If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.

    adjacent YSKs:

    • there’s soluble and insoluble fibre. you need both, and psyllium only has soluble fibre so it’s part of a larger fibre intake (carrots are pretty okay sources of insoluble fibre - snacking carrots, perhaps with hummus is great!)
    • peanut butter also has surprisingly decent fibre in it: honestly insoluble fibre is everywhere
    • if you plan on adding psyllium (or any fibre) to your diet, build up slowly! it can cause literally constant diarrhoea for weeks or more if you just whack 30g/day (RDI) straight into your diet all at once
    • add some to pancake batter! you’ll want to add about 10-20% more liquid because it gels up, but it’s real easy to add and is basically unnoticeable
