Will taking 5 fiber pills per night (2g each) cause me to have more bowel movements and lose more weight than before I took them?

Is fiber pills a weight loss aid? Does more fiber intake mean I lose more weight with heavier bowel movements or what does it mean?

No.

Moderate exercise and nutritious diet is the magic pill.

I was under the impression that fiber provokes extra and/or heavier bowel movements. If it doesn't, then what is it supposed to do?

Fiber is basically shoes to help guide the bm easier. Its calories in minus calories out for what is going to help weight loss.

Don't consume a lot of fiber and expect to lose weight, though. It's not going to happen. Everything in moderation.

So many people think fibre is the key. Fibre actually makes things worse for some people because you’re supposed to be well hydrated if you increase your fibre. Most people are not hydrated. Start crushing like 3L of water a day and watch the magic.
