I'm back on low carb for two straight weeks now. If you want to throw down $8 for a book check out "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance". I THINK it might even be FREE as an Ebook if you are an Amazon Prime member.

Even if your not "all in" for what the Authors propose there is tons of scientific study backed information in there.

I have been using the wheat dextrine based fiber supplement with good results...Walmart has their own brand, same as "benefiber"....but the benefiber stuff comes in small single serving packets that are handy in case you forget a dose in the morning, or are on the road a lot, you can add it to most anything, it does not thicken stuff, I have added it to scrambled eggs before cooking for example.

Getting fiber loaded in from the beginning this time around with low carb was a LOT better than trying to add it in reaction to lower GI standstill :-).

I agree on the juice but I have been using a can of Low Sodium V8 every day.

Some of the key recommendations for successful induction into a lower carb regimen were increased sodium intake (yup increased), get plenty of potassium (tomato and V8 juice are loaded with it), and focusing more on say olive oil and butter as fat sources than vegetable oil.
