all thats gona happen of eating too much fiber is a lot of gasssss... and poop... thats about it
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

You need about 10 to 13 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories.
Too much can cause diarrhea, poor nutrient absorption, and intestinal gas.
Here is some more info.

they are right. you can eat too much fiber because when you do your intestines don't have to work as hard. those muscles get weak, so when you change your diet you can have a hard time digesting your food (constipation). but definitely stay within i believe it is 20grams a day and you should be fine.

Not true! Risks are constipation and bad gas! Everything in moderation....that is the key!
