[QUOTE="graham64, post: 103425, member: 10150"] Hi, This topic has been covered before in the LC forum: [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8995&hilit=fibre&start=15]viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8995&hilit=fibre&start=15[/url] And in the non LC forum [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=8990]viewtopic.php?f=24&t=8990[/url] You need to read both because the topic was split between the two forums, and as such some posts in the non LC forum have been answered in the LC forum, as mine to Phoenix was. So what's new as far as I can gather nothing, I have yet to see any evidence that Low Carbers are suffering from the effects of a lack of fibre. Admittedly I have only been LC for 18 months but others after many years of LC have not experienced problems. As most of the high fibre foods put forward are also high in carbs I have a choice, Low Carb with all the benefits gained from low BG or increase the fibre rich carbs and risk the many complications of running high numbers. Statistics show there are 100 diabetes related amputations per week, I don't intend to go down that road. If anyone is bothered about a lack of dietary fibre many low carbers have found flax is an excellent source of fibre at 23g per 100g, and it also can provide essential nutrients. Due to the high fibre content it can have a laxative effect so don't overdo it.
