The low-carb trend has exploded in popularity in recent years, with an estimated 16% of adults in the US following some form of a low-carb diet (1<\/a>).

Between keto, Atkins, paleo, carb-cycling, and more, low-carb eating takes on a number of different forms, each one with its own set of proposed benefits for health, weight loss, and treating specific medical conditions like epilepsy and diabetes (2<\/a>).

Besides being low in starches and sugars, there’s something else these diets tend to have in common: they aren’t usually that high in fiber.

Food groups that are high in fiber are naturally high in carbohydrates \u2013 think whole grains, fruit, beans, and starchy vegetables. So those reducing their intake of these food groups in order to cut down on carbs are likely to lose out on the fiber, too.

With that said, you might be wondering if you’ll be able to get enough fiber on a low-carb diet.

Luckily, studies have set out to answer this exact question.

They discovered that, with the right food choices, it’s very much possible to meet and even exceed the recommended intake for fiber even if you’re cutting out grains (3<\/a>).

If you’re struggling to find food options that are packed with fiber, but not carbs \u2013 you’re in the right place. Here’s a breakdown of what to look for when shopping for high-fiber, low-carb foods, along with 11 of the best options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
