Fibre is the overlooked macro on keto. While carbs are restricted, dietary fibre — which does not raise blood sugar — remains important for gut health, digestion, and cholesterol management.
Soluble fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces LDL cholesterol, slows digestion, and supports bowel regularity. Insoluble fibre adds bulk and promotes healthy elimination.
Aim for 25g total fibre per day. This is challenging on keto but achievable with the right food choices.
Avocado (6.7g fibre per 100g), chia seeds (34g fibre per 100g), flaxseed (27g fibre per 100g), broccoli (2.6g), Brussels sprouts (3.8g), psyllium husk (71g fibre per 100g — extraordinary), and dark leafy greens (2–4g per 100g).
Half a large avocado (3.4g) + large salad with leafy greens (3g) + broccoli side (2.6g) + tablespoon of flaxseed in your morning yoghurt (2.7g) = ~12g fibre. Add a psyllium husk supplement to reach targets.
