Most of us don’t get enough dietary fiber from the daily foods we eat and following a low-carb diet makes the task even more challenging. While experts recommend consuming approximately 21 to 25 grams (women) to 30 to 38 grams (men) of fiber a day from a variety of foods, the typical American averages just 15 grams — and “low carb-ers” even less!

Eliminating whole grains, legumes, most fruits, many vegetables and other sources of carbohydrates can make meeting dietary fiber goals difficult. But, if you choose the right low-carb high-fiber foods, you can be well on your way to a daily fiber gold star – and get to eat a few unexpected things in the process (like this beautiful salad that I calculated to meet MY needs with about 3/4 the daily fiber requirement just for 12g net carb)!
