Fibre-maxxing is the wellness trend your gut has been waiting for, and the science actually backs this one… kind of.
The goal is simple: consistently hit 30g of fibre a day. Most of us in the UK are getting less than half that.
And it matters more than most people realise. Fibre feeds the good bacteria in your gut, which influences your immunity, your mood, your energy, your metabolism, basically everything. It’s not just about digestion.
Here’s what 30g actually looks like in a day:
🍎 Apple - 4g
🫙 Bowl of oats - 4.5g
🥫 Half a tin of lentils - 6g
🥕 Two carrots - 6g
🥔 Jacket potato with skin - 5g
That’s nearly 26g before you’ve even tried.
The catch? Going too hard too fast- think 60g overnight- can cause bloating and discomfort. Build up gradually, drink plenty of water, and aim for variety.
One small swap today is all it takes. Brown bread instead of white. Skin on your potatoes. Lentils in your soup. Your gut will notice.
