31 High Fiber Low Carb Foods
It’s a fact — fiber is a carbohydrate. That said, many of you count NET carbs, versus TOTAL carbs, which is essentially the total carbs of any given food, minus the fiber (and sugar alcohols, but that’s a convo for a different article…).
Anyway, the reason for this is that fiber passes through the digestive tract largely unchanged.
Which is why many on a low carb (or keto!) eating plan are ALL ABOUT these high fiber low carb foods!!
