I've read that too much fibre causes poor mineral absorption, what is a good fibre intake that won't cause this but will help with weight loss?

I'm trying to up my fibre and protein in my diet to help with weight loss, but I've read a couple things that too much fibre could affect your ability to absorb minerals. What is a good level of fibre that will amplify weight loss but not handicap my mineral intake? Are there other things I should watch out for when attempting to increase my fibre and protein intake?
