Will I get enough fiber on a low carb plan?

Low Carb FAQ
If you are eating a lot of processed foods and very few fruits and veggies, you are probably not getting enough fiber now! Most people get their fiber from bread, pasta, cereals, fruits and veggies, but if you read the labels on most of the foods you eat you will see that the processed foods contain very little fiber. Since most of these foods will be eliminated on a low carb way of eating you will need to rely more heavily on getting fiber from fruits and vegetables.

What about low-carb and high-protein diets?

Carbohydrates are an important part of our diet; by cutting down on them, or eliminating them, you are avoiding vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Indeed the protein diet is controversial, and for reason - people are losing weight on this plan, but at what cost? I agree with most weight management professionals: I don't like it. Protein is certainly a nutrient that we need on a daily basis, but not in large amounts.

Unfortunately, most people accept the information as fact. Dropping carbohydrates(sugars) too low while on an exercise program can alter your body's T3 levels.

What is the difference between whole-wheat and whole-grain bread?

English Nutritional Recommendations Page 3 FAQ - EMail
he glycemic index of whole-grain bread (40) is lower than that of whole-wheat (50) because the flour hasn't undergone the process of bolting. In view of its low glycemic index, whole-grain bread induces a weak glycemic reaction (amount of sugar released into the bloodstream) and limits the storage of fatty acids (fat) because there is no excessive release of insulin (a hormone that lowers glycemia and stimulates fat retention).

Durum wheat (e.g. Ebly) is an excellent low calorie food worth including in a healthy diet. It's not possible to calculate its GiP value until its Gi is known (see unlisted foods).
