Fibermaxxing encourages people to boost fiber intake for gut health, weight management, and disease prevention—but experts urge moderation and balance.
Many individuals have prioritized their protein intake, but an essential dietary component is often overlooked: fiber. A 2017 report from the Food and Fiber Summit revealed that nearly 95% of both adults and children in the United States fail to meet their daily fiber needs.
“Even though fibermaxxing is a hot nutrition trend right now, its basis is ensuring that people eat more fiber,”
said Eliza Whitaker, a founder and registered dietitian at Nourished Nutrition and Fitness, highlighting that the typical American diet is significantly deficient in this crucial carbohydrate.
In response to this trend, meal delivery services are now launching specialized plans aimed at increasing fiber consumption.
