Most of us are trained to get our fiber from carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, fruits and cereals. On a low carbohydrate diet, these foods are restricted. It becomes necessary, therefore, to find alternative methods to increase the fiber in your diet.

However, many vegetables have as much fiber, or more, per serving than a slice of bread. Good veggie sources of fiber for low-carbers include spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, and celery.

In addition, psyllium husks and flax meal, either mixed with water or sprinkled on food, are inexpensive and excellent sources of fiber. There are also flax meal cereals, such as Bob’s Red Mill brand, that can be made into porridge with excellent fiber and no carbohydrates.

If necessary, a synthetic form of fiber such as Metamucil should be utilized. Remember, you are not only expediting your weight loss, you are also protecting yourself from potential health problems.
