Chasing Fiber: The Joyful, Genius, Slightly Subversive Habit You Didn’t Know You Needed
CJ doesn’t just join the Metabolic Transformation Lab—she lights it up.
She’s that kind of person. Funny. Brilliant. Effortlessly creative. The type who makes you wonder why the rest of us didn’t think of it first when she casually drops a phrase that sticks in your brain like oatmeal in your ribs.
“Chase Fiber.”
That’s CJ’s goal. Not chase protein. Not chase macros. Not even chase perfection. Fiber. And she means it. One hundred grams a day. On purpose. With joy. With results. And often, with her Snackle Box in tow (a genius invention that’s half tackle box, half snack tray, and 100% CJ).
And here’s the kicker: it’s working. She’s got more energy, better satiety, sustained fat loss, and an entourage of fellow Lab members cheering her on like she’s the Beyoncé of Bowel Movements.
So let’s talk about why Chasing Fiber might just be the smartest health rebrand of the decade.
The Most Underrated Nutrient in America
Americans are fiber-deficient. Not slightly. Catastrophically.
According to the USDA, the average American eats just 10 to 15 grams of fiber per day. That’s less than half of the already-low RDA of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. And let’s be honest, those numbers are the minimum to avoid disease, not to thrive.
CJ looked at those numbers and said, “Hold my Snackle Box.”
Why aim low when you could feel amazing?
Because here’s what 100 grams of fiber does:
Slows digestion and stabilizes blood sugar
Feeds your gut microbiome like a 5-star buffet
Increases satiety so you actually feel done after eating
Lowers cholesterol and inflammation
Acts like a sponge for estrogen and toxins
Powers up mitochondria with short-chain fatty acids (hi butyrate!)
Keeps your colon moving like a well-oiled assembly line
Fiber doesn’t just prevent disease. It promotes vitality.
What Even Is Fiber?
Fiber is plant magic.
Technically, it's the indigestible part of plant foods, mostly complex carbohydrates, that resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine. That fermentation? It’s what produces all the good stuff like SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids), lowers colonic pH, and keeps your microbiota singing like a well-fed choir.
There are two main types:
Soluble fiber: Think oats, beans, flax. It dissolves in water and helps lower cholesterol and regulate glucose.
Insoluble fiber: Think kale stems and brown rice. It adds bulk and keeps things moving.
CJ doesn’t discriminate. She chases both like a boss.
Paleo Poop: A Historical Reality Check
Modern humans poop like kittens compared to our ancestors. Studies of traditional hunter-gatherers (like the Hadza of Tanzania) and reconstructions of Paleolithic diets suggest fiber intakes of up to 100 grams per day, and corresponding stool weights around 400–500 grams daily.
Yes, you read that right. Paleo poop was heroic.
Today’s average American stool? A pitiful 100–200 grams. And often, dry as a bone.
CJ’s Snackle Box could change that. And no, it’s not just for fun, it’s a strategic fiber fortress. Beans, lentils, jicama, berries, dates, snap peas, and those adorable little hummus cups. A mobile gut microbiome amusement park.
We’re Not Protein Deficient—We’re Fiber Starved
Let’s end the madness. The protein panic has been wildly overblown. Unless you're a competitive bodybuilder or subsisting on Pixy Stix, you’re probably getting enough protein.
But fiber? That’s the quiet nutrient no one brags about on Instagram. It doesn’t have a fan club. It doesn’t sell gym memberships. But it’s the reason CJ shows up energized, satisfied, and glowing like someone who’s not in a blood sugar tailspin by 3 p.m.
She’s not chasing macros. She’s chasing momentum.
Why CJ’s Slogan Matters
It’s catchy. It’s science-backed. And it’s radically reframed the way we think about food.
“Chasing Fiber” doesn’t mean restriction. It means creativity. Curiosity. Choosing foods that nourish your body and your bugs. It means building meals around plants, planning snacks with intention, and maybe even rebranding your lunchbox into a Snackle Box of resilience.
It’s also a powerful identity shift: You become someone who chases health, not hacks. Wholeness, not numbers.
And in the process, you stop being manipulated by hunger, cravings, or diet dogma, because fiber doesn’t just change your digestion. It changes your relationship with food.
Your Invitation
So here’s your mission. Inspired by CJ.
Open your fridge. Open your mind. Grab your beans, berries, oats, greens, and whole grains.
And chase fiber like your mood, metabolism, and microbiome depend on it.
Because they do.
And maybe—just maybe—order yourself a Snackle Box while you’re at it. CJ swears by it. It turns every car ride, party, or plane trip into a portable fiber fiesta.
