Now that everyone is preoccupied debating diets on another thread, i hope we can get back to the actual atkins/low carb plan....something that hasn't been brought up but is important is fiber....you have to take a supplement , but whether you are dieting or not you should always try to take in a good dosage of fiber each day.....to that end, I will admit that one of the things I use is ......No laughing now....COLON CLEANSE....I swear its embarrassing even buying the stuff a GNC but the stuff works...a tablespoon in some water or in a shake and you are all set....but BEWARE the first couple times you use it.....ever wonder where all those carbs and white bread you ate all your life went???? well your about to see train like you've never seen before LOL..I use it every other day only as a supplement and a lot of research has said that it will prevent colon cancer.

Colon cleans is pure Phsyllium husk and one of the highest fiber content foods around....so only a teaspoon or so will give you what you need as opposed to eating a bowl of raisin bran....most of the metamucils out there are based on this although they often time grind it up into finer particles...this stuff is much bigger and is like the last stop on a train: " everybody out"!! LOL
the reason i mention this LS is that when you are doing low carbs, traditional foods that have a high fiber content are usually mixed in with a ton of carbs...so this is a good supplement...Even if you are on a low fat high carb diet this is a good supplement because i guarantee your not getting the full fiber dosage from many of the processed food today.
