What is One small change you made to your workout/diet/whatever that has made a big difference? Little Wins

We aren’t all built the same mentally and physically, so I thought it would be fun to see what little change you made in your life that has made a bigger difference than you thought

Making sure I get enough fiber. I don’t get as bloated anymore and my high cholesterol went down to a healthy level at my last physical.

Yes! And probiotics have also helped my bloating a lot.

I only use the pill kind for a month, every few /two months or so. Idk where you live but I find these in the pharmacy. But i also eat probiotic yogurt every day —that is the easiest way for me to add protein and probiotics while still satisfying that dessert craving.

This is so awesome and underrated! If anyone has a hard time getting enough fiber, see if you can find Carbonauts bread. 1 slice is like half your daily recommended amount of fiber.

I also recommend Benefiber (or Costco's equivalent Optifiber)! I add it to my water/drink everyday and it's tasteless.

My go-to ways to get my fiber in: - fruit and veggie smoothie (~9g fiber) - high fiber fruit as a snack (pear, apple, mango) - Inked Keto bread. 45 calories and 10g fiber in 1 slice! I like to add avocado to it, which adds another 10g fiber. Just the toast with avocado alone gets me almost fully to my fiber goal for the day. - veggie sides with meals - hot chocolate - Metamucil supplements if it’s towards the end of the day and I haven’t reached my goal. The gummies taste like candy and their fiber thins are good with a cup of tea. - And also drinking enough water to push the fiber out in combination with enough exercise to keep things moving!
