What do you use.
I am a total cheapskate, penny-pincher, you name it.
I need to add more fiber to my diet...thinking of getting bene-fiber or something similar, but good-grief the prices they want for fiber products to me is rediculous.
I have not had a constipation problem so far in this journey...thank goodness. I have heard some horror stories. But maybe it is the way I have been focusing on protein, protein, protein in the last week....things just aren't what they use to be, KWIM...
What does every do for added fiber?

Ah Elaine...a new crusade near and dear to my heart: FIBER!!! I need to have increased fiber intake the rest of my life because of colon cancer scare issues so I attack this problem from all angles.
In my daily coffee and/or protein drinks I add Benefiber (which is available in generic varieties at Wal-Mart and places like Walgreens), for a candy-substitute fix Fiber Choice sugar free tablets (I get the big bottle of it at Costco), Splenda packets with added fiber and now as many veggies as I can make myself eat. Had a big dish of stir-fry last night. Veggies aren't my fav. foods but I gotta do it.
For a near-daily carb fix I almost always have in the freezer some version of homemade sf bran muffins made with Fiber One cereal. You can have such fun with the basic recipe...sometimes I add mashed baby carrots and spices to make it a 'carrot cake' muffin or applesauce and cinnamon, mashed banana...etc. Definitely easy to do and fun to think up new concoctions.
Remember those old commercials: "Mmmm.....FIBER!"

Can I get the basic recipe from you?
I just can't figure out why the darn fiber supplements are soooo darn expensive! good grief. Then I can't decide if I want the tablets or the flavorless powder to add to my shakes in the am I think I am more likely to take it if I have the tablets, but then I would need quite a few of those in a day, cause it only has so many grams per tablet. See, here I go again, over-analyzing. Got to remind myself...keep it simple!

I keep all of them on hand because sometimes I just forget to start with the benefiber so I have the others for backup and some days when I am actually eating 'good' (my own skewed definition which means mostly all protein) it feels like I need just about all those supplements.
As for price...they know we want it and we don't have a choice but to pay their prices. It stinks!
