No, hanna, they state that High carb diets have a recommendation of 25g of fiber a day. Because we do not eat the binding carbs that are found in flour, rice and breads 25g of fiber is not necessary when LCing. 10 - 15g of fiber should do fine. Fiber can be subtracted from your carb count because while it is a carbohydrate it cannot be apsorbed by the body; it passes right through. It doesnt effect insuling nor does it count toward your carb or calorie totals.
