I’ve been on and off doing IF but now I’ve decided to get serious and do 20:4 and then maybe OMAD. I’m going to take psyllium husk as a supplement but I don’t know how much to take. There are so many dosages and they say to take a few times a day.
Any other supliments I should take as well?
1 tbs (9 g) in the loose form per meal, two meals a day, with plenty of water or fluids. It’s 30 kcal per 1 tbs. I try not to rely on it, but if I don’t meet my 25 g of fibre a day, I supplement with psyllium husk.
With psyllium husk, start with a smaller dose, maybe like 1/2 teaspoon, and gradually increase the dose until you get the effect you want. Too much suddenly might cause digestive rebellion (sudden increase of fiber). Different people will require different amounts. The package will usually indicate the common daily dosage, 1 tablespoon I think. And not taking it with enough water could cause constipation (collects into more of a hard lump rather than a diluted gel).
