How do people do low carb diets and don't get constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fresh veggies: Fresh veggies are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, with adequate fluid intake, you should not get constipated. It depends on the type of carb and the amount of fiber. Alot of processed carbs are stripped of their fiber and contribute to constipation.
