Hi, due to a health condition, I aiming for about 30 grams of carbs a day or less, but I want to up my fiber intake. Can anyone tell me what foods are very high in fiber but very low or absent in carbs? Those on low carb diets like the candida diet or atkin's, how do you get your fiber? Thanks.

    I drink Walker Diet shakes; inexpensive, low carb, high in protein, and lots of fiber.

    raw veggies! work in a healthy salad with your meals. You could also take metamucil which is psyllium husk and not absorbed by the body.

    The following foods have more fibre than net carbs:

    Flaxseed/linseed has 27g of fibre and 2g of carbs per 100g.
    Shirataki noodles have about 5g of fibre and 1g of carbs per 100g.
    Celeriac (celery root) has about 4g of fibre and 2g of carbs per 100g.
    Mushrooms have about a gram of fibre and half a gram of carbs per 100g.

    more vegetables and fats will help you move things along. I dont believe one needs to take supplements...any daily recommendation of fiber isn't true.

    VEGETABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're already supposed to be eating at least five servings per day! 9 servings would be better. Eliminate grains.

    Sorry, my error, wish I was a genius like others. I just had it in my mind that fiber can offer the benefit of offsetting the negative effects of carbs on the body (at least in my case, as a diabetic). I'll step out now and leave this to the resident genius.

    Are you shooting for 40g NET? Or 40g total, regardless of the grams of fiber?

    Check out Quest Protein Bars - questproteinbar.com

    All natural, gluten free, high fiber (17 - 18 grams), high protein. Net carbs are 4 - 5g per bar!
    And they taste amazing! Unlike ANY other bar on the market!

    I take fibre supplements, usually psyllium husk in some format or other, easily available from any health food shop. Veg too but that can start to load up the carbs depending which veg you choose. but I'll check out some of the suggestions here - maybe the protein bar if I can get it in the UK.

    fiber is a kind of carb.

    She said low carb, not no carb. As in... broccoli is healthier than a chocolate chip cookie...
