Fiber Choice Weight Management is a fiber supplement pill that contains 2 g of fiber combined with chromium picolinate, a nutritional supplement intended to increase your metabolism. Fiber slows the absorption of sugar into your blood stream, helping you to feel full longer and may reduce the amount of calories you consume, leading to weight loss. The US Food and Drug Administration does not approve the use of chromium picolinate for weight loss, although it recommends that adults get 130 mcg of chromium daily for optimum health. Each Fiber Choice Weight Management pill contains 100 mcg of chromium picolinate.
Step 1
Chew two tablets per day. Although you do not need to take Fiber Choice Weight Management with water, increasing your water intake may prevent constipation or abdominal cramping commonly associated with a sudden increase in dietary fiber.
Step 2
Increase the number of Fiber Choice Weight Management pills you take gradually. According to the package directions, adults may take up to five pills daily. Each pill contains 2 g of fiber and 100 mcg of chromium picolinate, so 5 pills adds an additional 10 g of fiber and 500 mcg of chromium picolinate to your diet. Do not take all five pills at once, space them evenly throughout your day. MayoClinic.com recommends that adults consume between 25 and 38 g of fiber each day for digestive health.
Step 3
Eat foods high in fiber -- don't rely only on supplements. Fiber Choice Weight Management should be used in addition to healthy high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, beans, fruits and whole grains.
