Fiber 35 Diet

What is this diet and will it help me increase my fiber intake without requiring me to make a lot of weird changes or major food sacrifices?

I think this is an older trendy diet. I think it focuses on getting you 35 grams of fiber into your diet a day. While this is a good plan, the diet itself isn't easy to follow for most people and has phases, the first two of which I think are pretty restrictive. In my opinion, this is a diet that looks good on paper but is impractical for the average person to realistically work into their lifestyle.

It's a good diet because it does force you to eat more fiber because most Americans don't come close to eating the recommended amount of fiber in a day, which is really bad for our bodies. That said, as Chefmel said, the major issue with this diet is the fact that it's a little too strict so this makes it unrealistic to really be great. It doesn't matter how great any diet is in theory. If the average person has a hard time doing it and maintaining it, then it's a fail in my opinion.

Never heard of this one, but I don't like phase diets, no matter what they promise. I think phase diets are silly because you should never have to "cleanse" or starve yourself to get healthier, that's ridiculous. It's one thing to eat less and to eat more healthfully, it's another to throw your body into shock.

Hmm, well that's disappointing. I didn't realize it was a phase kind of diet. I just thought that the challenge would be getting that much fiber. I don't like diets that make you take extreme measures to get "healthy". Thanks for the heads up everyone :)
