- 0:00People ask me all the time, how do I get my fiber in throughout the day?
- 0:03What are good fibrous foods? Well, I'm going to show you some of the best,
- 0:07save this video here. You're going to come back to it later and stick around to the end because I've
- 0:11got one of my favorite hacks. So for women, an adequate intake of fiber would be 25 grams
- 0:16and for men, 38 grams of fiber. And those numbers I gave you can be skewed up and down depending on
- 0:22age, calorie intake, activity level, and different health needs. And before I get into the foods,
- 0:27please make sure you're getting in your fiber throughout the day. Do not try to have it all at
- 0:31one time that can cause some bloating and some situations happening. So first off, vegetables.
- 0:36One of the highest is artichokes. And then we have broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, spinach,
- 0:41and cabbage and so on. Now let's get into some of my personal favorites. We've got lentils
- 0:46and black beans. Both can have 15 grams of fiber per cup. These are really good for stabilizing
- 0:53blood sugar and keeping you full for hours. And then next on the docket would be one of my
- 0:58personal favorites that Chia seeds, they can bring in 10 grams per ounce. I personally love
- 1:04putting them in protein shakes and or yogurt. Careful with the calories on these though. They're a very
- 1:09calorie dense. So some other nuts and seeds that are a good choice are flax seeds, almond seeds,
- 1:14pumpkin seeds. And if you want some really good fats to try and avocado, a whole avocado could
- 1:19bring you 10 grams of fiber. You like fruits? Let's get into fruits. The fiber powerhouse guys are
- 1:25raspberries, 8 grams of fiber per cup. My next favorite is the apple guys. Remember, keep that
- 1:32skin on for that fiber. And my other two fruit suggestions would be blueberries and pears. Okay,
- 1:37so now let's get into the whole grains. There's whole grain bread, there's brown rice, there's oats,
- 1:43and then my personal favorite, quinoa. Both oats and quinoa could have about 5 grams of fiber
- 1:49per cup. Okay, so are you ready for my hack? The best fiber tip? Drum roll please. It would be
- 1:56these mission carb balanced flour tortillas. This is a medium-sized tortilla, 70 calories,
- 2:02but guess how much fiber is in one of those? Look right here, 17 grams of fiber per tortilla.
- 2:09You can make a cute little burrito with it. You can tear it up, dip it in some dip. So I hope you've
- 2:15liked my suggestions. Tell me in the comments what your favorite fiber hack is or your favorite
- 2:20fiber's food is.
Fiber tips for GLP-1 users: what the science actually supports
Quick answer
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite, which can make it harder to reach daily fiber targets from whole foods while also making the gut more sensitive to large boluses of fermentable or isolated fiber. For patients on these medications, fiber quality and distribution across meals is more clinically relevant than total gram count alone. Clinicians working with GLP-1 patients should address fiber sources proactively, since GI tolerability is one of the top reasons patients reduce or discontinue these medications.

Helpful context before the funnel
Page-specific review note
What this exact clip is really saying
This FormBlends review is specific to "Fiber tips for GLP-1 users: what the science actually supports" from AJ - Let's Talk About It!. We read the clip as a GLP-1 social video fact-checks claim about GLP-1 social video fact-checks, then separate the useful signal from what a short social video cannot prove. The page-specific claim focus is: GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite, which can make it harder to reach daily fiber targets from whole foods while also making the gut more sensitive to large boluses of fermentable or isolated fiber.
The reason this review is not generic is the source wording and the canonical claim label "glp1 fiber a lot of people think it s hard to get enough fiber pe." In this clip, the useful excerpt is: "People ask me all the time, how do I get my fiber in throughout the day?" That wording changes the review because it points to GLP-1 social video fact-checks evidence, safety, and patient-fit context, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
The source trail for this page is checked against Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity (2021), Effect of Continued Weekly Subcutaneous Semaglutide vs Placebo on Weight Loss Maintenance (2021), and Effect of Weekly Subcutaneous Semaglutide vs Daily Liraglutide on Body Weight (2022), plus the creator's own wording. GLP-1 social video fact-checks decisions still need an eligibility review, medication-interaction screen, access check, and quality-control review before anyone treats a social clip as medical advice.

- The IOM Adequate Intake for fiber is 25g per day for women and 38g per day for men, exactly as stated in the video.
- Most Americans consume only 10-15 grams of fiber daily, well below recommendations, according to King et al. (2012, Nutrition Research).
What it may miss
- It may not cover eligibility, contraindications, medication interactions, lab history, or dose escalation.
- Compound access, legal status, and product quality still need a separate safety check.
- Social video captions rarely show the full evidence base behind a claim.

