Science Says...
eat more diverse fibers!

You have a zoo in you. We all do. Our bodies need a teeming microbial zoo (aka microbiome, or "bodzoo") to be healthy. These trillions of tiny teammates toil to co-digest your food. For a merrier microbiome, you've got to eat lots of diverse fibers.
NanoSalad is your bodzoo's second favorite fuel (after butt-loads of full-size salads). Most fiber products use only one source, which isn't great for a balanced bodzoo (and often the source isn't a common food, for example, one leading brand uses psyllium husks, when was the last time you ate those?).

1. Almost everybody needs to eat more fibers (which means our microbiomes, aka bodzoos, are underfed).
(We used the plural fibers to emphasize that to avoid a miserable microbiome your bodzoo needs multiple fiber sources and types.)
Here's a great Vox article on the benefits of fiber as a "superfood" that 95% of Americans don't get enough of.
2. With more fiber in meals many report feeling fuller (here's a relevant study, it's complicated). And more fiber in meals changes how they're digested, for example (e.g., here's research that says "the metabolizable energy of ...diets decreased as fiber intake increased," and here's a report which says on "a high fiber diet... fecal fat, protein, carbohydrate, and calories were more than doubled," see section 3.2.6).
3. What counts isn't just calories eaten, but calories absorbed. Here's a good article on "The Death of The Calorie" (with great factoids like some people's intestines are twice as long, which means they absorb much more from what they eat).
4. Every bod is so different its hard to know what average results of group studies mean for you (hence our free trial offer, $1 shipping).
This New York Times article reports "substantial and surprising variations in how well participants processed fats and carbohydrates, even among identical twins." For example "After eating potato chips, one subject repeatedly experienced a triglyceride peak six times higher than that of an identical twin."
5. What matters isn't only how much of each nutritional category you eat, it's the combinations and the whole "food matrix." The closer to whole food, and the further from "ultra-processed" food, the better. Here's a summary of a study in which people consume an average of 500 calories a day more when eating "ultra-processed" foods. NanoSalad can make your favorite processed foods less naughty, adding plant solids in tiny whole food matrix flakes (sized so that by the time they get past your stomach, they're as close as possible to you having chewed the veggies yourself).
6. Some experts, having long struggled to find restrictive diets that people can stick to, are changing their advice. Here's a New York Times article called "Eat Your Veggies," that says "Rather than browbeating people to reduce their consumption of the fats and sugars ... adding healthier foods... a more effective way to reduce mortality." NanoSalad lets you sneak more veggies into whatever you're eating.
7. NanoSalad is tiny, but powerful, having about 18 times higher fiber density (by weight) than bran cereals. So it's best to try it to see how it works for you. Order a Free Trial and especially if you're not used to veggies, start small and build up to figure out what size suits your unique bod best.
