does anyone have suggestions on how to boost fibre on a low carb diet? Im eating berries and chia at breakfast and lots of veg at noon and for dinner, but I still come up short on the fibre....

    Please open your diary so we can see what your veg are contributing to your fiber.

    Chia seeds and flax seed are the best options. Chia has like 2 or grams of net carbs and flax seed actually has zero. So, if I feel the need for more fiber, I put 2 tbs of flax seed in a smoothie that morning to boost my fiber. But, I don't do that every day since I don't want my carb count to get too ridiculously high since I eat a lot of broccoli and spinach already.
