Is anyone using Benefiber? I bought yesterday the stuff that you can stir into anything. Does it have too many carbs in it? Thanks!

As long as there are no 'added' sugars in the ingredient list, you may use any fiber supplement you like.

Maybe this is a silly question, but why would we need to supplement the extra fiber when we are eating so many veggies? Does the added fiber help with weight loss?

Thanks for the info. I wish I would have known that in Phase one, but we will start it now we are on Phase 2. I appreciate the advice :)
