Low carb diet - constipation

You could try a adding a fiber powder like Metamucil to your diet. They have a sugar free orange drink on that is about 11g of carbs for 2 rounded tablespoons. You could maybe start with 1 tablespoon and see how it goes, that would only be 5.5g of carbs. Good luck! I'm on a medication that slows me down a lot and I struggle with this often. I haven't tried this myself, but I think I might give it a go!

It's always best to get your fiber from the food you eat. Since your carbs are so limited, try to mainly eat veggies and grains that are higher in fiber; for instance, zucchini, cucumber, mushrooms, and carrots, (to name a some) have less fiber than foods like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, black beans, or oats.

You could also add chia seeds to your diet. They don't add very much flavor to food, but they have a good fiber content without adding to many calories. Just soak them for a few hours in liquid before you eat them as it helps make them more easily digestible.

I agree with the chia seeds. I mix them in yogurt with some water since chia seeds absorb it.

How much fat are you eating? How much water are you drinking? Increasing both can help!

Just eat like...double the veg. Also make sure you're getting enough fat.

it doesn't matter what your macros are for weight loss. You can lose the same amount of weight eating 60% carbs, like I often do. Honestly, it's all a matter of cico, thus chose food you can eat for the rest of your life, and not what some people suggest in some crazy diets. If possible I would up fat though as it's both grait for your brains and for digestion.

Don't take fiber supplements like metamucil etc. Just eat real food. And volume is key to avoiding constipation because the bulk increases movement through the colon. Instead of adding fats like others are suggesting, use those calories instead for potatoes, rice, more beans and lentils and also fruits.

Eat spinach and more celery, both of those have massive amount of fiber and are low carb and yes adding more fat helps, but if you are truly doing low carb look at your potassium and magnesium levels too, supplementing your diet with those help.
