The newest buzzword dominating health conversations is fibremaxxing. Fibre has emerged as the new wellness hero on social media and wellness centres alike. But what does it really mean to 'fibremaxx' your diet, and why are experts calling it one of 2025's most meaningful food movements? Let's discuss in detail.

At its core, fibremaxxing is the conscious effort to increase fibre intake through whole, plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, lentils, nuts, and seeds. It's a nutrition trend that promotes better digestion, metabolic balance, and gut health.

What it is

“Fibremaxxing is the newest and healthiest nutrition phenomenon to grab the attention of the wellness world, and for the right reasons,” says Dr. Pratyaksha Bhardwaj, World Record Holder and Dietitian. “It is an intentional fibre increase that lead to better digestion, metabolism, and health in general. Although it might sound like a fad, it actually has strong scientific backing.”

According to Dr. Bhardwaj, the majority of people, especially urban Indians, consume far less fibre than the recommended 25-35 grams per day. “Following the concept of Fibremaxxing, people will be eating a lot of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds, which not only support bowel health but also feed the gut microbiota, improving immunity and even mood,” she explains.
