[6] [7] High-fibre foods that may support GLP-1 production include: Oats and barley rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that slows digestion and promotes sustained GLP-1 release Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) provide both soluble fibre and resistant starch Vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and leafy greens contain prebiotic fibres that feed beneficial gut bacteria Nuts and seeds (almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds) offer fibre alongside healthy fats Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and wholemeal bread deliver sustained energy and fibre When increasing fibre intake, it's advisable to do so gradually and ensure adequate fluid intake to avoid digestive discomfort
