  • Zoe Harcombe challenges the prevalent belief in the necessity of dietary fiber, arguing it's a non-nutritive waste product our bodies cannot digest. She questions the widespread promotion of fiber intake, citing historical misconceptions and a lack of evidence for its health benefits, and discusses studies showing the elimination of fiber can resolve many gastrointestinal issues.

    I was always plagued with hemorrhoids when I was on the standard western diet ( I ate tons of fibre ).
    You just assume hemorrhoids are normal as you age.
    Since changing to a Keto/carnivore diet all hemorrhoids have gone completely with no re recurrence.

    This diet was exactly what my mother was told in the early 1950's by doctors at a former US army hospital in Oxford, UK. She had ulcerative colitis very badly and was regularly in hospital for months at a time until this point having blood infusions etc to keep her alive. She kept to a lowish fibre diet all her life and lived to be 98.
    She also helped my father who developed colitis in old age in the 1980a when was prescribed a high fibre diet which made him worse. She fed him low fibre food and he recovered. Note she was also treated with the newly discovered drug cortisone at huge expense to the newly formed NHS.

    I’m 75 years old. I’ve been on the Kaba lifestyle for almost 5 years years. I am going through different healing programs within myself. My brain is getting more grounded and clear. My muscle tissue has enhanced. I wore glasses at 40 years old. My eyes are back to almost perfect vision. I seldom need to use a Magnifier to read anything I wish I knew about this at young age. My experiences in life would’ve been completely different. I hope you consider trying it for at least 60 days. I can’t believe that I’m still getting more enhanced as time goes by, my physical structure has gotten stronger and quicker and more flexible. Good luck with your life.

    I've always had difficulty with regularity, might be more about early upbringing, parents always fighting and outside toilets, freezing in winter I've tried the fibre and Brown bread just bunged me up more. At the age of 75 still not totally regular but still fit and healthy. I've lived a life of taking laxatives about once a week with no serious harm yet.

      You're right. Once a day is not what every person experiences. As long as it is regular and once every couple of day without pain or lots of straining then that should be good. "Normal" is the baseline of each person. To some people their 'normal' is once or twice every 3 days. Others, it's 2-3 times per day.

    I don’t think Professor Tim Spector would agree, apart from the fact we can’t digest fibre, but our gut microbes do & that’s what feeds them & they’re very important for our health. It would be good to have Zoe Harcombe on the Zoe podcast but that’ll never happen because she challenges their narrative! I get the “waste product” bit but I’m dubious about zero fibre. I certainly don’t eat 30g a day but I do have some. Very interesting about white vs wholegrain. Trouble is we’ve been fed (no pun intended) so many lies about diet over the years it’s hard to know what’s right. I think you have to find out what works for you as an individual. Limit UPF, get rid of seed oils & artificial sweeteners for sure. But there’s no “one size fits all” in anything. BTW she’s not a medical doctor, she’s a PhD, Cambridge University graduate with a BA & MA in economics/maths whatever that actually means. That’s not a slur, I genuinely don’t know!

Ive been eating carnivore for 10months, zero sugar, zero carbs, zero plants, zero processed foods, zero seed oils, zero fibre. Im off all my heart meds. My blood pressure is 15points lower without meds than when I was on meds. My mental and physical health transformation is something I still find startling. I effortlessly lost 75lbs, cured arthritis, ibs, gastric reflux, depression, anxiety, prostate problems, joint pain, sleep apnoea, inflammation, t2 diabetes, and a host of other things.

    The microbes in our intestines produce short chain fatty acids and butyrate when they digest the fibre we eat and these by products are used by the body. They also help regulate and monitor gut health. If anyone is having problems when introducing more fibre they should consume small amounts and increase slowly so that sufficient amounts of the required gut bacteria can grow.
    To say that we don't digest fibre so we don't need it is plain wrong.

      “You can eat anything in moderation”, I fully disagree.
      Thousands of people are turning to carnivore because we can’t tolerate even the smallest amounts almost any plant based foods without suffering painful/inflammatory results, even if we start small & increase over time. In the end a lot of us would rather choose a life of physical comfort & limited variety, rather than trying to eat things that others expect us to eat, only to suffer the consequences for days later.
      “One says this and the other says that.” Yes, people in power lie for their own benefit all the time & their lies get perpetrated until they are believed as truth... It’s very time & energy consuming to go digging through all the “this & that’s”, but that is exactly what Zoe Harcombe has done, she has spent thousands of countless hours reading through articles, studies, journals , etc, following the threads back to their origins, & so she is sharing what she has discovered… I’ve been doing my own digging for the last couple of years, & it has really opened up my eyes to the bullshit that they feed us.

      Some bacteria feed off fibre. If you stop eating fibre then those bacteria die off and are replaced by other bacteria that feed on the foods you continue to eat.

    When I was on keto/carnivore I had nothing but the most awful gas and runny diarrhea ever. Not to mention it kicked off my gallbladder issues that prevent normal bowel movements. High fat absolutely clogs the gallbladder and if people stay on keto, they can never get off of it. Ever since I started incorporating more fruits and vegetables I go to the bathroom, no issues. Keto drastically improved my mood but did shorten my fuse without all the sugar to satiate my anger. I doubt most of the people in this comment section have been on keto/carnivore for long enough to actually experience consequences. For those that have, they're just lucky or lying about how disciplined they really are.

      Binding to cholesterol in the small intestine, preventing it from entering the bloodstream.
      Forming a gel-like substance in the intestines, slowing down digestion and trapping cholesterol.
      Allowing the trapped cholesterol to be excreted from the body in stool.

      Why do you claim we need fiber when there's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, with or without fiber? You don't need to be eating it. The body only needs essential amino acids and fatty acids. Maybe the problem is that people are clogging up their systems with useless carbs.

    I'm sorry but this is a bunch of processed insoluble fiber, to put it frankly. People have known for thousands of years the benefits of, and have been eating, whole grains and fruit and vegetables. With the industrial revolution we began to process grains and make white rice and white flour for instance, which have led to much of our current woes. You need only look at historical documents that show the rich people eating lots of cake and white bread and meat getting gout while the poor people are spared such diseases since they are eating whole grain bread and potatoes and oats and various vegetables. Or look at our present society! However the reverse has happened and now it is the poorest people who are restricted to processed foods and the rich people can buy vegetables and fruits, which are indeed much more expensive than ramen and cheap cereal. This lady is using reasons that may sound logical but she is ingoring some very important aspects of the digestive tract function, which are right there in the surgeon's hypothesis. While fiber does not have any nutritional value it serves to push out all the other stuff. That is very important! Its called physics! That being said you dont need to and shouldnt be eating a bowl of all bran for breakfast and metamucil for a midmorning snack and some prunes for dessert. Thats too much! Just getting fiber as it comes in whole grains and vegetables along with your meat and fish and everything else that is great for humans to eat. And water...don't be telling me fiber is bad and you aren't drinking water.
