Adding fiber to lower GI/GL?

#1

So this was the point/question I was trying to get at in my other post (which I did not articulate very well). I understand that adding fiber to your meal won’t decrease the net carbs, but won’t it decrease the glycemic index/glycemic load of the overall meal? (thus lowering insulin, thus promoting ketosis)

This link maybe explains it a little better…

…Does this have any impact on the keto diet? Obviously avoiding high GI food is ideal, but if you do eat something ‘bad’, wouldn’t you benefit from adding in some fiber?

I’ll be getting my blood glucose monitor tomorrow, so I will run some experiments I guess.

I have been growing wheat grass (super easy), and since I am too lazy to juice it, I have just been chucking a handful of it in with my smoothies (small amount of blue/black/raspberries, almond milk, coconut oil, turmeric, some greens and ice). I know the fiber in wheat grass is indigestible, but I figure since it is getting liquified, it should be ok… right?

Anyway, I will test to see if the added fiber from the wheat grass lowers my blood glucose spike after drinking the smoothie.
