Rise of fibermaxxing dietary trend

Overview

A nutritional trend known as ‘fibermaxxing’ is gaining popularity on social media platforms, where influencers promote high fiber intake to improve gut health, increase satiety, and support cardiovascular wellness. The trend encourages the consumption of diverse plant-based foods, including oats, fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, and nuts.

In response to this trend, the food industry has introduced various high-fiber products, such as cereals, shakes, and specialized milk. However, data from the National Nutrition Survey indicates that fiber consumption remains low in Germany, with average daily intakes for men and women falling significantly below the recommendations set by the German Nutrition Society (DGE).
