Confused about fiber content of foods

Hello. I'm new here, and to say the least, I'm very confused and overwhelmed. I am going to have to take this slow, otherwise I think I would just give up.

A question right off the bat that is perplexing me is that on this diet, it is recommended to eat a lot of rice products such as Rice Chex, Cream of Rice cereal, Honeycombs, etc., as well as a lot of white stuff. This goes against what I have always thought was healthy, but I can get over that hopefully. In honesty, I have always considered these types of cereals "junk". What I can't seem to reconcile is that these types of foods are supposedly high in soluble fiber, but when I read the label on the package, they all say "0" for fiber content, including white bread, which is a biggie on this diet.

PLEASE, what am I missing? I have read and read posts, but can't find anything to address this question. Please forgive me if it is already somewhere, but I did not find it.

Thanks very much for your help!
