. Thanks!
I've never heard that you have to count a fiber supplement as a starch....I would challenge the counselor and ask her to have the LAWL dietician fax you this information in writing.
My center says that too, but I think that it is crazy. Like Suzanne said, fiber does not get digested anyway. Besides, LAWL tends to be a bit constipating, and how well can someone really lose weight if their body is not functioning correctly?
