10 Low Carb Snacks
Snack #6: Blackberries
Another berry makes the list! One ½ cup of blackberries contains a net of 4 grams of carbs. This is 15% of the daily requirement. Most people do not get enough fiber in their diets.
Blackberries are rich in fiber. Fiber has two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and is the form of fiber that is believed to decrease cholesterol levels and maintain blood sugar levels. In addition, it slows the absorption of food. Thus, it will keep you feeling full for longer. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. Instead it adds bulk to stools and allows for stools to pass freely through the digestive tract.
