- RETHINKING FIBER WITHOUT THE LIPOPHOBIC BIAS THAT DROVE US TO REMOVE FAT FROM OUR HEALTHY HUMAN DIET. Fat Salt and water = healthy human poop and bowel function with low levels of inflammation. PLANTS = INTESTINAL INFLAMMATION. This video has value for everyone from rookies to carnivore veterans. These insights are not beliefs or conjecture. They reflect real data from an extremely busy clinical practice dealing with metabolic health transition. Know the scientific truth about how your body works.
Research Discussed... Human evolutionary data and intestinal physiology.

As someone who was high fiber, higher carb, vegan for 5 years… I developed horrible digestive issues. What I ate, came right back out. I was severely bloated all the time, nauseous all the time… in the bathroom all the time. All that on top of all the other health issues I developed… I was so done with veganism. Now I’m eating an animal based diet, full of fats and meat. Feel fantastic. All my health issues are gone, in less than a year.
Same here!!! My digestive system got ruined!! 😔 Every day that goes by eating a carnivore diet I feel better and better!
Absolutely same here. I’m only 1 month in on the repair, but already seeing huge improvements in all areas.
Yeah, I imagined myself back in the caveman days- on my diet I would have been thrown out in the cold for stinking up the place, no doubt. That's when I realized maybe the same establishment that sells us pharmaceuticals just wants us sick and dead.
We're you vegan for moral reasons? How did you make the switch from vegan to meat eater without any problems? Not trying to be snarky just curious. I always wonder how we switch morally from veganism to meat eater (assuming that's why lol)
People just lump in all "fiber" containing foods together though.
Most of these individuals not tolerating the likes of highly refined carb rich processed foods such as breads, pastas, cakes, sweets etc
Then trying to blame the likes of healthy whole plant-foods such as berries, broccoli etc that these people didnt even really eat any significant quantity of.
FIber has become one of the most villainized nutritional factors virtually overnight all due to this carnivore fad diet pseudo-science extreme all meat/animal food fad thats popped up out of nowhere.
Never thought I would see dietary fiber, prebiotic fibers become demonized in my time and fake diet "experts" telling their fans to never eat a healthy fiber rich whole plant-food ever again because its so supposedly bad for health now overnight based on no science of course.
Have been low carb for 8+ years, lost >60 lbs, A1c now stays around 5.3 from being diabetic previously. I am still basically on original Dr Atkins diet, as I my diet is green leafy veggies, full fat diary and meat, mostly red meat and sea food. I now have cut out so called “vegetable oils” and use butter, olive oil and lard. Have a huge family history of polyps colon cancer and have a few cut out before going low carb. Still being monitored by my gastrointestinal doctor, and nothing has been found in ten years. He still says to eat fiber, cut all meat/fats etc and is very congratulatory on me keeping my weight down all these years…noticed he is gaining a few lbs, will tell him my diet secret at some point.
Well apparently Doc i need to enlighten you as well about how wild carnivores get fiber. Its called fur and feathers as well as the grass ruminant from zebras and deer because they eat the entire animal from head to tail. I have watch plenty of youtube videos of Lions eating entire wild boar including intestines and stomach and the contents. I have seen wolf and bear scat and its always loaded with fur from their prey.
So while you may choose to not eat fiber i will continue with my cruciferous vegetables primarily but also sugar free psyllium fiber because i believe it feeds the gut biome and if not it keeps me with my regular daily constitutional and i like a regular movement. I was crapping every three days on meat snd fat heavy diet and even with 4 cups of decaf still not regular. I have no gas because i don't have an over abundance sugar/carbs anymore in my digestive tract. It is the sugar and high glycemic carbs mixed with the fiber that causes gas, yeast over growth, fermentation in our gut. This you are completely off base on this. Since eating mostly meat and vegetables eliminating all the sugar, statch, grain and most fruit i can easily eat things like broccoli now without digestive issues because i dont have a over abundance of sugar and sugar based carbs to ferment the fiber. Im no doctor but having a daily movement is common sense more healthy than a 3 day. Amen
There is absolutely no reason why you need to take a crap 💩 everyday.
@@jengenx7729 im glad you enjoy packing around waste
I have learnt this lesson myself after years and years of being told to eat more fibre. I now eat NO fibrous foods and nolonger have IBS The sad thing is that eating fibre for the ‘microbiome’ has been the narrative for many years. I have found that once the gut is inflamed, fibre just makes it worse. This doctor is a gem
Yes girl you are spot on correct. That's because fiber can trigger inflammation
👉 fiber = inflammation = GI issues
Dr Cywes, this is absolutely brilliant. Spent my 20s and 30s eating plants and grains. All i got from that was painful ibs. The cramps will make you pass out. Got rid of sugars and bad carbs 20 years ago in my 40s. What a relief it has been! Im 64 now and mostly carnivore. I'm hiking, biking etc. Thank you ❤️💕❤️
Can you go to the toilet with that meat?😟
I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for your videos, Doctor. In this atmosphere of “Trust the Science” (but only the science published by the WHO/CDC) it takes courage to question officialdom in the face of its ability to pressure, ostracize, defame, and strip of licensure. I love you guys standing up to the powers of orthodoxy. And with studies, footnotes, references, and conceptual common sense. Just the way my brain is wired. Thank you, sir!
