How much fiber?

[pauly]

I was taking Metamucil about 3-4 times a day but the soluble fiber count is totalled in my carb intake and adds up to 9-12g/day. I want to take psyllium husk since it's all insoluble fiber (which has no impact on carb intake.) My question is, how many g do i take? 1 pill only has 500mg. Am i better off takin the powder to get the dose up to around 10g aday.?

i meant 20-30g a day.

bump.........i need to know what kind of powder everyone is using.......it can't impact my carb totals too much though, that's why i'm shying away from metamucil.

I use the orange metamucil powder SUGAR FREE (for diabetics).It's made fom psyillium fiber. it has only insoluble fiber it will not effect your carb intake if you are trying to keep it low. link above suggest 20-35g/day

I take it before any meals with fat.
