Fiber Menace

I agree that carbs are a big part of the fiber equation. Eating ketogenically comes with a low fiber load. From the book intro:

Quote:
That's why just a generation ago, avoiding fiber was the quintessence of prudent nutrition. Caring parents everywhere, American and European alike, were earnestly peeling fruits (apples, peaches, pears, prunes) and skinning vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes) before giving them to children or eating them themselves. The French and Italians still do it. And the Japanese diet is practically fiber-free.

Americans, on the other hand, are urged to consume 30 to 40 grams of dietary fiber daily, regardless of their age and health.
