Why we recommend it

Cutting carbohydrate usually means cutting fibre at the same time, because in an ordinary diet the two are in the same foods. What follows is the complaint people are too polite to mention for a fortnight and then abandon the whole thing over.

Psyllium is soluble fibre. Two capsules with a full glass of water, and the water is not optional. Taken dry it swells in the wrong place.

I've tried it, I love it, so does Nico.

Nothing gets on this list because a brand asked. We try everything ourselves. And only recommend things we'd feed to our families.

The carb bands are ours. Zero is under a gram a serving, Low under five, Medium under ten. Where a product's own marketing and its nutrition panel disagree, the panel wins and we say so on the page.

Only carbohydrates become glucose. Protein becomes amino acids and fat becomes fatty acids, which is why a fatty snack with two grams of carbohydrate does very little to your glucose and a fat-free one with twenty does rather a lot.
