    And here is a definition of fiber, it is not starch at all.

    DEFINITION OF FIBER

    American Association of Cereal Chemists (2000)

    Dietary fiber is the edible parts of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine with complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine. Dietary fiber includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, lignin, and associated plant substances. Dietary fibers promote beneficial physiological effects including laxation, and/or blood cholesterol attenuation, and/or blood glucose attenuation.

    And one more reference from Wikipedia:

    Fiber, in the nutritional sense, is cellulose, not starch. Starch is not a fiber.

    I know but it's wheat, straigtscoop. -( I just wouldn't risk it. That's basically following the same thing as the South Beach Diet where you subtract the fiber from the carbs. And you know how we look at ingredients and don't eat it if it has ANY added sugar or starch. You know this has some just looking at the way it breaks down. :-( I'm glad it works for you though! But when Dr S says no sugar or starch, I go by none at all. The body weight can fluctuate so much early on that it's not safe for so many. But if someone wants to experiment like you do, that's up to them. I'm just reporting what Pounds and Inches says so they can make an informed decision. :-) I wouldn't eat oat bran for the same reason either. There is some starch in it. It's not 100% pure fiber.

    Well I totally disagree, because fiber is NOT starch and bran is fiber. I'm not talking about the South Beach diet, I'm referring to what fiber is chemically, whether the word "wheat" is in front of it or not. That's like saying almond flour is the same as regular flour made from grains. It's not, it's chemical composition is different. What you call it is just semantics, it's the way our body digests the chemical components that matters. I could label it "pure bran fiber" without the word wheat if that helps. That's how laxatives are labeled, so then I'd essentially have Metamucil.

    I know we disagree on this. :-( Do you eat food if it has sugar or starch listed in the ingredients? I don't. some can be more loose with it than others. But even looking at the way it breaks down, the listing I had showed 1/4 of the carbs still left in it so that part had to be starch. But everyone can do what they like. I just wouldn't eat it in P3 personally. Too risky for me.

    Oh and I wouldn't eat anything with the word "bran" in it because it comes from a grain. I wouldn't touch any grain.

    If a food is 99% fiber, it only has a tiny fractional amount of natural starch, like an almond does and which many people eat in P3. So I assume you don't eat miracle noodles either... they are 100% fiber also from a plant.

    They have no calories or carbs so they really ARE pure fiber. They are root only. The bran stuff has carbs and calories so it's clear they are NOT 100% fiber.

    But like I said, everyone can decide for themselves. :-)

    I bought the "Two Moms in the Raw" sea crackers as well as Kale chips!

    Kale chips were kind of pricey so I looked up the recipe...

    BAKED KALE CHIPS
    Ingredients
    * 1 bunch kale
    * 1 tablespoon olive oil
    * 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

    Directions
    1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
    3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
