Cross-posted on another sub, but I just didn't get much info over there...
I was in great shape before having my 2nd kiddo 4y ago, and ever since then I've really struggled to get the weight off. Ideally I need to lose about 10-15lbs, but of course those are also the hardest to get ride of. Being shorter - 5'2 - even 10-15lbs can make a huge difference (not just visually, but also in terms of how clothes fit, etc).
For context, I am typically a pretty careful eater and have been for a long time now. I try to focus primarily on protein, fruit, and veg, and minimize carbs (though I don't do keto or anything like that). Thankfully I don't typically have cravings, don't snack between meals, don't eat huge portions, and am disciplined about dessert from years of trying to manage my weight. I also work out 3 days/week, and they are HARD boot camp workouts (about an hour each) - combo of strength training/HIIT, lift, cardio, and even some xfit + I try to challenge myself, so I feel confident that these workouts end up being quite intensive. I could probably benefit from jogging 2 more times/week (for a total of 5 workout days and more cardio), but unfortunately my life and schedule with 2 kids and 3 jobs makes that part a lot harder.
Anyway, despite all of this, I now have a ton of belly and arm fat that I can't seem to shake. Recently I came across psyllium husk and decided to give it a try (the powder). I tapered onto it, so just got up to a full tablespoon a few days ago.
My question is - for those who've seen noticeable weight loss from consuming psyllium husk - how long did it take for you to really see the results? Especially ladies who weren't overly over weight, but still had those pesky 10-15lbs to lose? And, what was your strategy and timing in terms of consuming it? I understand that it will not cause me to lose weight on its own, but between my other careful eating choices and working out, I want to see if the satiety that it results in can help with calorie deficit. I don't eat huge portions (just in general), but perhaps the deficit still isn't where it ought to be.
