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)! Read on to discover how easy it is to ramp up your roughage with these 10 High Fiber Foods for Low Carb Diets.