Well stated. I was thinking the same
Thanks for another fact filled video. It's very frustrating and confusing when constantly instructed by so many medical resourses to increase fiber to improve heart heath.
I’ve learned the VERY HARD WAY, that fiber shuts down everything in my gut. All gears grind to a halt. I got caught in the nightmare-cycle of eating MORE fiber to solve the problem that fiber started.
I’m mostly carnivore now, and inflammation has decreased by a LOT.
That's because too much fiber can cause bowel obstruction
another pile of BS (no pun intended) dispelled by the #CarbAddictionDoc
1:50 "The human intestines does not contain bacteria which can break down fiber into fatty acids..."
Patently false. A healthy microbiome does exactly that... at least according to many other doctors and scientists heer on youtube, who have just as many professional credentials as you do.
I am SOOO disappointed in the medical profession.
Nobody knows anything. You all say contradicting things and your patients are suffering the consequences.
A colonoscopy recently showed I have colitis in my colon. I went carnivore for five weeks, my stomach swelling reduced, but I didn’t poop much. Over Thanksgiving fell off the wagon all my joint symptoms my bloating, my foot problems and many others returned after two days. Believe me I’m back on carnivore..
Fiber: oversold and harmful.
👍 🥩 😎 🌻 ❤️ 🥩
As a WFPB (aka vegan) I had ever worsening IBS-C. The last 8 years or so I looked 4-5 months pregnant, developed an umbilical hernia (surgically repaired), diastasis recti, and was having trouble breathing, all from the intra abdominal pressure.
3 days, THREE DAYS, on keto diet with of course greatly reduced fiber intake, and all symptoms 100% gone. I'm stuck with the diastasis because that's structural damage.
There are at least two women practitioners, one in Illinois, the other online, who claim to heal diastasis recti by pelvic and other exercises. I wish I could give you clearer information. Best wishes for your healing!
@@margomoore4527Thank you. I did see a PT for other reasons, urination/prostate, and in the course of treatment she did ultrasound of my abdominal muscles while I "braced" as if to lift weights; I got to watch in real time for instant feedback. It turned out that my transverse abdominals were doing almost nothing and my obliques were doing all the work. And indeed, at rest my obliques were about 4 times as thick! So she slowed my way down and I worked at home for several weeks retraining and waking up those sleepy transverse. Now I have almost no diastasis and what little is there vanishes when I brace during exercise.
Lions , cheeta and crocs eat the GUTS of their prey. The guts is full of shit/fibre.
I want to do carnivore but I keep going back to eating some veg when I can't poop- from what I'm reading here I just need to be more patient and eat meat with fat salt and water
I remember when my dad was told by his doctor to eat fiber. “That idiot doctor wants me to eat wood. He’s outa his damn mind”.
Excellent video. What are your thoughts on sauerkraut? It’s one of the only veg I eat; that and fermented pickles and olives. Can you comment on how already fermented veg affects the gut? 🙏
Dr. William Davis (author of Super Gut) rates fermented foods very highly for gut health. Regular pickles and olives are not, strictly speaking, fermented foods. I enjoy "Bubbies" pickles and Greek "Mammoth" olives but I certainly don't eat truly fermented things like sauerkraut (which has no appeal for me).
My Mrs. spent 11 of the past 12 years suffering from serious IBS, with daily nausea that wouldn't go away. Colonoscopies, blood tests, supplements, more fiber, the works... nothing helped. Last year, she went keto, and 8 months in, switched to carnivore. IBS and nausea gone, 100%.
Oh my word~ such a painful, scary route getting here for her! So glad to hear your wife's issues have resolved, seriously~ that is no way to live at all. To be that miserable day in, day out is consuming & affects everything. My husband has been dealing with the same for about 20 yrs, & I just can't stand it. He's better now, after over a year on mostly carnivore, but he had been "low carb" per his doctor's "under 150 carbs a day" recommendation for many yrs prior-errggh! After we married in 2012, it took a few years before I truly understood how bad it was, & before he was comfortable sharing the worst of it~ which is understandable. Immediately I began researching everything I could, trying various things until we finally found keto, then carnivore ~ whew =)
When you care so much for someone, there's literally nothing you won't do to alleviate their discomfort. Now retired after 34 yrs in the military, he gets his favorite steak several times a week, enjoys his beloved coffee w/out pain, & is a very happy guy~ which makes me even happier=) The key is to not stop until we figure it out, whatever "it" is, right? Life is very good. ~The Whitson's in AZ
@@RV-there-Yet What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing. Yes, this degree of IBS is very debilitating, and can actually affect personal relationships because of the constant state of discomfort the person is feeling. 150g/day of carbohydrates is not low-carb 🙂... that is what the "researchers" who are biased to veganism are pushing, because they are still under the misguided belief that exogenous carbohydrates are essential for human life. The problem is people will follow those guidelines, because they think that the pharmaceutical companies, the doctors, the researchers and the government, are responsible for their personal health. It is when you realize that you are the only person responsible for your own health, that you can really begin to heal.
