The 2 claims about dietary fiber
Each keeps its own verdict — we never average them away.
Does fibre help your body respond better to its own appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1?
Leans support Probably yes as a mechanism, but only shown in the lab and cells so far, not in people.
Does fiber ease constipation from Ozempic-style drugs?
Insufficient 🐭 Non-human evidence Untested: no trial has looked at fibre in people taking these drugs. Fibre does help ordinary constipation, so it is plausible, and experts advise adding it slowly because the drug already slows digestion.
