High fiber low carb foods aren’t a figment of your imagination — They actually exist and many of them taste great!!!

Most of us have been raised on modern convenience foods… Which is why it takes some getting used to for those of us who decide to eat healthily and make low carb foods the cornerstone of our diets.

So, I’m here to simplify things for my fellow low carb-ers.

Hopefully, this list helps some overcome those hurdles that can slow down progress or limit creativity in the kitchen! Here’s everything you need to know about high fiber low carb foods!

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!!

Why High Fiber Foods Are Important:

High fiber foods are essential to a healthy diet. While you probably associate adequate fiber intake with a healthy colon, reaching your recommended daily allowance offers multiple important health benefits.

It can help lower cholesterol, balance blood sugar and even help you live longer. Studies have shown that increasing your daily fiber intake reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Consuming plenty of fiber can also help you reach your weight loss goals by keeping you full longer.

Low Carb Fiber Supplements

There are so many different fiber supplements out there it can make your head spin! Simply taking a fiber supplement doesn’t always offer the same health benefits as a high fiber diet so it’s important to follow a high-quality nutritious meal plan.

To make matters worse, many of the modern chewable and gummies contain plenty of sugar to make them more appealing — which can wreck your low carb diet plan.

Psyllium husk seems to be the most widely studied fiber supplement and it offers most of the same nutritious health benefits as the fiber found in whole foods. Plus, you can cook with it and it’s low carb!

Psst — It’s important to note that you should drink plenty of water when taking any fiber supplement. Fiber expands in the digestive system and soaks up the moisture!
