Broccoli provides several important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and potassium. Limited research suggests it may potentially help reduce markers of inflammation. In addition, it’s a good source of fiber. One cup (150 grams) of chopped, cooked broccoli contains 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of net carbs. Broccoli is especially tasty when sauteed in butter or roasted in olive oil. When dining out, ask your server to replace potatoes, rice, or other starch with steamed broccoli and butter. Diet Doctor recipes featuring broccoli: 3. Blackberries and raspberries Fruit usually isn’t a great fit for a ketogenic diet because most types are high in carbs. Berries are a delicious exception that can be enjoyed in small amounts occasionally, even on a strict keto diet. Which kinds are highest in fiber? Blackberries and raspberries, which are also the berries lowest in net carbs. Raspberries provide 6.5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of net carbs per two-thirds cup (100-gram) serving, and blackberries follow closely behind with 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of net carbs for the same serving size. Berries with fresh cream are a simple yet elegant dessert. Frozen berries can be a good option if fresh aren’t available. Diet Doctor recipes featuring blackberries or raspberries: 4. Asparagus Asparagus is a popular vegetable with a delicate taste and texture. It’s also filling and a good source of the B vitamins and vitamin C.

Diet Doctor recipes featuring asparagus: 5. Chia seeds Chia seeds are a unique seed that forms a gel when combined with liquid. Some studies suggest they may improve blood sugar levels and help you feel full. Chia seeds are an excellent keto-friendly source of fiber. Two tablespoons (28 grams) provide 10 grams of fiber and 2 grams of net carbs. Stir the seeds into water or other liquid and let the mixture stand for a minimum of 15 minutes before consuming it. To improve the taste, add cocoa powder or vanilla with a keto sweetener, if desired. Diet Doctor recipes featuring chia seeds: 6. Macadamia nuts Macadamia nuts are a favorite among keto and low-carb enthusiasts. Although eating macadamias may feel indulgent, they’re a nutritious food that’s not only low carb but may help lower LDL cholesterol. Their fiber content is pretty impressive as well. A three-quarter cup (100-gram) serving has just under 9 grams of fiber and 5 grams of net carbs. Macadamia nuts are a delicious portable snack that can be enjoyed anytime.

Dried coconut Coconut is a tasty tropical fruit that’s high in fat, including saturated fats called medium-chain triglycerides. Unlike banana, pineapple, and other tropical fruits, coconut is low in carbs and isn’t very sweet. In its dried form, it’s also quite high in fiber. One-half cup (40 grams) of dried, unsweetened coconut provides 7 grams of fiber and 3 grams of net carbs. It makes a great stand-alone snack and also adds texture and flavor to plain Greek yogurt.

It’s received its share of controversy because, like soy, it contains isoflavones. However, overall, flaxseed appears to have neutral to beneficial effects on health, when consumed in small amounts. We recommend that you limit your daily intake to a maximum of two tablespoons of ground flaxseed. Two tablespoons (14 grams) of ground flaxseed have 4 grams of fiber and 0.2 gram of net carbs. Diet Doctor recipes featuring flaxseed: 15. Psyllium husk Psyllium husk is well known for its laxative properties. It’s the active ingredient in many products designed to relieve constipation, such as Metamucil. Like flaxseed, it’s often used to give low-carb and keto baked goods a texture similar to high-carb favorites, including bread. Psyllium is extremely high in fiber. One tablespoon (10 grams) of psyllium husk powder provides 8 grams of fiber and slightly less than 1 gram of net carb. When taking psyllium powder as a laxative, it’s important to mix it with plenty of water, as taking it alone can be a choking hazard. However, when combined with other ingredients and baked into low-carb recipes, psyllium doesn’t pose this risk. Diet Doctor recipes featuring psyllium: High fiber + low carb = a winning combination For some people, dietary fiber can be beneficial for health. Yet whole grains, beans, and other high-fiber foods don’t work well for a low-carb lifestyle. The good news is that you needn’t sacrifice fiber to stay keto. By choosing fiber-rich foods that are also low in carbs, you can get the best of both worlds. / Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE
