BarryRx here is a link that includes high fiber foods.

High Fiber Foods List for a High Fiber Diet

You will notice beans contain the highest fiber. Do not use canned beans as they are lower in fiber and high salt. Dry beans are the best and I have a lot of great recipes if your interested.

Old fashion oatmeal and steel oats also provide a lot of fiber. Never peel your apples as that's where the fiber is. The skin on most fruit and potatoes provides the fiber, except banana's.

There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble and they both have a important role in digestion and absorption. Here's a link to explain the difference.

Dietary Fiber: Insoluble and Soluble Fiber

When you do go back to eating ditch the white bread, rice and pasta. Whole grains or multigrain is what you want when choosing bread. Switch over to whole wheat pasta and long grain brown rice. These will contain more fiber vs. the white.

Google is a vast source of dietary information and I used it often when making the switch to healthy eating. A lot of good information at your fingertips.

Good luck to you on your healthy journey. It's not always easy to do, so be diligent and remain focused upon your long term health goal.

Or just eliminate sugar, grains and gluten from your diet.

Read, Grain Brain by Dr David Perlmutter and discover how dangerous some foods are and how important fat and cholesterol are to you health.

Don't know him but Wikipedi reports

Criticism

Perlmutter's book has received criticism for perceived 'hyperbole' and misrepresentation of data.
Johnson, Nathanael. "Is gluten lobotomizing you?". Grist Magazine. Retrieved 4 February 2014.

Epidemiologist Dr. David Katz, founding director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center, has criticized Grain Brain, saying "Perlmutter is way ahead of any justifiable conclusion" and that many of its claims are "wildly preposterous".

You are a kind and considerate husband! :thumbup:

Pretty much every book and every dietary plan has been criticized.

There are a lot of politics being played in the nutrition industry. I'm sure you can find criticism of vegetarianism as well.

If you don't like that book there are plenty others with the same information. Try Wheat Belly.

There is also a lot of conflict of opinion. I think that you have to read some books and decide what you believe. I've read Carl Esslestyn's book and several others.

It seems to me that sugar is the primary enemy. A lot of people agree that we were making a big mistake when we replaced soda with apple juice in our kid's diets years ago. We thought we were giving them something healthy when we were giving them just as much sugar as was in the soda. The glycemic index of apple juice is extremely high. That's why I don't understand this juicing craze. People who do this have to be sending their pancreas into overtime.

I think you may misunderstand juicing. The vast majority of what I juice is not fruit, but green leafy vegetables.
Spinach and other leafy greens are sometimes considered a "free" food on low-carb diets because they have so little impact on blood glucose. The vitamin K they are packed with may even have a positive impact on blood glucose, and some diabetics notice that it is easier to control their blood glucose when they eat a lot of greens.
