Artichoke hearts HAVE 7.8 grams OF carbs per 1/2 cup AND yet THE fiber count is 6 grams. It's easy TO see why donuts do what they do now, isn't it?

Fiber is also easily obtained through certain seeds like flax AND flaxmeal, which makes a great hot cereal. As a matter OF fact, 1/4 cup OF flaxmeal hot cereal has 13 grams OF carbs, but 6 grams of
fiber FOR a net carb count OF 7 grams. Compared TO THE same amount OF oatmeal with 18 grams OF carbs, 3 grams OF fiber FOR a net carb count OF 15 grams. See THE difference?

Take vegetables FOR example. Potatoes, corn AND a few others aren't going TO BE too low carb friendly, but check OUT broccoli. With a carb count OF 1.9 grams per 1/2 serving, THE fiber content is
1.1 grams. That means THE net carb value is only 0.8. Not too shabby!

Folks somehow HAVE this notion that your mouth will never again chomp into a sandwich or that your diet will devoid on anything fiber-filled. It doesn't HAVE TO BE that way. You can HAVE your low carb AND get fiber too! Here's how.
Fiber won't make you fat!
There is a simple math equation that you need TO do TO understand how this works. Fiber is a non-nutritive substance that aids IN digestion. It isn't processed IN your body like say, a donut would be
(which is completely fiberless AND filled TO overflowing with sugar).21
1/2 cup chicken broth
