Do you find you do better with more or less fiber? Or maybe there's a sweet spot?

Just to be clear, I am not saying that no one should eat fiber ever again. Clearly some people can tolerate it more than others. But tolerating fiber and fiber being essential for health are two different things.

Great video! I raised my six year old son on lots of fruits and veggie and some meat thrown in. For almost a year he experienced stomach cramps after he ate. Took him to the doctor and he was so backed up. I’ve been eating keto for almost a year now. I put him on a loose keto diet. The only veggies he can eat are cooked and he eats cured meats and healthy fats. I make bone broth for him and add collagen into his food. I kid you not...for 2 months he has not had one stomach ache and is going regularly🙌 I think I was feeding him way too many uncooked veggies and his body couldn’t digest it all.

Hi Kait! Love you! Love your channel! One year ago my doctor told me that I was diabetic. I took the challenge to do something about my health. I saw a dietitian, she told me to journal what I ate. The journal wasn't working. It told me when I ate the banana but I began to realize that it isn't when I ate the banana but that I ate it. I made a new chart/table. Its columns were feelings that I had 15 to 20 minutes after I ate. Bad feelings: gagging, nausea, discontent, diarrhea; stretched, stuffed, full but no fed signal; pain; ache, discomfort, sneeze; hungry; thirsty; tired, exhausted; limit warning; spit it out; Good feelings: content, comfort, awake; warm, satisfied, satiated; a thank you rush; a fed signal. I distinguished a difference between fed and full. If I ate properly I felt fed without feeling full. If I was full but still didn't feel fed, still opening the fridge door looking for food, than I ate the wrong food for it failed to feed me. Fibre makes me feel full but not fed. I wrote down what I ate under each column based on how I felt 15 to 20 minutes after I ate. I lost 55 lbs (25kg) (4 stones). I no longer have arthritic pain, no longer have heartburn, no more chest pains, no more stomach pains, and no more anxiety attacks. My skin is unexpectedly healthier. My heart rate has dropped from high 90s to low 70s. I can now stand up off the floor without needing to grab onto a chair or table for help. And best of all my wife hugs me more often. When I started, I had no idea how this food experiment was going to turn out. Overtime, plant based foods ended up in the bad columns and animal based foods in the good columns. To my unexpected surprise, I discovered that I was a carnivore. I now eat over 30 eggs a week, chicken legs, butter, certain cheeses, tallow, seared rare steaks, liver chopped into bits in ground beef. And oh yes! I'm no longer diabetic. Kait, I love your beautiful smile. Keep smiling. I know I will.

I dropped fibre completely and I have not had any stomach pains, bloating or farting since. I also don't have any constipation either. I have never felt better. You'd be hard put to convince me that any vegetable matter was necessary. I feel too good on a no fibre diet to ever go back. I'm 54, I wish I knew about this 30 years ago.

Love your videos Kait, thanks for all the info :D

We are a keto/carnivore family and I noticed you mentioned in one of your videos about not liking organ meat (I get it!). Here is my tip: Try it in meatballs (even the kids eat them)!

I use:
- 2kg ground beef
- 500g of liver (lamb/beef/chicken - it doesn't really matter)
- half cup of chia seeds (could probably use almond flour or coconut flour instead if preferred!)
- 4 x Eggs
- garlic + salt (go heavy, but not to excess on either!)
- Herbs to your liking (I go heavy on an Italian herb mix).

The trick is in preparation ....

- Freeze the liver solid, take it straight out of the freezer and grate it (any ole cheese grater will do!)
- Mix everything together well (by hand or any other means!)
- Let the mixture sit for a couple hours in the fridge (the chai seeds hold everything together and soak up extra moisture)
- Wrap the meatball around a square of your favorite cheese, rinse repeat until you have all your cheese filled raw meatballs.
- Either cook them in a pan on med-low heat or in an oven tray @ 180C for about 20 mins (flip them at 10 mins) :D

Enjoy those hidden bio-available vitamins without that liver taste ;)

Since going Keto I no longer have bloating and gas. It took almost a month for my system to have regular bowel movements, but all's well now.

[peteschreiber]

Great video. I'm on Keto & under 10 carbs a day, and was just wondering about not getting any fiber in my diet. Thanks for easing my mind.

[artestra]

Was on blood pressure meds for nearly 2 years. Been doing keto for 5 months now I'm off meds and my bp is perfect *without* exercise. Low carb diets are awesome

[Kthomasritchie]

An important message that needs to be raised. Fibre is at best overstated, and at worst detrimental to one's health.

[feurten]

I "developed" IBS some 12 years ago. At the time I was trying to eat a more "healthy" diet after developing Diabetes. For 12 Months I have been very low carb and now 4 months Keto (nearly Carnivore) and OMAD. I now am "pre diabetic" with reduced medication. I have absolutely no IBS and no more excess stomach acid with perfect blood pressure.

[AdornamentDesigns]

I appreciate that you actually look into the research and show it!

[johnnypenso]

I discovered much of the evidence you used in this video when studying the keto diet. Spread the word!!! So many food myths need busting.

[UntakenNick]

I think the key is prebiotics rather than fiber. I had digestion problems all my life until I started to eat low carb with lots of vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, avocado, Swiss chard, etc.. which don't provide a lot of fiber but are greatly beneficial for gut bacteria.

[TheRealRealOK]

Zero fiber is my sweet spot. Carnivore ftw.

[karenmichaels]

Hi Kait. I love that you back your words with research! TY. Your argument re veganism for the environment & animal welfare was incredible. Had no idea abt all those mice! And cow farts, ya that's the problem, come on! Anyway, I'm wondering abt the claim that fiber is necessary for feeding our gut bacteria which then produce short chain fatty acids which supposedly gives us better health & protection, etc. Is fiber needed for good gut health? TIA.

[calotcha]

The thing i really like about your videos is that you research the stuff and provide data. 👍🏻

[rawmeatman]

No you do not need fiber. I eat zero fiber per month. I eat raw beef, raw pork, raw chicken, and raw tuna every day and 3 times per day. It is the perfect diet for my body, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I have sustained myself with this healthy lifestyle for 3 years, and it feels great! You should try it!

[desiree]

I had IBS and SIBO for years.. stopped eating fiber and healed. So.. no, I didn't need it and feel way better without it.
