I want to get opinions on if a fiber free diet is possible long term and even healthy when it comes to transit through the digestive tract without fiber to bulk it up.
I asked Ray Peat this question in an email and his response was "I have been on a fiber free diet for years". This was surprising to hear because I think a lot of us think that RP eats some fiber. Carrots, mushrooms, turnips, etc are all things we've heard Peat mention in his diet. I asked him to elaborate but he did not respond back, in classic Peat fashion.
Right now my diet is very sugar, protein and saturated fat based. Mainly beef and lamb, seafood, dairy, orange juice, coconut water, soda, sugar. Some eggs and chocolate. Even with these foods I am getting a bit of fiber from chocolate and maybe OJ even though it's pulp free.
I do believe milk has a form of soluble fiber in it as well?
I rrally enjoy this way of eating and seem to need a lot of protein so this works well. I'm just concerned about long term effects. For TMI, I only poop once a day and it is small but very easy to pass, I'm guessing from the fat. It's also very pale which I'm guessing must be the dairy fiber.
Does anything have any insight? Does anyone eat similar to this?