It doens't mean "carnivore" extreme all meat/animal food fad diets that contain absolutely no healthy whole plant-food intake to be healthy, just because an extreme elimination fad diet that removes virtually every food-group and unhealthy processed food offered symptomatic relief.
Any good dietician would be trying to work out why such an extreme plan that isnt safe to follow for health long-term offered relief, was it a food allergen that was removed, was it grains containing wheat/gluten etc.
Its much the same as the extreme fruitarian fad diets, which remove virtually every food-group and of course many of the fans who try these diets have instant symptomatic relief.
Doesn't mean eating a diet of only fruit or meat/animal foods is safe, nutritionally complete or healthy though, let alone optimal for preventing disease and promoting longevity.
@@evidence-basedhealthuk5271 Yeah, I gave up on dietitians a long time ago 🙂...
Thank you for this information and I personally know people who have so many of these problems, me, I have been on the Keto way of eating now for 12 mths as I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Disease back when I was 53. I am now nearly 70 and although have lost weight, the bloating went, bouts of Diverticulitis have stopped, do have more energy not wanting to have a sleep in the afternoon etc and although I have not seen a Dr for nearly 5 and half years feel that seeing a general Dr will not understand this way of eating as being beneficial at all. I have not found a Keto Dr but am following you Dr Cywes and you have given me hope that I am probably in remission now of the Hashimotos. My mum had problems with Irritable Bowel also other health issues but unfortunate she was diagnosed with cancer and passed when she was 84 that was in 2003. My sister had a check on the bowel with a test and had to have a small section cut out found polyps and she is ok now. My brother-in-law has Crohns disease and is managed by diet at present. What is frustrating is that the more you find out about how fiber is not needed in our diet and try informing your loved ones this and they just dont believe you! I have even sent a video explaining all this but most of the time they wont take the time to watch it. I look after my well being and every now and then may go out to have a meal but I am so choosy about what I consume now as I know that all those added bits and pieces they put in our food will irritate my gut and I pay for it at the other end the next day 🤨🤨.
I LOVE your comment!!! Thank you. (I hope you're family will get it some day)!
That is MONUMENTAL if you have reversed your Hashimoti's! I feel like crying tears of joy!
Wow! Can I ask you what “keto” foods you eat? What veggies? What fruits? Reversed diverticulitis?!?!?! I need that!!!!
@@shar7508 Alex, look into Eat Right for Your Type by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. There he lists veggies (and all food categories) according to what a person needs based on what blood type someone is. I helped my sister recuperate from surgery and loose over 100 pounds by applying what he has research and taught there. If you are blood type A (she was)... your meat sources should be chicken, turkey, and fish (not all fish... he gives a list)... but your BEST source of Protein is soy (tofu, soy milk, soy "meat," and soy beans [in all forms]). Soy meat is so inexpensive! I made that for her often, and she ate it as you would use ground beef (not for burger patties, though). I would diced (mince) tofu and put it in her yogurt. Knowing something about cooking and how to play around with his to use and combine different foods is helpful. Most people don't know what to do with a loaf of Tofu. So it requires learning (online research), experimentation, trial and error, and patience. If you are blood type O, your focus should be on sources animal protein (which D'Amato also lists)...if you are Type O, Carnivore is the way to go, or "Ketovore" (some people need some veggies [which D'Adamo lists] but just the 40-20 carbs or less. Just remember that each person is different. Also, Dr. D'Adamo wrote his books before the idea of Kero and Carnivore were "out there," so he does not speak using those terms. Also, if you are Type O, go to TH-cam and look for Laura Spath (especially her recent "Costco Haul), and also Kelly Hogan (or it might be Logan) at "myzerocarblife"). Best wishes for a healthier, happier life!!! ❤
Well done! Folk won't want to unlearn decades of programming, until, like you, there is pain. That's human nature, sadly.
@@shar7508 We have basic red meat, consists of steak, lamb, chicken and pork. Have bacon and eggs for breakfast every day and Veges Broccolini and broccoli, cauliflower, beans basicly. Sometimes we will have a deconstructed burger which is Cos lettuce and on top of that a lamb burger with tomato and melted cheese on top and onion we will have this for lunch. Today we had a huge field mushroom, cooked onion, bacon, and grated cheese melted on top and Sriracha hot chilli sauce on top just small amounts that is, for lunch. Fruits are blueberries, strawberries and Raspberries with full fat cream on top for dessert if we feel like it. We were also having Monk Fruit with erythritol but found it left an after taste in your mouth so what I do now is if I want a sweetener I use strawberries or blueberries to sweeten. Only use about 1/3 of a cup and just mush it up a bit if its fresh fruit or froz I just cook it for about 5 mins till its not froz but warm. Once I stopped having rice, wheat, grains, sugar, potato and any other veg that can be too high in carbs and only have what I mentioned and cook with lard or olive oil. No more diverticulitis!
DR. Jamnadas, who is in agreement with most of DR. Cywes ideas disagrees over fiber. Both guys are in the same circle, yet have wildly different opinions over fiber. Who to believe?
