low carb/high fiber food?
 

does anyone know of any type of food that is low in carbs but high in fiber? I really like Kashi cereal but it is a little too high in carbs for me, any suggestions from you wonderful minds? Thanks! :)

Non starchy veggies...and lots of 'em!
broccoli, green beans, cucumbers,lettuce. :) I am sure there are more that the other chicks will come up with, my mind is sort of blanking out now!!!

celery is loaded with fiber!

unfortunate for me, i dislike celery, I'll eat it in things but plain, no way!

Spinach.
brussels
okra


many people also take fiber caplets for the bulk. I do it mostly in veges. I will take some whole grain crackers but they are to much for the carbs I try to limit to.

Cabbage!!!! :D

peppers!!!!! :DI am a little slow at this eh?

Situps,

Try dipping celery in blue cheese or Ranch salad dressing. You can also stuff it with cream cheese or peanut butter.

yummy!

Hello fellow lo-carbers

I found a few high-fiber, low carb crackers out there. The best of these -- 6 grams carbs, all of which are fiber is called FIBERRICH. Its an imported cracker from Norway. You can find it online from several sources -- its about $3.50 a box with a dozen 2"x3.5 crackers. I used them as the sandwich bread for eggs and turkey bacon...sometimes for cheese and crackers...sometimes to go along with my salad. They taste as you'd expect -- like nondescript cardboard. But I wasn't eating them for the "taste", I was eating them for the fiber and they serve that purpose nicely. I used to eat various mediocre tasting high-fiber cereals (10g+ of fiber per serving), but the overall carb count even after subtracting fiber for any cereal is absurd. So, I'm a fiberrich fan.

Here are a few links to where you can buy it and other low carb products over the net:

I found a couple other cracker options, but they are not anywhere as "safe" a food as the fiberrich. One was from Whole Foods in NYC, but unfortunately I don't have the name of the cracker. If I recall correctly, it was something like 5g of carbs and 4g of fiber. I thought it was the Whole Foods house brand, but apparently it wasn't. I have not been able to find it in Los Angeles.

The last option is more dangerous -- and its probably available at various grocery stores. Its called FINN CRISP. Its 11g of total carbs, 3g fiber making it 8g "active" carbs -- for 3 crackers that are 1.5x5" long. They taste very good. Personally, I don't think going for taste is worth it...but its a personal choice.

Hope this helps.
