What are the best sources of dietary fiber?
The best food sources are fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, and limited amounts of whole grains or their brans (see below). Most members of the plant kingdom provide us with at least a small amount of fiber, while animals, provide us with none. (Don’t let the use of the word “fiber” with respect to animals fool you — it does not mean dietary fiber.) Since lowcarb dieters cannot eat enough of many of the best sources of fiber to get even the minimum recommended amount, we have a special FAQ on fiber for lowcarbers.
