exfatloss recently wrote about the difference between being satiated and being full, and not experiencing satiety until their 30’s. Thinking about this made me realize that there’s at least four axes of hunger (pangs, appetite, fullness and emotional state), and some interesting edge cases. These hunger feelings are correlated, but don’t always occur together, and sometimes they even point in opposite directions.
Psyllium husk is a non-fermenting (no gas or bloating) soluble dietary fiber that improves both constipation and diarrhea (such as with IBS), normalizes blood sugar, reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and can help with weight loss. Each type of dietary fiber has different effects, and a “high fiber” diet in general won’t necessarily provide the same benefits, especially for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
