Default Favourite ideas for increasing fiber without effecting carb or protein counts???

I was used to eating a LOT of veggies and along with that comes plenty o fiber, but i'm currently eating VLC/restricted protein and i'm missing the amt of fiber that i used to get. i went from super lazy keto to weighing and measuring everything, and tracking all of it. my naturopath wants me taking fiber every day to help soak up extra estrogen, and of course, it helps keep everything 'regular'!! LOL

i've tried some interesting things to get my fiber counts up.

in elana's pantry cookbook, she talks about a flax tea where she mixes ground flax with boiling water, lets it sit for 10 min and then drinks it. i tried that but it was like a thin gruel and i couldn't do it

fung has a chia seed/water mix in his 'fasting liquids' section of the fasting book. that actually works sort of ok for me, but the texture is weird. i know some people take psyllium just mixed in water, but i can't get it down.

somebody on reddit was mixing psyllium into their fat bombs to get some fiber in. i don't know about the mouth feel of something like that!!

shirataki noodles are easy, but i can't eat them everyday.

i was thinking about making some chia/flax/psyllium crackers.

https://charliefoundation.org/crackers/ something like this might work, but the hemp hearts are too protein-y and i have no idea what that spice mix is. i'd have to use different spices and run it thru the cronometer first...

i used to make paleo english muffins which had lots of fiber and used psyllium powder as a 'flour', but can't really use them any more because they throw out my carb and protein count for the day with the egg and the coconut flour...


any other idea to increase fiber without pushing up carbs or protein???
