I also just saw a commerical last night about Fiber One I think that now has some weight appetite control added so not sure what that is and if it could be good for you or not, read the labels. Fiber does help to fill you up and make you feel full longer, so it can't hurt."

The count on that breakfast is 100 calories and 6 grams of fiber. Fiber Sure has soluable and insoluable fiber which totals 5 overall grams. This small amount of food (and lots of water of course :)) keeps me full until around noon when I eat lunch. Also I work out for 1.5 hours after I eat my breakfast.
As you can see from my sig, I weigh quite a lot and this still keeps me full. I don't know if it's the fiber or what, but I have read from several different sources that drinking water mixed with fiber before meals helps you feel full longer and eat less during meals.
As for the healthyness of fiber suppliments, I've never seen anything bad about them. You just have to up your daily amount slowly to avoid "stomach issues". Hope this helps. :)"

I just have a question. I was wondering if taking a fibre supplement will make you feel fuller longer? and is it safe?:confused:"
