Constipation is common with high-protein diets. Usually, there isn’t enough fiber since carbs are often restricted. However, adequate fiber intake prevents constipation. For a rich source of protein and fiber, eat beans and nuts. Veggies like asparagus, leafy greens, and cucumbers are high in fiber but low in carbs. When you do eat carbohydrates, choose fruits with fiber. This will ensure regular bowel movements.

While lentils may appear tiny in size, they are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals - all with virtually no fat! Thanks to their high fiber content, lentils helps aid digestive health, lower cholesterol, and even prevent blood sugar levels from rapidly rising after a meal. Plus, they are heavy on the protein side too, making them an excellent choice for vegans.