WOW, One of your best videos! Thumbs up and subscribed!
I'm sooooooo thankful you're in my life. 🥰🥰
Share him, people. 😀😀
The evidence is solid from our carnivore patients that fiber is not necessary for healthy poop. So I am not certain where those recommending fiber get their facts from.
Probably from fact checkers run by big pharma and big food…
Evidence is solid?
Its mostly a bunch of individuals lying who are still eating and cheating with some intake of fiber containing plant-foods behind closed doors, yet trying to make out to their fans they are living on a dangerous extreme fad diet of nothing but meat/rib-eye steaks and some animal foods.
The individuals who actually do dilligtently try to follow a no fiber diet end up constipated in days on carnivore until the point they cannot function without reintroducing plants back into their diet aka the vast majority of these individuals from Rogan to the rest.
A diet completely void of all dietary fiber and whole plant-foods is just a complete recipe for early mortality and disease promoton, not even safe or healthy to begin with.
So you've got the long-term carnivores literally having to overload their liver with saturated fats until it causes an IBS style bowel movement or resorting to laxative supplements such as magnesium just to do a bowel movement, all because they are generically terrified of all dietary fiber, even prebiotic fibers which support the beneficial gut flora and scared of plants usually due to a variety of nutritional factors they don't even understand the science of correctly.
Eating meat is the easiest thing to do. Makes everything simple from grocery shopping, preparing, cooking, and clean up. Thanks for simplifying my life.
Feel exactly the same! Steak on omnigrill, 5 min, done… salt, few fried eggs… all what it takes is max 15min preparation time.
@@Meritumas Must be like those people who cook abit of vegetables for 2 minutes and you're done
Simple lol
It doesn't mean we should now box ourselves into an extreme dangerous diet of just meat because its easy to buy or easy to cook, and start consuming no healthy whole plant-foods ever again.
You might aswell just start dining at the heart attack grill following these carnivores and at least enjoy the refined burger bun, chips and condiements that you are depriving yourself of just to binge on an all meat dangerous fad diet thats going to result in likely early mortality and disease promotion anyway.
I suspect your average junk food western dieters will radically outlive most of these carivore fad dieters because even individuals eating a typical processed western diet for 40-50 years often don't have as poor blood work as the liks of Shawn Baker and the carnivores do after just a year or so eating this way lol
So why did I get diverticulitis while on meat based diet?
Actually a bit of fiber can help bind bile and the toxins within that bile, so it's not reabsorbed, and helps transport it out of the body. I'm not talking about loads and loads of fiber, but some has this beneficial effect.
I think you're absolutely right. It's the dosage that counts. A bit (and the amount will depend on the individual) will help clear the toxins out. For me, this means no more than maybe a 1/4 tsp. a day. Many indigenous people, even those primarily on an animal based diet, will eat at least some tubers or berries, or other vegetation, and get their fiber that way.
Been keto for 4 years, eating lots of cabbage. Ended up having 2 polyps removed and have a couple diverticula now. Was told when leaving to increase my fiber!! This week decided I'm going to give carnivore a try but was wondering about that fiber and would eating meat end up with colon cancer? Very timely video. Thank you!!
The Standard American Diet is what causes colon cancer, and many other cancers. Sugars (carbs) feed cancer…I know, late stage 3 colon cancer survivor.
There was a meta study that was done on the subject of meat causing cancer and heart disease, and it found zero evidence from that study. Meat consumption has dropped more than 40% in the last 40 years, while cancer and heart disease have gone up 3X+ in the same period. Perhaps it's something else 🙂?
@@DJMT-Africa good, more meat for wise people…
"would eating meat end up with colon cancer?"
Eating meat in the USA is just a marker for eating sugar. And sugar has been shown mechanistically to induce cancer (by signalling the cancer cells to grow rapidly). In other countries meat intake is not associated with colon cancer. Those studies are just vegan/adventist bullshit...
@@btudrus Amen!
The second video I've watched by you Dr. Cywes. I've watched many great doctors on TH-cam and they are great and I've gained so much knowledge. But you, so far explain things the best!
I love his dry humor
To be correct, no mammals have the enzymes to break the saccharide chains of cellulose down into digestible sugars. All require the assistance of a gut microbiome to make use of cellulose. Even more interesting is that mammals also digest the metabolites of these microbes, which supply fatty acids, as well as the microbes themselves, which supply protein. So when a cow, or horse or gorilla gets large and muscular while eating grass and leaves, it's not the forage that does it. The plants feed the microbes, and the microbes feed the mammal!
Yup
wow very interesting
This explains why a high fiber diet absolutely WILL NOT WORK for a human the same way it works for other primates. Humans have almost completely lost our cecums and the capacity to effectively ferment cellulose in the hindgut. This means we cannot foster the necessary gut biome, which effectively feeds other primates
So the plant-eating cow/horse/gorilla are effectively eating a high-fat diet.
@@Malcolm-Achtman yup. Saturated fat, too.
What about fruit blueberries,strawberries,watermelon,cantaloupe cherries. We don’t e or fiber but to eat with our meat,egg and dairy diet.
