ZZ Fit Radio

In this episode, we unpack why high-fibre diets can backfire for some people — especially if you struggle with bloating, IBS, or general gut sensitivity. Because more fibre isn’t always better… and increasing it too quickly can do more harm than good.

We cover:

Why bloating happens when fibre increases
The role of fermentation and gut adaptation
How IBS changes fibre tolerance
Raw vs cooked vegetables and why it matters
How to increase fibre without digestive chaos
Why comfort should come before hitting a target number

If fibre has ever made you feel worse instead of better, this episode will help you understand why — and how to approach it properly.

Soluble vs insoluble fibre — what’s the difference, and does it actually matter?

In this episode, we simplify fibre so it finally makes sense. You’ll learn how each type affects fullness, digestion, and energy, how to use fibre strategically around training, and why you don’t need to track fibre types to get results.

We also tie everything back to the Fibre Cheat Sheet linked below, so you can see practical food examples and what balanced fibre intake looks like in real life.

No overcomplicating. Just what you actually need to know.

Fibre is one of the most talked-about nutrients in fat loss — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what fibre actually does inside your body… and what it doesn’t do. Because while fibre can support fullness, digestion, blood sugar stability, and overall gut health, it’s not a shortcut to fat loss — and chasing high numbers won’t fix inconsistent eating, low protein, or poor meal structure.

We’ll unpack:

Why fibre supports appetite control (but doesn’t cause fat loss on its own)
The biggest mistake people make when increasing fibre
Why more isn’t always better — especially if you struggle with bloating
How to think about fibre without obsessing over daily targets
The difference between supportive nutrition habits and “magic bullet” thinking

If you’ve ever tried adding chia seeds to everything hoping it would move the scale… this episode will clear things up.

Fibre works best when it supports balanced meals — not when it replaces them.
