Fiber supplementation when low carbing or rotating carbs.

[saint808]

What do you guys use to supplement for fiber during low carbing? I am finding it hard to make choices that give me enough fiber. I was thinking some citrucel capsules or something... or rif anyone knows some good fibrous low carb food let me know.


Thanks,
Saint

romaine lettuce is dr dipasquale's staple of his diet

I use either citrucel, or CVS's own brand.

fibers are carbs (sometimes non digestible but still carbs)

so you won't find food rich in fiber and with low carbs

I like using Fiber One cereal. It actually tastes good and is sweet even though it has no suger. One serving provides 14 grams of fiber 10 grams of complex carbs and 0 Grams of simple carbs. You could try All Bran, it has a few less grams of carbs (I think around 8), but it doesn't taste as good.

I use pure psyllium husks fibre (Solgar) that I dump in my pre-bedtime shake - works great.

I've been using Psyllium Seed Husk,
but the recommended dosage on the bottle says 2@day and each pill is 500mg.

I don't think it's really doing a lot.
Would it be dangerous to increase the dosage?

Flax Seed!

Grind up whole flax seeds and consume within 15 minutes = good source of oil + fiber.

Flax seed fiber is very low in carbs.