2024 Sept......just discovered you.....straight talk love it! Along with Ken Berry and Westman.
One proven use of fibre seems to be protection from fructose overload in the gut (by lining the gut or something). So fibre is needed so you can eat fructose rich fibre foods. Or just don't eat fructose rich foods, works as well. :-)
Dr. Cywes: From your mouth to your asshole, fiber can not be absorbed by your body. Love this definition!
It’s so true I ate an artichoke got the worst stomach issues @ after. I love this guy Honest!! 🙏🏻❤️🥩🥩
I have the same reaction as you. I discovered it's because Artichokes are high FODMAP
@@pabloblanco2656 and okra.
Where are the studies.. story telling is not enough
Rob. I would love to see you debate this out with Rob Lustig. I respect both of you but you have extremely opposing views on this matter. It’s hard for followers.
What is there to debate? These are the facts.
@@mclifer not according to Robert Lustig.
Love it when the doc swears. Have a good day doc, everyone 😊
Because we're exposed to countless food choices and countless "authorities" telling us what to eat, most of us are in a constant state of dietary confusion. If we weren't confused, we wouldn't be watching all these TH-cam doctors. What may be most helpful is to find out how our ancestors ate. Go back just a few generations to a time when food choices were healthy but restricted and where there were no "nutritional authorities" spreading their beliefs and stories. What did your relatives eat a few generations before you showed up? If they lived a high-quality life, they probably ate a lot of fowl, sheep, pigs, eggs, butter, beef, other animals, fish, and some berries in the summer.
So, no gummi bears.
And died at 35😬
@@dr360joules killed by a bear or shot by an outlaw. 😁
@@dr360joules Not true at all.
Our ancestors had no food choices - they ate what they could find, mainly animal products. For a few months in the year, they ate plants and fruit, mainly to fatten up for the winter. They were lucky if they ate once a day, if not once in two days. They had no storage, refrigeration, preservation, transportation, supplements, pharmacies, ashwagandha or colon cleansing . Fast forward to 2022. I wonder how we, as a species, made it this far, then...
I came across your channel a few days ago, while I was researching on the carnivore diet and I'm so thankful 😌🙏 This content is gold! 💛 I'm sharing it with everyone I love 🙏
Your absolutism on this threatens making a crackpot of you. Generally, I like your vids, but this is a bridge too far. Not buying.
Agree…
Very low fiber works great for me. When I eat fiber it becomes bloat gas bloat gas bloat gas .... endless reaction :) So ketovore or carnivore are great for me.
Same for me!
Robert Lustig claims fiber feeds the gut. What say you ?
Incorrect. Ask any carnivore
Dr. Cywes you are by far my favourite guy on TH-cam. I would love to see a video from you about vitamin A toxicity from e.g. Liver and how to overcome it
Will do ADEK
You overcome it by not eating nonsensical ridiculous quantities of liver and you eat the liver in sensible quantities lol
Unlike what these carnivore fad diet promoters are recommending everyone to binge on liver to unhealthy levels, get massive amounts of copper whilst you're at it.
Who cares about nutritional balance afterall, all you need to do now for health is binge on rib-eye steaks and animal foods, its the cure for every disease seemingly.
Just makes sure you dont even eat a bite of a single healthy whole plant-foods such as berries, they contain mystical "plant toxins" that make you too healthy lol
Why are there so many vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruits?
Actually v sparse
I have dropped 90 pounds on a keto diet. I thought the bright colorful food were an important benefit. Broccoli for example - a low calorie cruciferous vegetable high in fiber, vitamin C and K, potassium, and more. Are these colorful vegetables just a waste of time?
I eat about 60g of fiber per day. Lots of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables and just a bit of meat. A1c is great, glucose, and everything is great. Feel great as well just like everyone else I’ve ever helped with diet. You sound convincing to the average person but we all know how much education a doc has in nutrition. Nice try …😂
Dr. Paul Mason has a TH-cam video that goes over a study that successfully treated a number of people with digestion issues (Crohn's, IBS, etc.) by eliminating all fiber in the diet. This study compared various diets to determine which diet reduced the symptoms of Crohn's, and other digestion issues the best. The no fiber, very low carb diet eliminated all symptoms.
It's always a great thing to dissect analyse and re analyse and observe different perspectives on these very important ideas.
Brown wrinkled hole....priceless
I was "diagnosed" with IBS after having some issues, the Dr said my intestines were very inflamed, and asked if I use ibuprofen often, which was actually something I rarely used. My diet was pretty much trash, so the standard American diet. Addicted to carbs, sugar, junk food and fast food.
Going on 30 days doing "ketovore" and aside from the usual mentioned "keto flu" bowel movement symptoms, my overall gut has been tremendously better. I have cut my antacid use in half, the inflammation in my left leg has gone down considerably, and I've lost 29lbs, 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size. It's incredible what can happen in 30 days.
Happy to have found Dr. Cywes, as several others putting out this info.
While on keto, I experienced severe problems with my bowel movements. Went days between them and when my body was finally ready to go, I had to push extremely hard to make it happen. When I had regular fiber, my movements were every day like clockwork. At age 67, I think my body was trying to tell me something. I have gone back to eating green vegetables and I am much more regular and on schedule. I agree that in theory your body can do without carbs, but not sure my system is ready for it.
