What Is Fibermaxxing—and Should You Be Doing It?
“Fibermaxxing” is the latest nutrition buzzword spreading across wellness circles—and for good reason.
Simply put, fibermaxxing is the practice of intentionally maximizing your daily dietary fiber intake to improve gut health, blood sugar stability, fat loss, and overall vitality.
But before you start shoveling down psyllium husks and fiber gummies, keep reading…
Because how you do it matters. A lot.
Why Fiber Matters (Now More Than Ever)
Most Americans eat less than 15 grams of fiber per day—far below the recommended 25-38 grams depending on gender and age.
Low-fiber diets are now strongly linked to:
- Chronic constipation
- Insulin resistance
- High cholesterol
- Increased body fat
- Depressed immune function
Meanwhile, high-fiber diets have been shown to:
- Improve gut microbiome diversity
- Regulate appetite hormones
- Lower inflammation and cortisol
- Support healthy weight management
- Reduce risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes

How to Start Fibermaxxing—The Dolce Way
Fibermaxxing isn’t about loading up on synthetic powders or gas-inducing bars. We focus on whole food sources first.
Here’s how we do it:
| Food | Fiber (per serving) |
|---|---|
| Chia Seeds (1 tbsp) | 5g |
| Black Beans (½ cup) | 8g |
| Raspberries (1 cup) | 8g |
| Cooked Oats (1 cup) | 4g |
| Avocado (½ fruit) | 7g |
| Sweet Potato (1 cup) | 6g |
Coach Mike’s Daily Fibermaxxing Tips
✅ Start your day with chia oats or The Dolce Breakfast Bowl
✅ Add lentils or black beans to your lunch
✅ Snack on fruit with skin (apples, berries)
✅ Toss avocado or leafy greens into every meal
✅ Drink 80–100 oz of water per day to support digestion
Don’t Fall for the Fiber Trap
Fibermaxxing is a real strategy—but it’s not about fiber-fortified junk.
🚫 Avoid:
- Processed “high fiber” cereals

- High-dose fiber pills without a balanced diet
You’re not just trying to hit a number—you’re optimizing your gut environment so your body can:
- Burn more fat
- Extract more nutrients
