And all carnivore say fiber is killing is all

[@Ruktiet]

Because many people who benefit from carnivore are people who have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or intestinal methanogen overgrowth (previously known as “methane SIBO”), which both can cause IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and immune hyperactivity due to the strong immunomodulatory role of the small intestine, and the high permeability, through which lots of bacterial toxins, metabolites and food antigens can seep into the bloodstream if the intestinal barrier is inappropriately high (“leaky gut”). Carnivore helps by starving the small intestinal overgrowth (almost always E. coli K12 and Klebsiella species), which thrive off of carbohydrates. Thus it normalizes the small intestinal microbiome, but it doesn’t target the root cause of WHY SIBO occurred in the first place, which is often due to FOOD POISONING. People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; DON’T CONFUSE THIS WITH IBS), often have dysbiosis in the colon and actual autoimmunity to their mucosal tissue proteins. Often, probiotics and diversifying the large intestinal microbiome works here.

Oats have 10.6 grams of fibre per 100g. Dunno what that means in cup, since a cup is not a standardized measurement. Even if I lived in the US, cups can be of different sizes. In any case the world doesn’t measure their foods in cups.

[@amandawilliams9135]

I would add that going from a low fibre to high fibre diet in one go isn't the best way to do it. Better to increase fibre by 5g portions per week . So someone eating only 5g a day week 1 should eat 10g week 2, 15g week 3 etc. Less problematic

The "higher performance" claim was from a food questionnaire. Low quality studies produce low quality claims.

With my IBS-D/high-fibre sensitivity... If I consumed 40g of fibre a day, I'd have to set up home on the toilet and would have the worst gut pain😰. I can only handle 3-5g of fibre per meal. My takeaway on fibre is: some benefit from more fibre and others benefit from less or even no fibre. Due to living in a fallen broken world, it really depends on the individual, as we are all unique and are "decaying" different!

[@aquie4d999]

Fiber is SO powerful. I eat, after 7 years of striving and adaptation, around 80 grams a day, and there is something there, that we still don't know, but super powerful.

Don’t do this if you have non-constipation IBS, because in that case you very likely have SIBO, which requires prokinetics and sometimes antibiotics (rifaxmin; non-absorbed, local antibiotic). It is very often triggered by food poisoning due to a complicated mechanism which leads to autoimmunity (anti-vinculin antibodies) to nerve cells in the small intestine (interstitial cells of Cajal) which regulate cleaning peristalsis (migrating motor complex). A lack of these migrating motor complex cleaning waves results in SIBO.

I never get that feeling of I've eaten to much with fat and protean that I used to get with something like a typical Sunday dinner. Oddly I have seen it said that Fibre aids digestion by slowing transit but also prevents calories ( for want of a better word )being absorbed so which is it?

These studies do not compare to carnivore. You can get most of these benefits even better by going carnivore. Fiber helps you deal with the consequences of eating plants. If you decide to get high quality fiber in moderate amounts by eating superfoods, I cannot argue with you. But if you just eat random plants, you are causing the problems you are fixing. Sprouts, microgreens, some seeds and nuts, high polyphenol berries are items that might be worth the disadvantage. It is important to consider sprouting and fermentation to increase the advantage and decrease the disadvantage. But it is dangerous to think that fiber itself is a superfood.

Thomas can i hear how you feel about this. I know you love your dogs. The people who work at places where they kill animals say they are getting traumatized they wished customers killed the animals they eat themselves. They are saying they are stressed out, poor sleep from all the killings and would trade anything for meat eaters to do the killings themselves.

What would be A cheap source of fiber to consume daily? While being on keto Nevermind .

So I guess you disagree with your carnivore friends and doctors. They say fiber is not really good and you see hundreds of people doing fantastic on a carnivore diet including myself since I stopped eating all vegetables and fiber. who is right and who’s wrong?

[@jaredf]

Everyone has their own truth, so there is no absolute right or wrong. In my opinion, the truth is that every food, when prepared properly and sourced ethically, offers unique health benefits. The key lies in embracing diets of abundance rather than cancellation (AKA: only meat, only veggies, only this, only that…).

[@CB-ys3wy]

I think it's based in what works for you. I did carnivore for a couple of months and fixed my gut. Now I'm back to Keto.

⁠sourced ethically?

[@barbieknight6761]

@@jaredf- Thank you, yes!

[@monnoo8221]

First: they say fiber, and refer to plants. Second: it is the microbiome and the brain which makes us individual. There is no general answer, upfront. Yet, the microbiome can be trained and changed within a few weeks. A good starting point: fermented food.

[@TooslowTA]

Ok now you need to explain why the carnivore diet has the same effects??? People who come from a paleo diet with issues and go carnivore to solve those issues???

[@SuperRomanHoliday]

This is so confusing, plenty of modern research says the complete opposite and says fibre is basically waste material that blocks you up, which also seems like common sense. Help. Can imagine it helping lose weight as it has no nutritional value.

I'd rather believe Zoe Harcombe PhD on this topic

I went to your link to Get a sample supply of seed probiotic. Interestingly, it’s by subscription only so you have to cancel if you just want to try it despite the fact that you said not to take it all the time. I detest marketing schemes like that. It might be a quality product, But when you force someone into a subscription, it says to me the product is Focused on getting money and has a slight scam feel. Also, when you go to the cart, they automatically puts two in your cart instead of one, furthering the scam feel. I’ve followed your channel for several years now and just turned back to it because I needed some motivation and I’m just letting you know that this is a real turn off that the first several videos I turned back to feel like just marketing videos.. I’m sure I’ll still come to your channel, but I can’t keep it in such a high regard as I used to. As a fellow business owner I just thought you’d want to know how that affects some of us. I understand the need for advertising, but I would sure value your channel more if you kept it more balanced. Again, I always appreciate your advice and information and the fact that you are not too proud too change with what’s out there information wise. Very commendable. Just offering my opinion on how your advertising has in my opinion got a little over the top.