This is very interesting for me.
I myself in the last month have changed my diet, not quite keto but very low carb.
I am experiencing exactly what you said about being infrequent, and having to push extremely hard.
To me, there is no blueprint diet for each and everyone to follow. We all have to see what works for us.
However having said that, I am always curious to find out information from others, hence watching these videos and reading the comments.
Could I ask, what kind of green veggies do you eat now ?
Kind regards.
Had similar issues, started eating more fat an drink more water and all is ok now
Did you consume dairy? Dairy protein causes constipation
@@elven6920 No dairy for me during this time. Vegetable fiber seemed to be what I was missing.
I experienced similar symptoms. I increased fat consumption and the issues were gone. I was eating not enough fat comparing with protein.
I neither seek out fiber nor avoid it. I eat a very low carb whole food diet, and there is generally some fiber in it. For me fiber is just incidental.
Love this discussion so much ! I was SO happy that I learned fiber was actually having the opposite “ told “ effect on my body … I eat close to zero fiber … never had better GI health 👍❤️
So, fat and protein is really all we need to be healthy?
Now you're catching on.
Fiber makes me feel like there are knives scraping through my lower intestines and it makes me sad because my 3 favorite veggies which are broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts, are the worst in my gut.
Thank you, Doctor.
Best general but extremely important doctoral advice I've ever heard.
Ate a lot of cabbage 2 months ago and my stomach has been bloating everytime i eat something. It took 2 months to get better. Damn you plants!
We tried to switch to carnivore and had difficulty pooping! How can we fix that???
YES YES YES - HALLELUJAH !!! Let there be more enlightened and bold doctors like you 👍
My favorite part of his video is when he says " yeah I said that " L o L I love people that don't hesitate to call it like it is
Re seeds deposited in 💩 to spread that plants domain. My paleo perspective got a big jolt. I love nuts but avoid the seeds. Your African sensibility is sooo refreshing. 💪🙏
“Fibre is essential get lots of Fibre in your diet” Mr Kelloggs
What did HE know? How to make money, that’s for sure….
Try adding MCT Oil 2x/day, working up, gradually, to 1 Tablespoonful. That should facilitate comfortable bowel movements.
exploding lions tigers and cheetahs lol that was image for my mind
Been carnivore 2 years and still have massive issues and histamine/salicylate intolerance and horrible digestion due to antibiotics and a lifetime of stress and medications. The antifungals and antibiotics ruined me and I have no idea how to fix these imbalances and dysbiosis now. Meat hasn’t been my answer it’s just all I can eat.
Sorry.
Check dr William Davis’ YT channel. He is the author of the Wheat Belly book series and talks a lot about fixing gut after taking antibiotics.
You won't fix dysbiosis on a carnivore fad "diet" void of all prebiotic fibers which are what primarily maintain the gut flora and binging on nothing but meat/animal foods as these fake carnivore huxsters are trying to sell everyone the pseudo-science of.
Hi Dr. Cywes, I am quite confused by this video. On the one hand, you stated that vegetables are good and can be eaten as much as desired.
(th-cam.com/video/QsmvSFECBtQ/w-d-xo.html)
and in this video, you state that fibres are potentially harmful? As someone who enjoyed your videos for their simplicity and straightforwardness, I don't know where you stand on vegetables anymore. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks
I scheduled an appointment to get established with your office. Getting caught up on your videos and I’m really
looking forward to my appointment in Feb. Thank you for all your valuable information and for how detailed and educational your content is. I find you to be very open-minded instead of speaking from a narrow viewpoint. The info about the biome, yes! I’ve been wondering about the microbiome with a Carnivore lifestyle. Great content
Hi, do you mind telling me about your experience with the office? I'm considering making an appointment. Also do you cRe to share what the cost was?
We back in the 90s my girlfriend and I were huge juice man fans we would juice and juice and juice we did this for years. We had his tapes. And he was huge into raw food raw juices and he would go on and on about fiber how milk isn’t fiber meat isn’t fiber eggs aren’t fiber cheese isn’t fiber and he would do this. His thought was you have to have raw vegetables and fruits to keep everything going. I never really gave fiber much thought. I didn’t have an issue I’ve always had the opposite issue. I still would love to choose but I just don’t do it anymore it’s just got too much sugar.
My mom ate cereal everyday and went into dementia for the last 15 years of her life.
Dementia is complex and driven by many issues.
Even elevated homocysteine is now considered a modifiable independent risk factor for dementia.
Just because someone ate cereal doesn't really mean much.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT FACTS!!!!! Every time people tell me I NEED fiber . . . I just sent them HERE NOW!!!!!!! I shared this with a friend who just MINUTES ago told me I NEED fiber in my lifestyle of eating!! I said, NO I DO NOT!!!! And I sent him THIS VIDEO!!!! PERFECT TIMING, Doc!!!!! You're the BEST!!!!!! I will ALSO send MORE people HERE to THIS video to PROVE my point I do NOT NEED FIBER!!!!!
The "outside the body" concept for the intestines was a great point. Not quite a Klein bottle.
