A 1-cup serving of cauliflower veggie has only about 3 net carbs and 2 g of fiber. One oz of pumpkin seed kernels yields a little more than 1 g of net carbs, and nearly 2 g of fiber. 1 cup of broccoli has 6g total carb and 2.4g fiber A 100 g serving (3.5 oz) of raw spinach contains only 1.4 g net carbs and 2.2 g fiber A cup of raw asparagus (4.7 oz) 2.2 g net carbs and 2.8 g fiber Soluble fiber Soluble fiber dissolves in liquids and becomes gel-like in the digestive tract It slows digestion, increases satiety, and when consumed with carbohydrates can slow intestinal absorption and can help minimize increases in postprandial blood glucose Soluble fiber is predominantly found in fruits and legumes, which are not advised on a ketogenic diet, and small amounts are found in vegetables Insoluble fiber Insoluble fiber does not dissolve like soluble fiber does. This type of fiber stays intact and is responsible for what people refer to as “roughage” when speaking of fiber This type of fiber aids in digestion and promotes elimination of waste by the colon Benefits of Both Feeling satiated or full longer after meals: Soluble fiber slows down how quickly foods are digested, meaning most people feel full longer after fiber-rich meals.

NuPasta (Glucomannan - soluble) Regular pasta is made with wheat, a starch which obviously has calories - NuPasta is made with the root of the konjac plant which is rich in dietary fiber and has no starch The absence of starch is the reason why NuPasta is so low in calories - full serving has 6g of carbs A full plate (210g) of regular cooked pasta contains about 300 calories and 2g of dietary fiber, the same amount of NuPasta contains 25 calories and 6g of dietary fiber - NuPasta is also gluten free All NuPasta products are made with water, non-GMO soy, and konjac Resistant Starch (Insoluble) Some starch is actually resistant to digestion, so that it passes through the digestive system unchanged - this type of starch is called resistant starch, and it functions like soluble, fermentable fiber in the gut A study published in the American Society for Microbiology found that a raw potato diet (RS2) caused human-derived fecal communities to show a major rise in Bacteroides and Eubacterium rectale (beneficial bacteria that thrive on RS2), due to the diet over-feeding them with thei
