9. Making Vegetables and Fruits Low-Residue
You do not have to avoid all fruits and vegetables while on this diet. Many people skip out on these very two important food types when on the low-residue diet, and this can cause required amounts of nutrients to drop too low. Instead of abstaining completely, people eating the low-residue diet can modify the fiber levels in these foods. Skinning and then cooking high-fiber foods can have this effect. Also, more tender fruits and vegetables tend to have lower fiber content.
