Fibre

Green veg, wholemeal bread. I can eat around 80-100g of carbs a day. Some cant. How low are you aiming for?

Not losing weight at the moment so thinking of getting rid of wholemeal bread but concerned about where to get fibre from if i do
 
I eat 40-60g carbs/day, I incorporate seeds into my diet for fibre, mainly milled flaxseed, I stir a dessert spoonful into my meals, stirred into soups, curries etc.. I don’t even notice it’s there. I sometimes make chia pudding with chia seeds and I add more psyllium husk than the recipe calls for in low carb coconut ‘porridge’ that I eat for breakfast each day.
 
Swede, butternut squash, courgettes, cabbage, beans, peas, lentils, carrots, cauliflower, aubergines, peppers etc
 
I don't eat many veg at all. I get my fibre from ready ground flaxseed. I add it to my lunches mainly - tinned salmon, egg mayo, sliced in half cherry toms, cheese. I just sprinkle it on, like you might with salt and pepper. I would say about a dessertspoon. It can also go in soups and stews or casseroles. Apart from all the fibre, it is full of Omega 3, so it is win-win. I don't have any issues with the old bowels.
