This is the chart I've created to help me with knowing how many calories I can eliminate from my daily diet. I have been trying to lose weight for years. Nothing worked. Then I heard about fiber. The problem is that most people aren't taking enough fiber to help with weight loss. Through trial and error I have come to these figures in the chart. I am halfway to my goal so I know it is working. Thought others could use this information as well. there are also other things I am doing and not doing. I changed my eating habbits slowly. I stopped eating chips except for 4 times a year. I stopped soft drinks for 6 mos. At holidays I drink some and if I have an infection. That cuts the calories down. I would do just one change for a few months and then add another change. That way it wasn't so hard. To help with blood sugar control, I also take daily vanadyl sulfate 5000 mcg, chromium picolinate 200 mcg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon. For health reasons I take vitamins and calcium. I lost some weight taking all this w/o the fiber but it was hard. Fiber is my anti calorie. If I eat 1800 calories a day I can take 3 tablespoons 3 times a day and its like I have had no calories for that day. I disolve the fiber in hot tea. I tried using it in cold drinks but I did not lose weight until I learned to disolve it in hot tea. I hope this will help others learn how to use fiber. I must confess I have never taken more that 3 tablespoons 4 times a day.
