Question Fiber?

I hate to bring up such an unpleasant subject when I am so new, but it's my most pressing question. How do you all manage to get enough fiber in your diets when you are low carbing? I have always needed to be especially careful about getting enough fiber and now I don't quite know what to do. I used to have a nice bowl of good bran cereal every morning. Problem solved. But we all know about the carbohydrates in that solution. When I was reading up about low carbing, I read that flax seeds were recommended and that is another familiar solution for me. I have always just eaten them by the teaspoon full when I needed to. They don't taste bad and they do the trick. So that's what I have been doing, but I suddenly realized that they aren't exactly low carb, either, at least not in the amounts I have need to eat (about a quarter to half cup I day, I would guess).

Any suggestions?

Darcy
