    I aim for 25-30g fiber daily and hit that easily now that I've added a serving of Fiber One cereal to my morning. I also eat almonds and avodado. My net carbs are in the 30s, though I can go as high as 60s net and stay in keto. Why do I like fiber? To help keep my cholesterol in check and scrape the intestinal tract, amongst other things. Once starting keto, my fats and cholesterol got out of whack and so did my blood pressure (the BP likely also being from BCP, which I am now no longer on). It doesn't hurt anything, and for some reason I like the idea that I am doing my part to reduce heart disease and stroke risk. I guess I'm funny like that.

    Why would you want to "scrape" any internal organ? That just sounds risky! Fat lubricates everything so scraping is unnecessary...
