Hey all…..

Started taking a spoonful of Metamucil when I would wake up about a year ago at the advice of some friends. I liked the results and want to stick with it.

I am doing a pretty strict carnivore diet right now in addition to weight training and cardio. I am also doing intermittent fasting with about a 5 hour window to get my food in.

I don’t want to mess up fasting or anything with the fiber but just not sure when to take it now. Does it even matter?

And to complicate things more, I’m on a rotating shift work schedule….so there’s that…

Thanks everyone for advice

My doc told me once it would make me feel full.

When you were taking it in the morning was it right before eating breakfast?

Just take it when you break your fast instead.

Yessir,
I would take it when I woke up….actually like the taste!

I think I’ll push it back to take it now when I have my first meal of the day/night depending on my shift

Thank you

Slightly different take...

On my last deployed trip we ate MREs for almost 6 months straight.  Metamucil was worth its weight in gold in our outpost.

I take a shake of mirolax in a big glass of water at night before bed. For the BM in the AM, as they say. If you're in a hurry, a sip of MCT oil. That gets the troops up and moving. These are when I'm eating crappy. When I'm strict carnivore, I take one saucy dump a day, without needing any 'additives.'
