Fiber keeps things moving, a real help when a GLP-1 slows digestion.

How it works

Morning uses 25 g a day for women and 35 g for men, the same targets as the app. They follow the adequate intake set from the Dietary Reference Intakes (25 g and 38 g); Morning rounds the men's figure to 35 g, a practical number on a small appetite.

Build up slowly

Adding a lot of fiber at once can cause bloating, especially on a GLP-1. Add a few grams a day each week, and drink more water as you do.

Questions

Does fiber help with GLP-1 constipation?

It often does, together with enough water and some movement. If constipation lasts or is painful, talk to your clinician.

Do fiber supplements count?

Yes, but food brings more with it. Start with the foods above and use a supplement to fill gaps.
