When I started low carbing it was more difficult to get the same amount of fiber into my diet. I was concerned about this because the health of the GI tract affects all the other systems. It's like a second brain...hormones mood etc. Taking out the wholegrains, beans and pulses and adding in more red meat and animal fat which then has a slower transit time through the gut can potentially put one at risk for certain diseases. So I had a look around for lc ways to add fiber and came up with shirataki noodles, whole flax seeds and chia seeds which I roll peanut butter balls around in for some crunch.
