Fiber is o.k on Keto?

no you cannot
Fiber isn't digested therefore will pass right through which is why green vegetables are ok to eat on a keto diet. Don't try to cheat the system however and sneak some carbs that you assume are mostly fiber. Beans are very high in fiber but I guarantee if you start fooling around with foods like this thinking you're under the magic 30g of carb limit then you're going to knock yourself out of ketosis and screw yourself up.

NO carbohydrates of ANY TYPE....period...fiber or not, carbohydrate ratios should be kept under 15 carbs a day and no more then 6 carbs a meal. Otherwise, you are risking getting kicked out of 'Ketosis'.

mr x.... for the first time I disagree with a post of yours!
I eat about 40 grams of carbs daily ALL FIBER... and I
stay in KETOSIS...
If I eat 40 grams of carbs... non FIBER... i get knocked
right out...
Even atkins himself says that you can eat all the fiber
you want!

Dear Cozmokramer,
You have to take in account the fact that you have been in a Ketonic state for quiet a while. From what I understand you use CKD, and have been using it for an amountable period of time. Now, on the other hand, our friend, iced earth, is just starting out (I base this on his question about watermelon), which is why I say he needs to follow the ratios I've listed. Once his body adapts to a Ketonic state (3-4, weeks) then he can have up to 30 carbs a day (as long as he has some fiber with it/fat). Still, remember, not 30 carbs all at once, even if your body is adapted to a Ketonic state.

anyone going on a low carb diet should read "body opus"by duchaine that is the best book on the subject even though it's not new

Body Opus is a great book, but I believe 'The Ketogenic Diet' by Lyle McDonald is better. He references 'Body Opus', but discusses more different types of ketogenic diets. A TKD is really the only one that's worked well for me for any length of time.
