Low carb doesn't necessarily mean NO carb. I agree with some of the other comments about fruits and veggies--eat 'em! Not just salads; steamed broccoli and cauliflower are good sources of fiber (don't cook them to death. Learn how to steam them so they have a little bite to them). There are also low carb breads that have lots of fiber. Google 'high fiber veggies and fruits' and see what comes up. Try to get your fiber sources as naturally as you can; you'll be poopin' in no time!
