how do we get enough fiber through diet when trying to stay under 20 carbs a day?!?
I think it's impossible. So, what's a good daily fiber supplement that you don't have to drink? Some kind of pill.
PLUS, many supplements have carbs!!! WTF?

I use Renew Life Organic Triple Fiber only 40 cals, 5g carbs and 3g protein.

Mix with a diluted juice to curb those sugars ;)!
Ps... I don't use it everyday, only when I'm feeling like I'm not getting enough roughage.
5 CARBS!!! That's a fourth of my day's total!Quote:

true, true. I do count net carbs.....
Why are your carbs so low? I was told to keep my carbs at 90G per day. Some days I hit it and some I do not. I think you're restricting too much.
I'm super carb sensitive. Also, I'm still in the losing phase. Once I get to maintenance, I'll add them back slowly. Plus, I still have no control over "carby" stuff. I've never been much of a fruit eater anyway, so not eating fruit was not an issue at all. I do love veggies, though, and will add them back gradually. But I can't be trusted around a piece of bread or pasta!Quote:

I know on what I use which is beneifiber its 4 carbs and 3 of which is fiber so you don't count those when counting carbs. Really I don't count those few or the few from my chewable vitamins when I track my macros anyway.
I track everything....because those little 1 carbs add up, and if you're trying to stay very low carb, they can add up to be 1/4-1/2 a day's carbs!Quote:

nice! I'd like to see what you eat in a day. I have trouble staying under 20 gms a day, although I have started adding in veggies, and, dare I say it...treats! like sf pudding !
