Default insoluble fiber, like bran cereal, isn't absorbed?

So I look up 'fiber' on the internet and read that most of the insoluble fiber is not absorbed because it cannot be digested, at least not all the way. Would All-Bran cereal be considered insoluble as it is like the main part of the brain, etc...? It's "supposed" to lower glucose levels, prevent fat from being stored, etc... Anyone have any opinion on bran cereal as part of a low-carb diet, because, supposedly, the bran isn't being absorbed because it is insoluble, therefore, is it low-carb because the carbs "don't count"? Kind of a stretch, but just want to hear thoughts..

Dispite its name, Kellogg's All-Bran cereal is not all bran. The first ingredient is wheat bran, but the next two are sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

There are 23 grams of carbs per serving of which only 10 are fiber. A serving is only about 1/2 a cup.

Default fiber and carbs

Hi there - the lowest carb cereal I know is Fiber One, which has 14 net carbs per half cup serving. I put almond milk (no sugar added almond milk) on it instead of milk. So depending on how many carbs per day you can tolerate and still lose, that might work well for you.
