I have been researching a lot about how much fiber you get on Atkins, where do you get your fiber?
I was thinking of having everyday a tablespoon of Flax Seed in water.

    Veggies, and nuts. Fruit, depending on where you are on the plan.
    Quest bars are also great, but I don't know what phase I would add them in to...

    Veggies are probably your best bet then.
    They are generally low in carbs and high in fiber.
    My 2 oz of spinach yesterday is 3 g of carbs and 2 g of fiber, giving you a net carb total of 1 g.
    It doesn't seem like a lot of spinach for a salad, but it's pretty good sized!

    I add milled flax to my salmon patties, and I have those once or twice a week. Yummy!
