I have been using the carnivore diet for 6 months. I do not eat any fiber at all. Eggs, beef, clean pork and chicken. grass fed butter and a shot of raw goat milk every few days. ND tested my gut with stool sample and was impressed with my healthy biome. 54 yr old on BHRT for 3 years. Maybe only people who eat carbohydrates need fiber?