Love his gentle but logical attitude
dr. Cywes. can you please do a video on ppl that are underweight but are extremely carb addicted. I am skinny. But binge on carbs, cakes cookies. etc. literally consume thousands of calories in one sitting. I also have medical issues and organ damage liver pancreas. so I cant be eating like that. ive adopted low carb and I am feeling much better about my food consumtpion. can you tell me why I remain thin even though Ive always over ate? I seriously since i was a kid probably ate 3000 calories plus a day. iam wondering if i had pancreas or liver issues from a young age. thanks!
I have been on a fiber supplement for years because of having a twisted colon. At first I was diagnosed with irritable bowl syndrome until I had imaging that showed my appendix in my upper right quadrant. Are you saying I would be better off eliminating anything fibrous from my diet? Carnivore diet? Also I am on what I believe to be a healthy diet which contains meat and veggies.
Love you Rob. Can you answer a question. How come you, and Zoe Harcombe, and Ken Berry and Paul Mason ALL disagree with Robert Lustig when it comes to fibre. I love and respect him too and this fibre controversy between you confuses me. He constantly emphasises it’s importance. And it’s such a shame we have all been told our entire lives by your profession to eat this stuff.
Why is there fiber in foods? Does fiber help cancer patients? When you say "Can" instead of "will" I don't put much clout into what you're saying. Diagnosis for 10% of the people and then putting that logic to the other 90% is probably bad science.
Dietary fiber is the part of food that bacteria ferment to create small chain fatty acids according to the literature. Also, carnivore diet makes me terribly constipated, maybe it’s because I have no gallbladder but a friend of mine who has no gallbladder either experiences the same thing on carnivore. These videos are great but it’s a little frustrating to deal with the confirmation bias in these videos.
do I need to have any leafy greens? I have IBS right now.. I can eat more meat, I just dont know if I am supposed to eat anything else with my meal? thanks...
Try carnivore
I"m confused. You say don't be fooled by products claiming net fiber by adding fiber. Than you say vegetables don't count for carbs because they're mostly fiber.
Question - I heard a ketone researcher say that fiber helps keep your glucose and insulin from spiking too high after eating meat and fat. Also it is suppose to keep the spike duration shorter. Is this true ? I've been eating carnivore for 4 months and my glucose level is a little higher than when I was just keto. When from 80-90's to 104- 107. Any advise to help bring it down?
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC Thank you for the information and encouragement ! Have a fantastic day!
Shit or poop. Choose one for Christ's sake...
Another sounds like a medical professional though.
This all sounds completely ridiculous and yet is exactly my experience. Less fiber is better digestion. Think about it, what fibrous food tastes good to us? The skins of fruit or root vegetables are gross and historically never eaten. Whole wheat bread is gross. Husks have always been removed from rice until just recently when people started eating brown rice just because of the fiber myth.
I can definitely tell that there is heavy prejudice when it comes to the importance of fiber in the diet. The prejudice is based on possibly misinterpreted observational studies. What Dr. Cywes states in this video seems almost blasphemous when viewed from the point of view influenced by the wide-spread prejudice. But I think it might not be. That being said, I eat fiber of keto. I have a vegetable garden and I'm self-sufficient when it comes to vegetables. It would be a pity to not use the garden. I like vegetables, however strange it may sound :-).
In his new book Metabolical Robert Lustig says: 1. protect the liver, 2. feed the gut. He says fiber is to protect your gut, do you disagree with him?
Fiber is fine but not necessary and likely harmful
@@robertcywes2966 You're wrong about this. Right about most things; wrong about this.
I totally agree with Dr. Lustig because this has been my personal experience, and that's the only thing that really counts.
My opinion. Dr. Lustig is more than anything anti-sugar, anti-processed food. Listening to him, I don't get a sense that he is really pushing VLCHF. That is very important in understanding his stance. There are aside from the list of bad things which Dr. Cywes listed that may be beneficial from fiber. Fiber is (aside from alcohol, methane, etc) converted into butyrate, a short chain fat which the cells lining your intestines use for fuel. That, I believe, is Dr. Lustig's point. However, the importance of producing butyrate in the gut is deminished when in ketosis because the same cells use ketones for energy as well. Then there is butter which is +/- 10% butyrate and much tastier than fiber! Also, we are dependent on bacteria to make that conversion, and the microbiome varies from person to person. So, in effect, you would hope you would have enough of the right bacteria to make the conversion.
Fiber also has the benefit of forming a gel which slows absorption of carbs. But that is not an issue if you are low-carb in the first place. This property of fiber could possibly be helpful if, as Dr. Cywes suggested in a previous video, someone decided to carb-cycle, but that would be for self experimentation...
Thank you for all the medical information you give.
Dr. Cywes, you have an amazing channel, full of information. Thank you for educating us! Totally agree with what you said. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto, went low carb, then keto, still my antibodies would not go down as they shoud. Since 95% carnivore, all my symtoms are gone, and I fell like new born! Keep fighting the good fight! we all support you! Cheers and lots of love from Romania!
