People are going to have a lot of opinions/advice/whatever about what you are doing, especially when you low carb. If you really want to read up on all the misinformation about fat, fiber, exercise, carbs, etc. you could pick up the book Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, he blows the lid off of a lot of conventional diet "wisdom"...otherwise, just a summary is that the studies that have been done saying that we need 30g of fiber in our diets to ward off things like diverticulitis, colon cancer, etc....they aren't well respected, and actually there is evidence (please don't just take my word for this!) that eating a lot fiber like in seeds actually CAUSES those diseases.
