Dietary guidelines in most western countries would give the impression we require six serves of cereal and grain-based foods per day to achieve adequate intake (25 - 30g fibre/day) and aid regular bowel movements.
Let me show you how easy it is to consume more than half your daily fibre requirements and almost surpass the average daily fibre intake (20g/day) in just one lower carbohydrate meal. There isn't one grain in site, you'll enjoy every mouthful and feel satisfied for hours after eating it!
Please also know that there isn't an upper limit set for fibre. Most people could tolerate and possibly benefit from more than just 30g fibre each day. If you notice any discomfort, bloating or gas in doing so then build intake incrementally, rather than all at once.
Enjoy!