My doctor says I need to eat more plant foods and less meat to fix my HDL. my blood pressure has been borderline high and she put me on a betablocker I don't want to take. I think, that what I understand is, that insulin resistance is what is affecting my blood pressure so I am trying to lower my blood glucose levels doing carnivore. and I already know that plant food probably won't lower my bad cholesterol. Its frustrating to go to your doctor and have them want to give you pills for these things when you know they won't get to the root of the issues.
Get a 2nd opinion
Feel your pain… it’s liberating to fire such doctors…
Healthy whole plant-foods improve lipid/cholesterol profile through numerous mechanisms.
Who is teaching everyone all of a sudden that these proven healthy plant-foods such as fruits, vegetable, nuts etc which have been shown to reduce incident diabetes risk significantly, improve metabolic and cholesterol/lipid profile, reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure etc.
The carnviores are literally eating the exact opposite of a heart healthy diet plan, all because individuals like Shawn Baker and co want to get rich peddling nonsense pseudo-science extreme all meat/animal food fad diets that contain virtually no healthy plant-food intake for balance or health.
A complete recipe for early mortality and disease promotion. Not surprising these carnivore fad diet "gurus" like Baker have terrible blood work with numerous abnormal results relating not only to lipids/cholesterol but elevated fasting glucose, high Hemoglobin A1c at prediabetic level, all whilst boasting how "carnivore" and all meat is a wonder cure for metabolic health lol
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease and high blood pressure many years ago. Also for years I was constipated and suffered from hemorrhoids. My doctor suggested that my meds might be the cause and that I try taking polyethylene glycol daily. That helped me tremendously. For three years I have been eating a low carb diet but still take about 10g of PEG with decaf coffee in the morning. My cholesterol is 245, including LDL 134, HDL 95, The mention of fiber as a contributor to dementia, Alzheimer’s, cancer, etc. causes me to reconsider the use of PEG. But I would hate to have to deal with hemorrhoids again. Maybe I will try to gradually phase out the use. If anyone has any suggestions I’d greatly appreciate your reply.
Psyllium Husk? Bulk laxatives?
@@MarkSmith-js2pu , thank you for your reply. However I think that psyllium husk and bulk laxatives are also fiber-based diet additives that Dr. Cywes is warning against.
@@kathleenbenton8338 yeah I know but sometimes you just have to. I’ve battled the Hemmies for decades. Consider strict Carnivore? Transition into it if need be.
@@MarkSmith-js2pu , I understand your pain. I hope that you find your solution.
@@kathleenbenton8338 after hemorrhoidectomy 35 yrs ago, the surgeon said he found 8 oz of warm prune juice and coffee worked fast. I tried it and did that every day for probably 10 yrs. It worked in 30 to 45 minutes. No solids at all. No such thing as sugar free prune juice. 😭 😀
Promoting fibre is in the interests of the big cereal manufacturers
How can we regular bowel move daily without Fiber?Thanks.
Will you ever consider to make an interview and possibly learn something from paleomedicina (Hungary) ? Those people saved so many lifes...
I can't believe he said all that with a straight face as though the short chain fats your gut makes by fermenting soluble fiber are not unambivalently health promoting. Also suggesting something that's not necessary is therefore not beneficial. Exercise and sunshine are not strictly necessary either , maybe the next video will mock them because of it.
But if no fibre intake, my bowels won’t empty naturally! How do we get them moving on a carnivore diet?
Did you say potatoes cause diverticuli? My sister is having a problem with lots of them. One of her fave foods is potato salad.
Critical question - Isn’t there a significant body of medical evidence demonstrating that low fat high-fiber diet with the fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds and beans etc. is actually very healthful and linked to longevity what do we do about the actual studies to demonstrate this. Do vegans get more colon cancer than meat eaters ?
I had severe constipation issues, nothing worked, including magnesium tables plus salt etc However, psyllium husk resolved my issue and released my constipation.I think it varies from person to person to use fibres of one form or another.
Problem is a lot of the commercial fiber supplements contain added sugars. You might want to see if your local health food has a brand with no malto-dextrin, mannitol, etc. stevia is not a sugar or sweetener, only a flavoring (unless IT has added sugar (!)) no escape, gotta read those labels….
Doc this is called science....this is dawn of civilization....
After 8 months fully carnivore my the bowel movement decreased near to zero . Simply my digestion got stuck .Getting one cup of low carb vegetables few times weekly improved things greatly .
Do you eat enough fat?
Why then do all fruits contain fiber and generally regarded as unsafe when the fiber is removed leaving only the juice to be consumed?
Dr Paul Mason said that adding fibre to clear constipation makes as much sense as adding more cars to clear a traffic jam. I had a day of exploding diarrhoea when my intestines started to clean out all the bad stuff I'd been eating all my life, a week or so after I stopped all carbs except a very small quantity of non-inflammatory veg once a day. After that day of withdrawal symptoms, my belly deflated and now looks and feels normal.
Everyone's different. I was keto, but cut my ApoB in half when I added legumes (the highest fiber natural food you can get) and reduced animal sourced proteins (no red meat). I get about 40 g of fiber/day. But whole grains are a HIGHLY overrated source of fibre, less than 10% of the total carbs.
