The idea of fibre being good has been around for donkeys years (remember the F-Plan Diet?). It is not only good for the gut but it is usually low GI which should lessen sugar cravings. It also is less quickly converted into sugars (eg comparing wholemeal pasta to refined pasta).

If you eat the right foods then you shouldn’t need to overdo it. I know someone who sprinkled powdered bran over his porridge in the morning, a bit of a double whammy that went too far. Less processed foods and more whole grains, veg and pulses should do it.
