In the book, a spoonful of Metamucil is recommended before a meal to slow down the absorption of that meal.

A few Questions on this:

1. Does it have to be before the meal....can it be after the meal?

2. Does the Metamucil Fiber Wafer count? (very good tasting to someone who hasn't had sugar or carbs in 10 days.....It contains NO sugar)

3. Has anyone tried this and has it helped you lose more weight?

Just wondering......

Thanks for all the great info you all provide!!

Hi Rebecca!


I have the Metamucil tablets, and I only (remember) to take them here and there, and take one at night when I do.

Cathy,

How do you take your Metamucil? Pill, Spoonful, or in water? The Wafers are tasty and I do feel very full....kinda bloated......BUT, I am not craving anything which is not normal for me this time of day (evening).

Hi Rebecca,


I take a heaping teaspoon of powder in a large glass of water.
