I prefer Metamucil... far lower calories and nothing to get stuck
between teeth... I like prunes, dates, and figs too, all high fiber
but also high in sugar and then flossing is manditory. My favorite is
compote (stewed dried fruit), I find it addictive, difficult to stop
eating.
However I also eat a lot of raw veggies (salads), we both do, in fact
we will both have a large salad for dinner tonight, only mine will
contain a raw onion,
