Fiber Choice Chewables Review

A couple of weeks ago, I started taking Fiber Choice Chewables, the weight management version.  I think we all know that most of us don't get the recommended daily dose of fiber.  The average adult needs between 25 and 30 grams of dietary fiber each day.  I know I don't even come close to that most days, mostly because I do not eat enough fruits and vegetables.  I am a carb girl.  I could eat bread for every meal, every day, and be a happy girl.

So, knowing my diet is lacking, I was excited to see if these Fiber Choice Chewables would make a difference.  Each tablet has 2 grams of fiber, and the recommended dose for adults is two tablets every day.  I starting taking them last Monday, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did have an effect on me.  I took them in the evenings, and they worked to fill me up so that I didn't snack my way through my favorite television shows, which is a bad habit of mine.  I was shocked when I got on the scale this morning and saw that I have lost 3 pounds since I started taking them.  I always heard you shouldn't eat (or snack) right before bed, and by cutting out that bad habit, I lost a little weight.

The tablets themselves are pretty good.  The ones I have taste like strawberries.  The only thing I don't like is that they are really chewy, and I always end up with some of them stuck in my teeth.  It's nothing that a toothpick can't fix, and it will not keep me from continuing to take them. 

Fiber Choice comes in four different varieties;   Fiber Choice Original formula, Fiber Choice Weight Management, Fiber Choice Plus Calcium, and Fiber Choice Plus Antioxidants.  They come in a variety of sizes, too.  I found the bottle I have for about $17.00, and it had 90 tablets in it.  That's pretty reasonable for 45 days worth of tablets.

Sounds like a great idea! Can you tell me if they have any RED food coloring in them?
