If you ask us, we are very happy with this trend. Fibre intake is something we have been promoting for quite some time!
Fibermaxxing is a popular health trend that you may have already seen on social media such as Instagram and TikTok. It revolves around consciously increasing your fibre intake with fibre-rich foods such as vegetables, fruit, beans and whole grains.
WholeFiber fits perfectly into this “trend”. WholeFiber is a pure natural vegetable with no less than 85% fibre. This 100% plant-based fibre source is deliciously crunchy and easy to add to your daily diet.
What is fibermaxxing?
Fibermaxxing is the strategic increase of your fibre intake by adding fibre-rich foods to every meal and snack. The goal is not only to reach the recommended daily amount of fibre, but to maximise it for additional health benefits, such as better gut health and weight management. Women need at least 25 grams of fibre per day and men at least 30 grams per day.
Dietary fibre (fibre) is important for health. It contributes to good digestion, a feeling of satiety after eating and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer.
In the Western world, it is quite difficult to achieve the recommended daily amount of fibre due to the large quantities of processed foods. More than 90% of the Dutch population does not manage to consume this minimum amount of fibre every day.

Why fibre is beneficial for you
- Gut health: Fibre serves as fuel for beneficial gut bacteria, which is essential for healthy digestion. Healthy gut flora is also important for your immune system and metabolism.
- Prevention of chronic diseases: Research shows that a higher fibre intake can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes and certain types of cancer.
- Increased feeling of satiety: Fibre slows down digestion, making you feel fuller for longer and less likely to overeat, which can help with weight management.
- Replenishing fibre deficiencies: Many people do not consume enough fibre. By increasing your fibre intake, you can easily replenish these deficiencies and benefit from the many health advantages.

Important considerations
Don’t overdo it: As with any health trend, it’s important to increase your fibre intake gradually to avoid digestive discomfort. Excessive fibre consumption can temporarily cause bloating or gas. It’s wise to spread your fibre intake throughout the day and build it up slowly.
Consult a dietitian: Since fibermaxxing is not a scientific term, it is a good idea to consult a dietitian to ensure that you are increasing your fibre intake in a safe and effective manner.
