Food Chain presenter Ruth Alexander was confident that she was eating a healthy diet, in particular, a diet that included enough fibre. But it turns out, like many of us, her fibre intake has been falling short of the recommended amount. In fact all over the world most of us are failing to eat enough, despite the growing trend for so called "fibremaxxing" where people try to maximise their daily intake. So how can we boost our fibre intake? And does it really have to involve chia seeds? Ruth picks the brains of fibre expert Professor Joanne Slavin from the University of Minnesota and Fathima Abdoola, known as The Cultural Dietitian, based in Brisbane Australia. And psychologist Phillippa Lally from the University of Surrey in the UK, explains how we can make our well intentioned new habits stick.

This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.
Every Sunday, we talk about the week's tech news on This Week in Tech.
Hi, this is Leo Laporte, inviting you to join me this week with Lisa Schmeiser, Dan Patterson, and Yanko Reckers.
We're going to talk about the new 49 megabyte web page.
It's the standard, you know.
We'll also talk about Elon Musk, you've got some spleenin' to do, and the Yassify filter, new from NVIDIA.
That's This Week on This Week in Tech.
You'll find it at twit. tv or wherever you get your podcasts.
It feels like anyone who 's anyone on social media right now is fibre maxing,
maximising the fibre content in their breakfast, smoothies, brownies, you name it.
Hey, quick question.
Are you fibromaxing?
Everybody's talking about fibromaxing, but most people have no idea.
Let me explain.
This half-cup serving of oats only has four grams of fibre.
But to fibromax even more, here's what you could eat.
And yet, out here in real life, most of us aren't eating nearly enough fibre.
In the UK and the US, for example, studies show about nine out of ten people do n't,
with average intake about half what it should be.
This is the Food Chain from the BBC World Service with me, Ruth Alexander.