Our take · Written by FormBlends editorial team · Reviewed by FormBlends Medical Team · This is not a transcript. It is our independent review of the video above.
What did @ajletstalkaboutit actually say?
The creator walked through a list of high-fiber foods, gave daily intake targets for men and women, and warned viewers not to load all their fiber at once to avoid bloating. The video ended with a specific product push: Mission Carb Balance flour tortillas, which the creator said contain "17 grams of fiber per tortilla" at 70 calories.
Most of the advice was practical and aimed at GLP-1 users who struggle to hit fiber targets on reduced appetites. The creator cited specific numbers for lentils ("15 grams of fiber per cup"), chia seeds ("10 grams per ounce"), avocado ("10 grams of fiber" for a whole one), raspberries ("8 grams per cup"), and oats and quinoa ("about 5 grams of fiber per cup"). These are real claims with real numbers attached, so they're worth checking.
Does the science back this up?
Mostly yes, with a few numbers that deserve scrutiny. The fiber intake recommendations the creator cited, 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, match the Institute of Medicine's Adequate Intake values exactly. The general list of high-fiber foods is solid. But some of the specific gram counts are optimistic.
Lentils at "15 grams per cup" is close. Cooked lentils contain roughly 15.6 grams per cup according to USDA FoodData Central, so that checks out. Chia seeds are listed at "10 grams per ounce," but USDA data puts it closer to 9.8 grams, which rounds to 10, so fine. The avocado claim is where things get stretched. A whole Hass avocado averages about 13.5 grams of fiber (USDA), but the edible portion of a medium avocado is closer to 9-10 grams, so "10 grams" is reasonable depending on size. Raspberries at 8 grams per cup is accurate per USDA. The oats and quinoa figure of "about 5 grams per cup" is roughly right for oats but low for quinoa, which comes in closer to 5.2 grams cooked, so not wrong but not a big differentiator either. The fiber-blood sugar connection the creator mentioned for lentils and black beans is supported by research. Chandalia et al. (2000, NEJM) showed high dietary fiber intake improved glycemic control, and soluble fiber from legumes specifically slows gastric emptying and glucose absorption.
What did they get wrong (or right)?
The Mission tortilla claim is the one that needs a closer look, and it tells a story about fiber that the creator missed entirely. Seventeen grams of fiber in a 70-calorie tortilla sounds extraordinary because it is. That fiber comes almost entirely from added chicory root extract (inulin) and isolated fibers, not from whole food sources.
This matters clinically. A 2020 review by Dahl et al. in the journal Nutrients noted that isolated or synthetic fibers like inulin may not confer the same metabolic benefits as intact fiber from whole foods, and in higher doses can cause significant gastrointestinal distress, including bloating and gas, particularly in people with sensitive guts or those on GLP-1 medications who already experience GI side effects. The creator ironically warned viewers to "spread fiber throughout the day" to avoid bloating, then recommended a single product that dumps a concentrated dose of fermentable isolated fiber in one sitting. That's a contradiction worth flagging.
The creator did get the general spread of food categories right, and the reminder to keep apple skin on for fiber is a small but legitimate tip. Calling chia seeds "calorie dense" and flagging that is responsible advice, not something every creator bothers with.
What should you actually know?
If you're on a GLP-1 medication, fiber intake is genuinely worth prioritizing, but the type of fiber matters more than most social media content acknowledges. GLP-1 drugs slow gastric emptying, which means fermentable fibers from processed products can sit in the gut longer and ferment more aggressively, making GI symptoms worse. Whole food fiber sources like legumes, vegetables, and intact grains tend to be better tolerated and come packaged with other nutrients.
The creator's advice to distribute fiber intake across the day is actually evidence-aligned. A 2018 paper by Baxter et al. in Cell Host and Microbe found that gradual increases in dietary fiber supported microbiome adaptation better than sudden large doses. For GLP-1 users specifically, the reduced stomach capacity from medication makes gradual dosing even more practical.
- Hitting 25-38 grams of fiber daily from whole foods is a reasonable target, but most Americans average only 10-15 grams per day (King et al., 2012, Nutrition Research).
- Isolated fiber in fortified products counts toward your daily total on a label but may not deliver the same health effects as fiber from whole foods.
- If you're experiencing GI side effects on a GLP-1 drug, introducing large amounts of fermentable fiber at once, from any source, is likely to make things worse, not better.
