Low net carb, I think - since you’re supposed to subtract the fiber grams from total carb grams.
A big bowl of raisin bran in the mornings usually does the trick for me - that and keeping bags of baby carrots around for snacking. Not that I necessarily practice what I preach… but the nice thing with something like bran is it can also help when they go too far the other way.
Deli sandwich? Ask for whole grain bread (won’t add a ton, but it’s better than plain white), and get lettuce / tomato / whatever else.
You’re correct. People who count “net” carbs are subtracting grams of fiber from grams of carbs to get “net” carbs. Food companies that want to make a product for low carb diets either lower the carbs, (sugar and texture) or increase fiber.
Some people thought the 2008 financial crisis was too complicated to explain, but it’s as simple as a church bake sale.
A church holds an annual bake sale to raise money. It’s mostly people selling bran muffins to each other. Most of the muffins are made from flour, bran, baking powder, margarine, a touch of salt, an egg, maybe a sprinkle of spice. And these wholesome ingredients are similar to what is in proper financial investments.
But one day, Mrs. Sofeldt decides that these ingredients are expensive. Thinking about how she can cut costs, she decides to add some shyte to the batter (may contain nuts). At first, she doesn’t add much. But she enjoys saving money and no one at the bake sale seems to notice. It’s like a financial company calling shyte risky mortgages “Wisconsin creamery butter” and adding lots of that to their recipe.
Over time, Mrs. Sofeldt adds more and more shyte - she is overegging the pudding - but she is saving a lot of money! But eventually the taste and texture suffer, and word gets out. Pretty soon, people are nervous and no one is buying any muffins at the church bake sale at all. Then the financial markets collapse.
I’ve tried the bean burritos and they are efficient, fiber-wise. But I’m trying your other suggestion of OJ +M and so far it’s a good sustainable way to do it. Thanks.
Mild bump here. Thank you for this advice, it’s been very helpful. I had tried Metamucil before and was mixing it with hot water, but that didn’t taste good and I soon came to dread it and stopped. But now with the OJ, it is so much better and I drink it every day.
