7-Day Fibermaxxing Starter Challenge: Transform Your Gut Health and Energy Naturally

Feel better from the inside out—one delicious day at a time.

Before You Begin: Quick Fiber Facts

• Goal: Build toward 25–30 grams of fiber daily (more if male), but don’t jump in too fast.
• Why go slow? Your gut microbiome needs time to adjust. Rapid changes = gas, cramps, chaos.
• Golden Rule: Hydrate! Fiber without water is like cement in your system. Aim for at least 2 liters/day (≈8 cups).
• Listen to your body: Adjust amounts or pause if you feel overly bloated.

• Gut not happy? Try peppermint tea, gentle movement, or scale back slightly.
