Safe to ingest Metamucil while on Atkins diet, correct?

Technically fiber is a carb, but since it's not absorbed, it's fine, right?

Correct. I recommend a more natural fiber suplemment though, such as psyllium husks capsules.

 

[PlatinumGold]

yes, carbs - fiber = net carbs.

Isn't Metamucil psyllium fiber anyway?

Yep, that's why this is probably the wrong place to come for health advice.

I would recommend taking a fiber supplement while on the Atkins diet anyway. You want to make sure your fiber intake is appropriate. It's a good way to make sure that you'll feel "regular" while on the diet.
