Here's a story about keto and fiber, straight from the mouth of wellness guru Naomi Whittel. Two-and-a-half years ago, Naomi, like many celebs, hopped on the keto train—a low-carb, high-fat diet—but quickly noticed something was missing. "My body wasn’t getting enough fiber-rich foods," she shared. Fiber is the unsung hero of our diets, and without it, we can run into problems like a weaker immune system or even fat storage. Yikes!

Naomi didn’t just throw in the towel; she got creative. In her latest book, High Fiber Keto, she reveals how she tweaked the keto diet by adding fiber. "I turbocharged keto with fiber and made it work wonders for my body," she explained. The results? A revved-up metabolism, improved digestion, balanced hormones, and even less anxiety. "It’s incredible," Naomi exclaimed. Who wouldn’t want that?

Closer caught up with Naomi to chat about her new book release.

Fiber: The Missing Ingredient in Keto

Closer: Why is fiber so crucial for women on the keto diet?

NW:Let’s talk about the big picture here. Fiber isn’t just about keeping things moving in your gut—it’s anti-aging magic. Prebiotics, which are often fibers, are like the favorite snacks of the good bacteria in your gut. When you feed these little guys well, they reward you with better health. Think of it as a win-win situation.

NW:Oh, I worked with top-notch nutritionists and dietitians to create mouthwatering dishes like keto chili and chicken tenders. But here’s the kicker—I added cruciferous veggies like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. Not only do they taste great, but they also fight inflammation and even wrinkles. Who wouldn’t want that?
