The keto diet has transformed the figures of some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But when wellness expert Naomi Whittel gave the low-carb, healthy-fat eating plan a try two and a half years ago, she found a major flaw. “My body wasn’t getting enough fiber-rich foods,” says Naomi, pointing out that a diet lacking in fiber can have negative side effects, such as a weakened immune system and even storage of extra fat.

But in her latest book, High Fiber Keto, the wellness guru details her solution. “I plussed up keto by incorporating fiber and made it work better for my body,” explains Naomi, noting that her 22-day plan can also boost metabolism, repair digestion, balance hormones and even reduce anxiety. “The results are amazing!”

Thinking of giving the popular diet plan a try? Naomi Whittel shares facts that females need to know.

NW: I worked with nutritionists and dieticians to create delicious things like keto chili and chicken tenders. I also added cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower to many recipes because they reduce inflammation and wrinkles.

OK!: Can you recommend a prebiotic fiber for someone on-the-go?

NW: When I was starting the book, I spent the day with my friends at SlimFast and they brought us their Fat Bombs and Meal Bars. I saw that one of their main active ingredients is inulin, which is a prebiotic. I got really excited!

OK!: Any tips for sticking with a keto diet?
